History of St. Joseph Parish, Central Falls, RI History of St. Joseph Parish, Central Falls, RI. Golden Jubilee of St. Joseph Parish, Central Falls, RI. CAP at Orchard Lake. It was at the close of the 19th century, at a time when the weaving industry in New England began to prosper, that the Polish people were attracted to Central Falls, Valley Falls, Pawtucket and other vicinities in the state of Rhode Island. The first Polish people came to Central Falls and settled in the vicinity of High Street. Since no Church was available for their use, they found it necessary to attend services on Sundays and special Feast days in neighboring Churches and others, who were in a position to do so, traveled as far as St. Adalbert's in Providence to fulfill their spiritual obligations. Occasionally the people would be visited by Father Duczmal from Providence, who would try to attend to what- ever spiritual needs were necessary. The colony grew rapidly. On November 11, 1900, the Polish people organized themselves into "St. Joseph's Brotherly Aid Society." In this Society it was suggested that a parish be organized. With this aim in mind a special committee was selected, headed by Szczepan Pokraka. The Most Reverend Matthew Harkins, Bishop of Providence at that time, accepted the petition of the Society and con- ceded to assist them in organizing a parish, requesting simultaneously a census to be taken of all the Polish people in this vicinity. The results of this census indicated that there were two hundred Polish families in the vicinity of Central Falls. Pawtucket and Valley Falls. Actual organization of the new parishwas entrusted to Rev. Francis Kiuger. Rev. Francis Kluger was born on April 22, 1880, in Siemianowice, Gorny Slask, Poland. He received his elementary education in the local schools; his college and Philosophy courses in Italy; his Theo- logical courses in the American College of Louvain, Belgium. He was ordained to the Priesthood on June 28, 1905. In August of that year he arrived in Providence and was assigned by the Most Rev. Bishop Harkins to organize a parish in Quidnick (West Warwick) R. I. His work in Quidnick lasted for only fifteen months and he was assigned to Central Falls for the purpose of organizing a parish here. Rev. Dr. Marion Nowicki replaced Fr. Kluger in Quidnick. St. Joseph's Parish of Central Falls was organized and became a legal Corporation on Dec. 6, 1906. The first Trustees were Jan Rzepiela and Jan Bozek. There was no parish house and no parish Church. For two years Fr. Kiuger made his residence on 60 Cross Street, Central Falls. The difficult task of parish organization began. The. Polish people frequently assembled for their Services in the hail of Sacred Heart Church in Pawtucket. In March 1907 Fr. Kiuger purchased a wooden building on High Street known as Temperance Hall. It was theatrical in structure with an upper balcony. The cost of purchasing and renovation amounted to approximately $10,000. St. Joseph, who was the Patron 1 of the Brotherly Aid Society, became the Patron Saint of the Church and Parish: In the basement of the church a school was opened. Three teachers staffed the school: an elderly lady whose name is unknown, an organist, Mr. Krawczyk, and the pastor, Fr. Kluger. In 1909 Fr. Kluger purchased a beautiful building on 353 High Street and designated that to be used as a Rectory. Today this building forms part of the present school. The parish grew rapidly and the Church became much too small to accommodate all its worship- pers. In 1915 land was purchased on Clay Street with the Most Rev. Bishop's permission to build a new brick Church at a cost of $45,000. The building of a new Church was hurried by a fire which broke out shortly after midnight on Easter Monday, caused by a boiler explosion, which destroyed the entire wooden structure. Services now were conducted in the Church hall of St. Basil's Church on Broad Street, Central Falls. The new building project was swift, since the following Easter all services were taking place in the church hall of the new Church. The main Altar, still found in the Church today, was purchased from Holy Trinity Church in Central Falls. The new Church, of Gothic structure, is large and beautiful. The unique front makes it very impressive. The gracious steeple which was the admiration of many, was built by Fr. Malecki and was destroyed during the 1954 hurricane. Rev. Fr. Kluger conducted the new church building project alone. In 1916 he was assisted for only several months by Rev. Peter Switala. In November 1917 Fr. Kiuger was transferred to St. Mary's Parish in Quidnick as Pastor. The second Pastor was Rev. Lawrence Malecki, born July 14, 1882, in Franklin, Pennsylvania. His early education was obtained in LaSalle, Illinois; College and Theological Studies at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary (at that time) in Detroit, MI. In 1910 he was ordained a Priest and worked in Fall River, Massachusetts, Quidnick (West Warwick) RI and then was appointed Pastor of St. Joseph's Parish in Central Falls. The parish debt amounted to $56,000.00 at that time. Father Malecki, through his amiable disposi- tion, priestly life and charity, gained the confidence and cooperation of all his parishioners. The times during that period were considered good and the church building project was nearing completion. Solemn blessing of the Church took place on July 6, 1919, by Most Reverend Bishop Hickey, coad- jutor of the diocese, in the presence of Rt. Rev. Msgr. Peter Blessing, diocesan vicar-general, and a large representation of the clergy from Central Falls and vicinities. The program commenced with a procession of Church and Civil organizations through High Street to Main Street, Pawtucket, where Bishop Hickey was met, greeted and led to the Church. On that same day the Most Reverend Bishop administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to a group of 450 children. After the Sacrament of Confirmation was administered, Bishop Hickey, in an eloquent sermon, encouraged the faithful to acquaint themselves with the American language, customs and institutions, simultaneously preserving their beautiful national traditions and language. A thought indeed noble, practical and worthy of every consideration in our present day. The parochial school, which was located in the parish hall at that time, welcomed graciously the 2 arrival of the four Bernardine Sisters from Reading, Pennsylvania, in the Fall of 1918. From that time on the Bernardine Sisters have staffed the school. For three years the Sisters resided in a rented house near the church. In 1921 the Rev. Pastor purchased a home on 339 High Street and renovated it for convent dwelling and purposes. That same year a house on 355 High Street was bought and became a new rectory site, whereas the former rectory was converted to a school. In the Fall of 1921 a new and proper additional wing was added to the former rectory, thus making that building a renovated and well-constructed school for the children at a cost of $27000. In February 1925 the interior of the Church was painted. The decorations were beautiful, rich in color and the painted pictures of high artistic calibre still remain untouched and in their original status, constantly admired by all the visitors, irregardless from where they may come. The chande- liers were imported from Poland by Father Malecki and donated to the parish by the Rosary Society. In 1931 the Silver jubilee of the parish was observed. The parochial status at that time was con- sidered very good spiritually as well as materially. The parishioners now rejoiced with a beautiful church, a convenient and spacious school, a convent and a rectory. The parishioners of St. Joseph's were indeed grateful to Father Malecki for his zealous and untiring efforts. The manifold blessings of Almighty God and the unending generosity of the parishioners brought a dream long desired to reality. The following priests have assisted Fr. Lawrence' Malecki in his pastoral duties: Rev. W. Kapturk- iewicz, Rev. B. S. Rosiak, Rev. F. Wilk, Rev. W. Rozpad, Rev. J. Szymczyk, Rev. J. Borek. Other priests, who assisted occasionally, were Rev. Jastroch, Rev. Kaszynski, Rev. Dr. Rolbiecki and Rev. Tyzynski. Father Malecki rejoiced with a good and healthy life, however, shortly before his death he began to fail rapidly. On July 4, 1934, at the age of 52-24 years of his priestly life terminated he was called by his Divine Master. He was buried in St. Leon's Cemetery in Pound, WI. His successor was Rev. Peter Switala. Rev. Peter Switala was born August 2, 1883, in Jaskolki, Poznan, Poland. He received his early ed- ucation in Jaskolki and his high school education in a German High School in Ostrowo, Poland; his philosophy course in Petit Seminaire, St. Trond and theology in the American College of Louvain, Belgium. He was ordained to the priesthood on July 8, 1908. Immediately after ordinations he came to America and began his priestly duties in Warren, RI, later in Central Falls and Woonsocket. In 1920 he was appointed Pastor of St. Adalbert's, Providence. In 1934, upon the death of Fr. Malecki, he was assigned to St. Joseph's Church, Central Falls, as Pastor. The new pastor planned to build a parish auditorium and make proper renovations to the parish buildings. Difficult economic conditions prevented Fr. Switala from fulfilling his plans. The great depression curbed material prosperity of the parish for many years. The beautiful church was in need of a new organ. In 1938 an organ, valued at $15,000.00, was purchased and shortly after installation the blessing of the new organ took place.

  • 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.

  • St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, Woonsocket, RI
    St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, Woonsocket, RI. Diamond Jubilee 1905-1980 St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Woonsocket, RI. CAP at Orchard Lake. With the discovery of America, missionaries joined the explorers in order to convert the "heathen" savage from his pagan ways. The attempts at Christianizing the Indians were successful in many instances, but, at times, the missionary fell upon persecution. As in Roman times, the Christian suffered under the persecutions; so too, did the early American-monk suffer and shed his blood in preaching the Gospels. As evidence, one only has to remember the North-American Martyrs, honored at Auriesville, New York. But even with adversity and suffering, the "seeds" of God's Word were nurtured. As the colonies established themselves, many of the boundaries were drawn on religious grounds. Not being able to practice their beliefs in Europe, ousted sects colonized different areas, i.e., the Pilgrims In Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Dutch Reformists in New York Colony, the Quakers in Pennsylvania Colony, the Catholics in Maryland Colony, to name a few. Some colonies allowed a blending of religious freedoms within their boundaries. One such colony was Rhode Island. Rhode Island, in the charter set up by Roger Williams, provided a freedom in religious "discernment". His ideals were for a religious freedom which would allow all religions to practice their rites without fear of oppression. But with many idealistic philosophies, there are those who want to alter the intent. With the Charter of 1715, the hope of Roger Williams, to provide religious freedom, came to mere words. For it decreed that all religious denominations were welcomed to the colony of Rhode Island "except Roman Catholics".

  • Assumption Bvm Church, Providence, R.I
    ASSUMPTION BVM CHURCH, PROVIDENCE, R.I. OUR PARISH HISTORY 1870-2018 January 1870 Catholics in the Elmwood neighborhood petition Bishop Francis McFarland of Hartford for a church in this area. Congregations at St. Michael’s on Oxford Street and St. Mary’s on Broadway were increasing dramatically and the district between the two was becoming thickly settled. There had long been talk of the formation of a new parish to reduce the overflow in the South Providence and Olneyville churches and to afford greater convenience to those who resided in the Elmwood area of the city. The impressive growth of Elmwood and the West End was a reflection of the development of Providence as an industrial and commercial center. A number of manufacturing establishments moved into the area west of Elmwood Avenue. The most prominent were cotton mills, jewelry manufacturers, and companies such as the Gorham Manufacturing Company on Adelaide Avenue, which made silverware and other goods from precious metals. At this time, Elmwood was an expanding middle and upper- middle class residential area that stretched along Elmwood and Potters Avenues, and Public, Stanwood, Bucklin, Greenwich and Madison Streets. A young assistant pastor from St. Michael’s by the name of Father Michael Clune saw the need and collected the necessary funds from people in the neighborhood to buy a site and erect a temporary structure. The site purchased by Father Clune was on Linwood Avenue but was ultimately rejected as the site of the Church by the Vicar General of the Diocese of Hartford, Father Hughes. It was Father Hughes himself who in April 1870 negotiated the purchase of the lot of land on which the present church and rectory now stand.

The entirety of this month is dedicated to raising money and increasing awareness of the disease, as well as honoring all those who have been affected by it. Throughout the month, many of the athletic teams will be contributing to the cause and raising awareness around campus. The Providence College Field Hockey Team will be holding a Pink Out game on Sunday, October 23 against Boston College. When asked what makes this game different than a regular game, goaltender Megan Guilbert ’18 said, “The Pink Out game is different for us because we are fundraising money for a breast cancer foundation and we have signs hung up around the field of who donated to the cause. We also wear pink in our uniforms and we wear a different shirt to warm up in.” “I don’t think the cause is extra pressure for the team, but more of an honor to play for something that is bigger than ourselves,” Guilbert noted. “To see the Friar Family come together for this cause is moving and special. It is very important for all those in the Friar Family to know they are not alone fighting their battle, whether they are directly affected by it or someone they know and love is.“ Providence College’s Softball Team will be participating in the American Cancer Society’s 2016 Making Strides Walk on Oct.

  • In the Beginning
    IN THE BEGINNING... Providence College and St. Pius Church were, from the start, joined in the mind of Bishop Matthew Harkins, D.D., Bishop of Providence. Aft er thirty years as shepherd of the diocese of Providence, he believed the time was right to turn his attention to this undertaking. He foresaw the greatest project of his episcopacy to be a seat of learning and a parish for preaching. In 1913 the Diocese of Providence bought 17 acres in the Elmhurst section, a large enough area for ten buildings. Th e initial fundraising was led by Bishop Harkins himself and over $300,000 was raised from parishes throughout the state, enough for Bishop Matthew Harkins the fi rst classroom building and dormitories. With other large donations following from prominent laypeople and from the Bishop himself, the college could start life debt-free in its fi rst year of operations. In 1916, construction of the college began. Bishop Harkins invited the Very Rev. Raymond Meagher, O.P., Provincial of the Province of St. Joseph, to send his friars to what was to be Providence College. Th eir mission was to teach and to preach. Th e preaching would benefi t a new parish to be carved out of three existing parishes in the northwest area of the city: St. Patrick’s, Blessed Sacrament, and St. Edward’s. Father Meagher agreed and construction continued. Th e college was originally scheduled to open in September of 1917. However, as the nation entered the Great War in April 1917, young men were now in training camps and off to fi ght in the war.
