Mother Maddalena and her companions left the Sisters of Mercy and moved to their new home. In the evening the Rev. Fr. Quinn, of the Church of the Holy Family, came to bless the house. A little Altar had been erected in a small room behind the parlor. Here the Sisters assembled to say their office and perform their other devotions. September 28th, they were visited by the Bishop, accompanied by Fr. Quinn. Seeing the little oratory, he told Fr. Quinn to get everything ready for the celebration of Holy Mass and the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament. When Mr.[John] Creighton heard of it, he at once had a larger table put up. The Bishop sent a tabernacle, used at the Cathedral during Holy week; Fr. Quinn sent a crucifix; and by October 4th, the feast of the holy Patriarch, S. Francis, everything was in readiness for the first Mass in their new little home. What a beautiful day on which to have their first Mass ! How they thanked their dear Lord that day in Holy Communion for all His tender mercies towards them! How they begged of Him to fill them with the true spirit of their Seraphic Father S. Francis ! How happy they now felt to have their dear Lord constantly residing with them in their humble oratory ! With what fervor and earnestness they tried to pray before His Divine Presence !
