Title

"First School After Enlargement"

Subject

Early Catholic Populations

Description

This is the first school to be associated with St. Mary's. Before the large changes in Catholic practice brought by Vatican II in the 1960's, the Vatican mandated that services be executed in Latin. Given the demographics and social histories of those who commonly came to Wooster in its early years, this was not necessarily true of Wooster's Catholic community. The Catholic school then, if not vital for teaching young worshipers Latin, served as a free school for poorer citizens before the dawn of public schools.
