PREFACE.
HE Publishers offer this history of the Catholic Church in Indiana, two volumes, to the public, but especially to the Catholics of the state, conscious that while it may not prove to be all that might have been expected, it is never- theless meritorious in that through much labor and research a degree of completeness and exactness has been attained.
Nothing of great importance has been overlooked or minimized nor has any considerable number of lesser matters been either neglected or exaggerated. Facts and events are eloquent even when simply narrated, and they are argumentative, too, when pre- sented in the relation of cause and effect. As set forth in this history they tell of a Providence that directs the affairs of the church and bids Christians hope for the increase of the kingdom of God on earth.
Being connected even as instruments in the furtherance of these things-a great distinction when properly considered-may we not indulge the hope also that our labors may meet with the approval and receive the substantial support of those in whose interests they have been performed ?
The history proper was prepared by Mr. M. W. Carr, of Indianapolis, and Rev. Bonaventure Hammer, of LaFayette, ably assisted by Very Rev. Chancellor Denis O'Donaghue, rector of St. Patrick's church, Indianapolis. The parochial sketches, mentions

of educational institutions and biographies were written by others, prominent among whom we may mention Prof. James F. Edwards, of the university of Notre Dame, Rev. H. Meissner, of the church of St. Charles Borromeo, Peru, and the Very Rev. M. E. Campion, of the church of St. Vincent de Paul, Logansport.
We also acknowledge our indebtedness for valuable assistance to the clergy of the state, and especially to the right reverend bishops of Indianapolis and Ft. Wayne, whose generous letters of approval and commendation are here appended.
