  • Chapter Four the Jesuit Heritage in Eastern Massachusetts

    CHAPTER FOUR THE JESUIT HERITAGE IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS Eastern Massachusetts embraces a population of more than five and a half million people in the counties of Essex, Middle­ sex, Norfolk, Plymouth (except for the towns of Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham) and Suffolk. Slightly more than two million of these people are Catholics of the see of Boston which goes back to 8 April 1808 and which became an archdiocese on 12 February 1875. This chapter will explore the relationship of the Society of Jesus to the development of Catholicism in this section of the Bay State in the early period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the Jesuits were outlawed, in the modern period of the nineteenth century when the Jesuits were accepted, and in the contemporary period of the twentieth century when the Jesuits have proven to be a vital element in the religious and cultural life of eastern Massachusetts. I In the study of the early relationship of the Jesuits to eastern Massachusetts, Plymouth, founded in 1620, Salem, founded in 1626, and Boston, founded in 1630, are important. While each of these settlements had its own governor, all of them were one in their attitude towards the Jesuits. This is illustrated by John Winthrop, founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who declared that a major reason for sailing to New England was "to rayse a bulwarke against the kingdom of Antichrist which the Jesuits labour to reare vp in all places of the worlde." And, since the charter of Massachusetts incorpor­ ated oaths of supremacy and allegiance with their anti-Jesuit overtones, it is clear that the founding of the Bay State was at least partially prejudiced against the Jesuits.

Chestnut Hill, Mass.: Linden Lane Press at Boston College, c2008 ©Boston College. All rights reserved. An Unfading Quest In this concise and highly readable work, Thomas O’Connor tells the extraordinary story of Boston College. He takes us back to the beginnings ascending the heights of this institution as a small “streetcar” college in the South End of Boston, founded to educate the children of Irish immigrants, and he traces the transformation of Boston College into a major national university. Along the way, O’Connor candidly brings to light the University’s achievements and struggles in the face of religious bigotry in its early days and fi nan- cial near-ruin at more than one critical turn. And, he chronicles Boston College’s unfading quest to achieve the highest standards of academic excellence in both teaching and research. Finally, O’Connor writes about the fresh challenges Boston College has now taken upon itself—to become the preeminent center of liberal arts learning in the United States and the leading Catholic university in the world. A Brief History of Boston College Ascending the Heights is the inspiring story of Boston College, written with an eye to the celebratory year of 2013—the centennial of the University’s arrival in Chestnut Hill and the sesquicentennial of what is now a thriving international Jesuit center of learning.

    Record Group III.G.04 Historical Manuscripts, 1774-1907 Archives, Archdiocese of Boston

    Record Group III.G.04 : Historical Manuscripts. P. 1 Record Group III.G.04 Historical Manuscripts, 1774-1907 Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Table of Contents Introduction Scope and Content Calendar Subject Index Introduction The Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston holds 921 items that have been arranged and described as an historical manuscripts collection. The collection spans the years 1774-1907. It is contained in three manuscript boxes with the exception of nineteen over-size documents that have been placed in a special manuscript box along with those over-size documents relating to the administrations of John L. Cheverus, Benedict J. Fenwick, John B. Fitzpatrick, and John J. Williams. The arrangement of this collection is strictly chronological. The researcher will note that the last item in the collection is dated shortly before William H. O’Connell succeeded John J. Williams to the See of Boston. O’Connell designed a comprehensive administrative system in order to conduct archdiocesan business when he assumed this position. This collection is the predecessor of O’Connell’s bureaucratic system. In other words, this series was once the files of the Chancery. Prior to the creation of the position of Chancellor in 1855, it was simply the files of the Bishop. It is impossible to say how this collection was originally arranged. It was probably first put into some kind of order 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 collection of original documents was arrange chronologically in one file cabinet.
