School Dedication, Sunday, October 13, 1957 Father Tobin addressing Congregation Bishop blesses school while Father Newell looks on.
a
.........
The construction started immediately and continued at such a good pace that the school was ready for occupancy on September 3, 1957. 126 pupils were enrolled. The first group of sisters arrived on August 19, 1957.
The school was dedicated by Bishop Leech on Sunday, October 13, 1957. Appropriately, Father Tobin was the guest orator for the occasion. The Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus added dignity to the ceremonies. A considerable number of non- Catholics were on hand to extend their well-wishes and congratulations. The happiness of the Bishop was reflected in his laudatory address, in which he said:
"From the day I became your Bishop, over twenty-one years ago, I have hoped and prayed for the day when I might see a parish school in Ephrata. In the Providence of God, that blessed day has now come, and you can well imagine the spiritual joy that fills my heart today, as I have the honor of invoking the blessing of the all-high God upon this school of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.
"Many elements, under God, have entered into the making of this school, the newest among the seventy parish schools of our Diocese of Harrisburg. I want to talk, in the first place, about the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, one of the most Christ-like religious orders in the entire Church, whose members we call by the familiar name of the Redemptorists.
"Eighty-nine years ago our missionary diocese of Harrisburg saw its very humble beginning, as the Bishopand his priests took up the struggle of bringing to the precious flock some adequate measure of the divine light and grace and strength which our people definitely need if they are to live full Catholic lives as incorporated members of the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church, and as intelligent and dutiful citizens of the United States and of their local communities.
"In all these eighty-nine years there is no religious community whose superiors and individual priests have more clearly recognized our missionary situation and have given more generously, perseveringly and effectively of their spiritual and temporal talents to the solving of our diocesan missionary problem than have our beloved Re- demptorists. And you, my priests, will attest to what I say.
"Forty-three years ago it was, in the time of Bishop John Shanahan and the Provincial Father Schneider, that the Redemptorists found their missionary way to Ephrata. Yes, my beloved people of Ephrata and Lititz and New Holland and this
73
whole area, you know better than anyone else what manner of priest, what manner of citizen, what manner of friend and neighbor the Redemptorist Father has been among you, day in and day out. And I know you join with me today as I make public and grateful acknowledgment of the enlightened and devoted leadership of the Redemptorists, culminating now in the establishment of this admirable parish school .
"It is obviously appropriate that the dedicatory address on this occasion is given by our dear friend, Father Tobin. As you, my people, well know, it is his vision and practical measures, in the first place, that account for the existence of this parish school. To so very many of us, he has been both friend and benefactor that he surely must know how welcome back he is today to join in our rejoicing.
"When duty called Father Tobin elsewhere, Father Provincial was quick to see our special need and answered it abundantly, as you know, in the person of Father Newell. To have a man so experienced with temporalities and building was a veri- table god-send, and I can tell you that if ever a building operation was studied and watched with meticulous regard for detail it was this school under the supervision of Father Newell. He is a happy man today, and well deserving of the thanks and con- gratulations we extend to him and his Redemptorists brethren.
"All of us, Bishop, priests, people and pupils, are united today in greeting Mother Provincial and the Bernardine Sisters and welcoming them to another school in our diocese. The example, the influence and the professional skill of the Sisters are already showing their wholesome effects in the 126 children now in attendance here. As I thank the Bernardine Sisters for accepting the teaching responsibilities of this school, I predict that they will quickly find their way to the hearts of parent and pupil alike.
"The greatest praise of all as well as congratulations, I express to you, my pre- cious flock of this area. For, without your high sense of responsibility for the children God gives into your keeping, without your sterling Catholic faith, without the piling of sacrifice upon sacrifice, by which your supernatural faith in Jesus Christ has proven and is proving itself, no Bishop or priest could ever bring about the religious and patri- otic institution which proudly stands here today .
"We can inspire you to such good works, we can encourage you, we can lead and direct you, but in you the faith and understanding must be there, the love of God
74
and country must be there, the sacrificing heart and hand must be there. And there you have the blessed formula which has produced the handsome school of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, as it has produced every one of our religious schools, elementary and secondary.
"God bless you, then, my loyal people of Ephrata, Lititz and New Holland and the whole parish. God reward and give back to you a hundredfold the many sac- rifices you have made, and still must make before you can call this handsome school your very own. I am proud of you today. Indeed, the whole diocese is proud of you and of the Redemptorist Fathers who have guided you in this magnificent achievement. "
Mr. Edward D. Pierce was caretaker of the mission grounds from 1932 until his death in 1952. He and his family lived in the gate house at the entrance to the mis- sion grounds. When the church was built in 1940, the Pierce family moved next to the church and acted as custodians of the church until the Sisters came in 1957 and took over the task as sacristans.
HOME STRETCH CLARE-POINT FARM
EPHRATA, PA.
During the past fifty years, many different priests and brothers were stationed at St. Clement's Mission House and worked in the home parish and in the two out-mis- sions. Only a few have been mentioned in this account. Most of those who have not been mentioned are already in eternity enjoying the blessed vision of God in reward for what they did to please Him in this life. It means absolutely nothing to them now whether they are remembered or forgotten on earth. Those who are still on earth, still struggling to attain the Beatific Vision, will have to pardon us for not mentioning them by name for what they did while they were here. We who benefit by what they did in the past, remember them in our prayers where remembrance counts most, even though we do not mention them by name.
What has been related here in this souvenir booklet is only an outline of past his- tory. It will serve to recall events long since forgotten and bring to memory many happy, and perhaps a few unfortunate events of the past. Everything, whether pleas- ant or unpleasant, can now be used to bring us all closer to God and bind us more firmly together as children of God.

The manuscript for this outline history was given to the printer at the beginning of September this year. Four months prior to that on May 5th, I suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, or stroke, which seriously interfered with the research necessary for the final revision of the text.
I am most grateful to God and to the expert medical supervision for my extraor- dinary recovery, which is still continuing, but I must beg your kind indulgence for obvious omissions in this Jubilee brochure and your charitable pardon for any inaccu- racies you may discover.
To all who helped us in any way on this joyful occasion of our Golden Jubilee we give our sincere thanks and, with grateful hearts, we offer a fervent :-
GOD BLESS YOU, NOW AND ALWAYS!

Baptisms and Marriages (1914-1964) Present Parish Statistics (January 1, 1964) List of Rectors and Pastors (1914-1964)
BAPTISMS AND MARRIAGES (1914-1964)
Among the records that every parish must keep are records of baptisms and mar- riages. These also serve as an index of the growth and vitality of a parish. We hereby present a summary of these statistics. It is interesting to note that the number of bap- tisms during the past ten years is greater than the number in the first forty years com- bined. It should also be noticed that the number of the baptisms during the past ten years is far greater than that of marriages, proportionally considered, which is another proof that couples already married elsewhere are being attracted to the "Garden Spot of America". The statistics are given in ten year periods.
