Cardinal Law celebrates 100th anniversary of St. John School

Cardinal Bernard Law was in the North End on Sunday June 4 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of St. John School. He held a Liturgy of Thanksgiving at Sacred Heart Church.

John Baptist Scalabrini was Bishop of Piacenza, Italy at the turn of the century when Italians were migrating in massive numbers to North and South America. He founded a Congregation of missionaries to follow the immigrants to ensure that they would remain loyal to their Christian faith in countries which were predominantly Protestant. He was also instrumental in persuading Mother Cabrini to send her sisters to care for Italian immigrants in The Americas.
