• Notes

  http://maxkade.iupui.edu/springer/ch7/ch7_p1.html Before the arrival of Boniface Wimmer and his small group of German Benedictines from Bavaria in 1846, the Redemptorists had sent members of their religious order to Philadelphia and Baltimore. Once established in these two cities, they set up small colonies for German Catholic immigrants in the interior of Pennsylvania. One such colony was St. Mary's of Elk County in north- central Pennsylvania. The site was originally called Marienstadt, which later became Saint Marystown and then Saint Mary's. In December of 1842 a small group of German Catholics arrived there to build log houses as their future homes. It is believed that at that time advertisements in Munich newspapers portrayed the original colony of St. Mary's as a busy city with ships lining up at its wharf.[5] Today we would call such a portrayal the epitome of false advertising, since there is no water to be found in that part of Pennsylvania. A few years later the Redemptorists arranged for Sisters of Notre Dame to provide instruction for the children of St. Mary's settlers. The women arrived in 1847. However, the Redemptorists and the Sisters departed two years later, at which time the parish was entrusted to the Benedictines of St. Vincent in Latrobe through a decree by Bishop O'Connor of the Pittsburgh Diocese. St. Vincent's abbot Boniface Wimmer in turn brought a small number of German Benedictine nuns from St. Walburg in Eichstaett, Bavaria, to Marienstadt in 1852. After their arrival, a handsome Neo-Gothic brick church with a single spire was constructed and consecrated in 1869.[6] The church interior is a wonderful example of the efforts by German-American church artists to create a place of great beauty, where God's presence could be felt through the visual representation of biblical themes and Catholic dogma. figure 97St. Mary's church history notes that the main altar was designed and placed in the sanctuary in 1866 by Cosmas Wolf and members of the Covington Altar Building Stock Company.[7] Ten years later the German-American artist Wilhelm Lamprecht painted the Immaculate Conception on this altar
