	~~With~~ the ~~closing of [[MOUNT ST~~. ~~BERNARD SEMINARY]] where~~ the ~~Brothers had been given~~ a ~~novitate~~, they ~~discontinued their work~~. ~~During~~ the ~~[[CIVIL WAR]]~~, ~~boys~~ who ~~had not received their First Communion~~ were ~~instructed by the [[SISTERS OF CHARITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (BVM)]]. In 1865~~ the ~~boys' school~~ of ~~two rooms containing fifty boys each~~ was ~~taught by two laywomen~~. (4)		The Brothers bought a 261 acre farm for $6 an acre at auction. The property was adjacent to the seminary farm. It was four miles from Dubuque. The Brothers intended to establish a novitiate there if the congregation were to be expelled from France which was a real fear at the time. They did not establish a novitiate at New Paradise Grove, the name they gave to the property which was adjacent to the bishop's farm. When the seminary closed, the Brothers who were seven on the farm left in April of 1860 since it was too difficult for them to get to daily Mass. (4)

	~~The building of a boys' school behind~~ [[~~ST. RAPHAEL'S CATHEDRAL~~]] ~~was started in the late 1860s~~ by ~~Father O'Reilly. From then until 1884~~ the ~~Christian Brothers of St~~. ~~Louis were in charge of~~ the school~~. After 1884 the Sisters~~ of ~~Charity, BVM instructed~~ boys ~~and girls at the cathedral school~~.

A teacher-aid program was started~~ in ~~September, 1963. The same year a~~ school ~~lunch program was begun~~. ~~Enrollment~~, ~~however, decreased from a peak of 500 to 278 in 1965 being~~ instructed ~~by seven Sisters~~ and ~~two lay teachers. By the late 1980s~~ the school ~~had been closed and the building converted into a physical fitness center~~. (6)		The building of a boys' school behind [[ST.

The most recent St. Raphael's School was constructed at Emmett and Bluff in 1904. Although the oldest school in the archdiocese, St. Raphael's kept up with current educational theory. A teacher-aid program was started in September, 1963. The same year a school lunch program was begun. Enrollment, however, decreased from a peak of 500 to 278 in 1965 being instructed by seven Sisters and two lay teachers. By the late 1980s the school had been closed and the building converted into a physical fitness center.
