"This year two were ordained priests… In addition, we have 24 clerics, i.e. students in philosophy and theology. Three of them will be ordained this year; the others, next year and the following year….We have some 20 scholastics. As a result, I have no need for a new generation, though I am always in need of money."—Boniface Wimmer, letter written on this day in 1860 (Letters of An American Abbot, page 234).
