History of the Diocese of Syracuse HISTORY OF THE DIOCESE OF SYRACUSE ESTABLISHED 1886 WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE llT. llEV. MGll. J. S. M. LYNCH, S. T. D., M. R. STORY OF THE PARISHES 1615----1909 Edited by WILLIAM P.H. HEWITT 1909 Set Up and Printed at the CATHOLIC SUN PRESS. SYRACUSE. N. Y. WM. P. H. HEWITT. Publisher. COPYRIGHTSD. I 909. BY WM. P. H. HEWITT INTRODUCTION BY RIGHT REVEREND MGR. JAMES s. M. LYNCH, s. T. D., M. R. N the following pages an att~mpt is made to place on record . for the future historian, a few facts touching the origin I and. growth of the various parishes in the Diocese of Syra- . cuse. This diocese, although the last, chronologically considered, of the seven dioceses into which the State is divided, covers a ter-.. ritory where the Catholic Church in the State of New York and even in the United States saw its :first beginnin~ Geographically it occupies the very center of the Empire State., and the Epis­ copal See is located in what is called the Central City. Frequent efforts, indeed, have been made from time to time to transfer the. capital from Albany to Syracuse, as the most natural and co~~ venient location, on account of itS' c.entral position. At the east­ e~ end of the diocese ends that magnificent l\lohawk Valley, which stretches out from Schenectady for a distance of seventy or eighty miles-a valley hallowed by religious and historical traditions and presenting such a charming and picturesque p~o-. ram.a as to make it celebrated throughout the whole country, if. not throughout the world. At its northern boundary sta~ds the gate of the famous. Adirondack Wilderness, or North Woods, which illustrious physicians look upon as the future sanit.arium of the world. In its northwest cor~er. flows Ontario, bearing on its bosom the mighty waters of_ all the Great Lakes, -washing the shores of the diocese for a little ways, and then emptying into the magnificent St. Lawrence and ~ircling through the famous Thou-_ . sa,;n_d Islands, and dashing in rapids after rapids on its way to the sea. The Erie Canal1 .that great artery of commerce, pierces the diocese from one end to the other and the thousand-ton b~ge_" 6 DIOCESE OF SYRACUSE. canal, which is now ™ing built, will link its beautiful inland l~kes, Oneida and Onondaga, with the artificial trench and facili­ tate the means of communication between the different parts of the diocese. Its network of railroads binds still more closely the seven counties into which the diocese is divided. From a patriotic standpoint· the diocese glories in the fact that the millions of travelers that p~ year· by year from the metropo­ lis of the country to the great West, have pointed out to them within its territory -~ .they speed by, the memorial shaft that marks the site of the Battle of Oriskany-that decisive conflict in our Revolutionary War. A little farther on is the site of Fort Stanwix, almost on the very spot where $t. Peter's Church, Rome, now stands and there they see the tablet ·which keeps in memory the place where the Stars and Stripes were for the first _time, in our revolutionary struggle, flaunted in the face of the enemy. Oswego, too, is replete with interest to the student of Ameri­ can history. Always coveted as a v~ntage ground, it played a most import.ant part, especially in the French and Indian war and King George's war, and its capture by General Montcalm in the· former, and 3.ocrain by the British in ·the War of 1812 were events of no ordinary importance. Its good harbor was always an attraction to the combatants, and the peaceful lake that flows so harmlessly by the Flour City to-day was the theater of most decisive and important naval maneouvers a century ago. At the southern extremity of the diocese, through the beautiful Parlor City, flows the historic Su~uehanna, and ·further on along its banks lies that fertile valley,· the scene of the dreadful mas­ sacre of Wyoming in 1778-tbe crowning infamy of British rule in America-a ·tragedy which ,vas so 'terribly avenged a year later by General Sullivan ·upon t~e Six Nations, who, with some Eng­ lish soldiers, had committed the atrocity. · The lovers -of fiction, too, must come to the Diocese of Syracuse to '' find the Path'' traced out by our great American novelist, in what literary critics place at the head of the '' Leather Stocking Series,'' and what -he himself looked upon as the best of all his works. Here they may visit those shady nooks and quiet spots · made famous by Cooper, albeit "the light ·has broken into the wildemess and the rays of the sun have penetrated to tens of INTRODUCTION. 7 thousands of beautiful valleys and plains; that then lay in· grat~­ ful ·shade.. '' THE CHURCH AMONG THE INDiANS. ,_,here are two distinct periods in tl)e growtl!. ~~ the _Church within the territory comprised within the limJ~ o·f tJ;ie present Diocese of Syracuse. The first is the Mi~ionary period among the Indians. It is a n1atter of history. that this. portion. of the State was first occupied by certain tribe$ of the. ~orth American Indians. It is very probable that these Indians· originally cam~ · from Asia and Tartary a.er~ Bering Straits to America. In the region extending from Albany to the western portion of the State were located five distinct nations, that went ·by the generic name of the Iroquois.. The country of the Iroquois, with its lakes and rivers and forests and plains, was most delightful and attrac­ tive and well adapted for hunting-grounds f~~ this nomadic race. These five tribes were joined together in what was called by the~­ selves and the French '' A Long House,''• and by the English the League of the Five Nations, viz. : The Mohawks, the. Oneid~, the Onondagas, the Senecas and the Cayugas, and. they occupied lands in the order named along the Mohawk River and the four lakes from· which they took their names, tµus holding the water­ ways connecting the Hudson and the Ohio with the Great Lakes. The Iroquois were the craftiest~ most daring and most intelli­ gent-the• bravest, fiercest and most warlike of •all- the North· American Indians. They were called the ''Romans of the New World,'' and though still in the savage .hunter state, they were the terror of every native band east of the Missi~ippi, before the coming of the whites, who· iµ · turn learned to dread their fero­ cious_ power. What is remarkable is that the population of. the entire group wa.~ not over 25,000 ( of whom one-tenth o~ly .were· ,varriors), a comparatively small number eo~idering the active part they played in American history and the control which they exercised through wide tracts of wildern~. Lossµig thus beau­ tifulJy describes this remarkable people : '' The mighty fraction . of. ~he great Republic of the W est-thjs populous, wealthy and . • *The Five Nations proper, eaJled "cabin builders" because of their singular skill in framing houses. gave to the stretch of land oeeupied by them in New York State. the name "long house." the eastern door of whieh was guarded by· the fieree and warlike Mohawks. where the river of the same name empties into the Hudson. while the western door was guarde41- by: the- Senecas.· the most · numerous and skilful .of them all. located on Lake Erie. DIOCESE OF SYRA·cusE. j>o\\•erful State-had its birth two· centuries· and· three-quarters ago on the little island of Mannahatta or Manhattan, lying where the fresh waters of the Hudson River- lovingly commingle with the brine of the Atlantic Ocean.

At .the same time the~ was a ba,rbari~ ~public in· the wi:Jde~ess, simple, pure and powerful; its: capital seated a hundred leagues from the sea, among the beautiful hills and shadowy forests and sunny savannas, within the present domain of. the State of New York. The existence of this republic was unknown to the nations beyond :the Atlantic and unsuspected by them 1µ1til Cartier sailed up . the" St. _Lawrence Riye1:9,. until Champlain penetrated the wil.den;iess of Northern-·New York, and Hudson voyaged up the beautiful river that bears his name, and touched the eastern bor­ der of this marvelous. ampbictyonic league, known in history as 'The Iroquois Confederacy.' : '"'The polity of the lroquois•League was as purely democratic as possible in spirit, but it took the· representative or ·republican form for· convenience. · Each. canton or nation "~as a distinct re­ pnblic1 independent of all others in relation to its domestic af­ fairs, but each was bound to· the others of the league by ties of honor and general interest.

He had a cabinet ·of six advi~rs, and in the Grand Council he was moderator.'' _Here it should be reeorde<fthat the first chosen president of the ' . league was th~ veµerable Ato-tao-ho, a .famous Onondaga chief.

SCADDING [The foundation stone of an Obelisk to mark the site of the old French fort or trading post at Toronto, was laid on the last day of the Semi-Centennial week, 1884, by the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, assisted by the Mayor of Toronto, A. Boswell, Esq., and J. B. McMurrich, Esq., Chairman of the Semi-Centennial Committee. The following paper, prepared at the request of the Committee, was read on the occasion.] The domain of the Five Nations of the Iroquois, which extended along the whole of the south side of Lake Ontario, was, for a time, regarded, in theory at least, as neutral ground, by the French of New France and the English of New England. But both French and English soon shewed a desire to obtain a foothold there ; first for the purposes of trade, and, secondly, with a view, it cannot be doubted, of ultimate possession by treaty or otherwise. By permission from the neighbouring Aborigines, La Salle, in 1679 ? erected a small stockade at the mouth of the Niagara River, to be simply a receptacle for the peltries brought down from the far West, from Michilimackinac and Detroit, by way of Lake Erie ; which stockade, by 1725 had become the strong, solid fortress which, with some enlargements, we see to-day in good order on the eastern side of the entrance to the world-famous river just named.

  • Archbishop John J. Williams
    Record Group I.06.01 John Joseph Williams Papers, 1852-1907 Introduction & Index Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Content List (A-Z) Subject Index Introduction The John Joseph Williams papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston span the years 1852-1907. The collection consists of original letters and documents from the year that Williams was assigned to what was to become St. Joseph’s parish in the West End of Boston until his death 55 years later. The papers number approximately 815 items and are contained in 282 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in five manuscript boxes. It is probable that the Williams papers were first put into some kind of order in the Archives in the 1930s when Fathers Robert h. Lord, John E. Sexton, and Edward T. Harrington were researching and writing their History of the Archdiocese of Boston, 1604-1943. At this time the original manuscripts held by the Archdiocese were placed individually in folders and arranged chronologically in file cabinets. One cabinet contained original material and another held typescripts, photostats, and other copies of documents held by other Archives that were gathered as part of the research effort. The outside of each folder noted the author and the recipient of the letter. In addition, several letters were sound in another section of the Archives. It is apparent that these letters were placed in the Archives after Lord, Sexton, and Harrington had completed their initial arrangement of manuscripts relating to the history of the Archdiocese of Boston. In preparing this collection of the original Williams material, a calendar was produced.

Every aspect of school life has been disrupted – not least those students who had been preparing for their GCSE’s or ‘A’ level exams. From a Catholic Life point of view we were unable to complete our usual liturgical and prayer services that we had planned for Lent in preparation for the great feast of Easter. However, through the modern technology that we now have we have been able to maintain our links to our families and friends, our school and our church. Praying together as a member of all these groups we belong to has been made possible by the live streaming of mass and other resources for prayer and reflection that have been made available to us. Communication between us can take many forms and I would like to share with you this uplifting blessing for us from those who cannot communicate verbally but use Makaton signing: https://youtu.be/va048-XxFTI As we approach the end of term CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) have produced a National Assembly for all children in our country.

  • Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan
    Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan July 2021 | sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario/ U.S. Department of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Richard W. Spinrad, Ph.D. Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator National Ocean Service Nicole LeBoeuf, Assistant Administrator (Acting) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries John Armor, Director Cover photo: Tibbets Point Lighthouse sits where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River. Photo: Matt McIntosh/NOAA Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to designate a national marine sanctuary to manage a nationally significant collection of shipwrecks and other underwater cultural resources in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands region in upstate New York. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 USC 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 USC 1434), NOAA has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) that considers three alternatives for the proposed national marine sanctuary. In this DEIS, NOAA uses criteria and evaluation standards under the regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508 (1978)) and the NOAA implementing procedures for NEPA (NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A) to evaluate the environmental consequences of each alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, NOAA would not designate a national marine sanctuary in New York. Under Alternative 1, the proposed sanctuary boundary would include 1,786 square miles in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousands Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. Alternative 1 would incorporate 67 known shipwrecks and one aircraft.
