His last visit to Cleveland was in July, 1885, when he ordained four priests in the absence of Bishop Gilmour, then in Europe. Bishop De Goesbriand was one of the most earnest and untiring of these early workers in the wild north-country region that is now the populous diocese of Cleveland. It was by the labor of a few ardent spirits like himself that the foundations of a great and strong Catholicity in North- ern Ohio were made stable and enduring. For all that Catholics of today have or know of the faith, for all the spiritual blessings that are theirs, they are indebted to such men as he.
