The story of early years on the shores of St. Louis Hay is largely a story of the activities of Father B iteux, French by birth, who was the first pastor of the parish. On one occasion, returning from France, he was shipwrecked. Attributing his escape from harm to miraculous intervention, he set up and dedicated to the Virgin Mary the Shrine of Our I,ady of the Woods. Ask locally to be directed to this interesting shrine.
On the waterfront is Our Lady of the (iulf Church. The structure is in the Italian Renaissance style. The beautiful stained glass windows were done in (iermany for this churl'll. Adjoining the church is St. Joseph’s Academy (also in the Italian Renaissance style), a Catholic school for girls. West of the church, and completing the group, is St. Stanislaus College, a school for boys directed by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Located on a spacious tampus, the five buildings of the college are Romanesque in design. Many of the students come from Latin American countries.
