A third plan that will help imple- ment and enforce the provisions of both was laid out for the rst time on Tuesday night. The third component of the plan- ning process for the transformation of the city’s 305-acre waterfront site is an update of the Lynn Municipal Harbor Plan, which was approved by the state in 2010 and expires af- ter a decade. The plan, subject to state approv- al, was presented before a roomful of residents and elected of cials at ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK Lynn Housing Authority & Neigh- borhood Development.

When 2020 began it seemed like it was going to be a great year. However, all that changed quickly and so many will remember 2020 as the year of the Coronavirus Pandemic. I do not think anyone could have predicted something like this would ever happen in modern times. By mid-year many of us were sheltering in place, wearing masks, and trying to keep our families healthy. While many of us will remember the challenging times that we faced, we are happy to report that at the Catholic Foundation we faced many of these challenges and turned them into accom- plishments. We set up our home offices and began a new routine. We quickly learned how to set up zoom meetings so we could communicate with our donors and we began to re-envision our events like our annual Bishop’s Cup. I would like to thank all our donors. Because of your support we were able to meet our membership goal. As you know, it is through our membership donations that we can operate the Foundation office, so we do not have to charge management fees to each of our trust.

  • Epiphany 125Th Anniversary Book
    History of Epiphany Parish, Sayre Pennsylvania! When Father John Costello was made Pastor of Holy Ghost Church at Athens in 1875, I don’t think he had any idea how much his parish would grow and expand during his 24 year stay in the “Valley.” Holy Ghost Parish included all of Athens Township. What is Sayre today was then Pine Plains, a section of the township, and what became South Waverly was Athens Township. The parish also included Ridgebury and Windham. Father Costello was 28 years old as he began his fruitful success here. In 1878 Sayre became the division headquarters for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Two years later, the population stood at 800. The repair facility for the Lehigh continued to grow and by 1890 the population had grown to 3,200. With this growth came many immigrants from Ireland, Italy and Eastern Europe, many of them having strong ties to the Roman Catholic faith. And so begins the history of Epiphany Parish in Sayre. On Sunday May 12, 1888 Father John J. Costello, pastor of Holy Ghost Parish in Athens, met with his growing congregation in Sayre at the school house. It was decided to break ground for a new church in Sayre. H. J. Baldwin, of Waverly was hired as the contractor and work on the new church began. Construction seemed to move along rapidly. Three churches were being built in Sayre in 1888, Epiphany, Church of the Redeemer, and the Baptist Church. The corner-stone for the new church was laid on Sunday August 19, 1888.
