[From page after Dedication Page]. In April, 1903, was solemnly celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Redemptorists' settlement in Annapolis. It was then that they came into possession of the time-honored Mansion belonging to the last surviving Signer of tlie Declaration of Independence, the venerable Charies Carroll of Carrollton. The history of these fifty years is replete with interest to the general public, but particularly to the Catholics of Annapolis and the friends of the Redemptorist Fathers throughout the country. Besides the religious and domestic history of the Redemptorist Community at Annapolis and their various missionary labors, the gradual development of Catholicity in the Capital of Maryland is treated in this work. At the end of the work the reader will find, also, short biographical sketches of the deceased Superiors of the Community and all who closed their earthly career in the sacred precincts of St. Mary?s Redemptorist convent.
