Softcover edition. Completed in 1905, the Saint Vincent Basilica has served as a symbol of the evangelization efforts of Saint Vincent founder Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., for one hundred years. Archabbot Wimmer arrived in Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 1846. It had been his dream to someday build a magnificent church, but construction on the Basilica was not begun until 1891, four years after WimmerÌs death. During his time, efforts were focused on establishing schools, missions and daughter abbeys to serve Roman Catholics throughout the United States. Using modern technology to restore deteriorating images made on glass plate negatives, some of which have never been published, as well as large format photography which captures the BasilicaÌs grandeur, this book pulls together much of the published history of the Basilica and Saint Vincent Parish, and the words of those who witnessed many of the significant periods in the BasilicaÌs history, including the construction and its consecration in 1905. Edited by Kim Metzgar. Contributing authors are Father Brian D. Boosel, O.S.B., Brother Nathan M. Cochran, O.S.B., Father Omer U. Kline, O.S.B., and Father Philip M. Kanfush, O.S.B. Contributing photographers are Kim Metzgar, Bill Metzger and Charles Martin and Emil Kuhar.
