To wish to remain cramped up in the old days, and in the habits and spirit that ruled them, is to bring our efforts to nothing. So embrace the new order with openness and simplicity and bring the Gospel spirit to it, we will sanctify the world and the world will join us.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, X, 151, 1848.
Vouloir se cramponner au vieux temps, et rester dans les habitudes et l’esprit qui régnait alors, c’est rendre nos efforts nuls. Embrassons donc avec franchise et simplicité l’ordre nouveau et apportons-y l’esprit de l’Évangile, nous sanctifierons le monde et le monde s’attachera à nous.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, X, 151, 1848.
Querer agarrar-se aos velhos tempos, permanecer nos hábitos e no espírito que reinava outrora, é tornar nulos os nossos esforços. Abracemos então com franqueza e simplicidade a ordem nova, metamos nela o espírito do Evangelho, santificaremos o mundo e o mundo se unirá a nós.
Francisco Libermann
Cf. Notas e Documentos, X, 151, 1848.
The aim of M. des Places and his successors in establishing the Seminaire du Saint-Esprit is to train priests who are hardworking, capable and unselfish, ready to fill the most difficult and the least sought-after jobs- for example, hospitals, small country parishes, missions in France, in the colonies of the Kingdom and elsewhere, running seminaries, directing sisters and other similar work.
Pierre Thomas, Memoires, c 1730
1878 U.S.A.
Fr. Strub obtains a property of 900 square miles near Morrilton, Arkansas. A brothers' community is opened and confreres build schools and churches throughout the region. The project comes to a halt in 1892 because of persistent tempests.

First mass in Nairobi at the new Railway Station. Beginning of Holy Family Parish. Foundation of St. Austin's Mission and the first planting of commercially successful coffee in Kenya (Vicariat Apostolic of North Zanguebar).
1917 Ireland
The Faculty of Philosophy is transferred to St Mary's College, Rathmines. The Provincialate also transfers to this location. The faculty of Theology of Irish aspirants, until this year housed in Chevilly, is opened in Kimmage Manor with 29 students.
La fin que M. des Places et ceux qui lui ont succédé se sont proposés en établissant le Séminaire du Saint-Esprit est d’élever des ecclésiastiques laborieux, capables et désintéressés, qui soient prêts à remplir volontiers les emplois les plus pénibles et les moins recherchés tels que la desserte des hôpitaux, les vicariats et les petites cures de la campagne, les Missions en France, dans les colonies du royaume et ailleurs, la direction des séminaires, la régence dans les villes de province, la direction des religieuses et autres emplois semblables.
Pierre Thomas, Mémoire, vers 1730

O fim que M. des Places e os que lhe sucederam se propuseram ao fundar o Seminário do Espírito Santo é instruir eclesiásticos laboriosos, capazes e desinteressados, que estejam prontos para realizar os trabalhos mais difíceis e os menos procurados, tais como o serviço dos hospitais, os vicariatos e as paróquias pequenas das aldeias, as Missões em França, nas colónias do reino e noutro lugar, a direcção dos seminários, o governo nas cidades de província, a direcção das religiosas e outros trabalhos semelhantes.
