Edward Sorin [SEP] Later years
Sorin was elected superior-general of his order in 1868, and held this office for the rest of his life. During his tenure as Superior General, Fr. Sorin made around 50 voyages across the Atlantic to deal with the affairs of the Congregation in France and Rome. He was invited to attend the Plenary Council of American Bishops at Baltimore in 1884. Cardinal Gibbons, two other archbishops, and 12 bishops attended his golden jubilee celebration in 1888. In recognition of his work in education, the French Government conferred upon him the insignia of Officer of Public Instruction (1888). Soon after the celebration of his sacerdotal golden jubilee (the same year), Sorin entered into a long period of mental and physical suffering.
