DOMINICAN ORDER
DOMINICAN ORDER. Also known as the "Order of Preachers" because the order was founded as a preaching order, the Dominican Order's history in Dubuque began with Father Samuel MAZZUCHELLI. When Bishop Mathias LORAS wanted to establish a seminary, Father Mazzuchelli wanted to teach in it. Working together led to the founding of St. Raphael's Seminary in a small building behind the cathedral. Years were spent attempting to fulfill the dream of Loras. It fell to Archbishop Henry P. ROHLMAN, however, to establish MOUNT ST. BERNARD SEMINARY to which the Dominicans were asked to serve as faculty. The Dominicans also returned to provide a home and school for the student theologians who belonged to the Midwest Province of St. Albert. This became ST. ROSE OF LIMA HOUSE OF STUDIES and finally St. Rose Priory. (1)
