Loretto Chapel -1924 - El Paso, Texas
Loretto Chapel Dedication - Bishop Schuler in 1924. The first bishop of El Paso, Bishop Schuler, was named in 1915. He was a great supporter of the educational movement begun by the Sisters of Loretto and knew there was now inadequate space in the St. Joseph's Academy building. He and Mother Praxedes Carty, the dynamo behind the construction of Loretto Academy, became good friends. She had been Superior General of the Sisters of Loretto before her appointment to El Paso in 1922 as local superior. She was well known as a builder from the very beginning of her career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretto_Academy_%28El_Paso,_Texas%29
