 The Bishop began the work of reconstruction two months after the fire.Through the financial support of the priests and the faithful of the Diocese, as well as of Bishop Rooker's many friends in America, and through a substantial financial aid from Pope Pius X, three fifths of the building was completed in less than a year.The space was already sufficient to house one hundred interns that, by 17 September 1907, a solemn inauguration of the new building was done.
