  • 1 Historya Polska W Ameryce
    Historya Polska w Ameryce - tom XIII 1 2 Historya Polska w Ameryce - tom XIII C.) POLACY W DYECEZYI BUFFALOSKIEJ. Buffalo, Bawoli Gród, opodal słynnego wodospadu Niagary, stał się stolicą biskupią w tym samym r. 1847., co Cleveland. Pierwszym, co zasiadł na tej stolicy, był (1847—G7) Jan Timon; drugim (1868— 96) Stefan Ryan, trzecim zaś od r. 1897—03 był Jakób Quigley. Jego dyecezya obejmuje zachodni cypel Stanu New York, nad kończynami Jezior Erie i Ontario, a na 156,000 katolików liczy 98,300 Polaków, na 215 księży 36 polskich, na 142 kościoły— 21 polskich. W samem mieście Buffalo jest 50 kościołów parafialnych katolickich, między temi 14 angielskich i 14 niemieckich, 7 polskich, l włoski i l francuski. Jest więc prawie tyle kościołów katolickich, co w miastach Cleveland i Plttsburgu, nie ma tylko w Buffalo tak wielkiej mieszaniny narodowości. Polacy liczebnie tu są we większości. Wspołzałożycielem miasta Buffalo był Polak, Jan Stadnicki. Około roku 1786 pewną, część tych ziem nabyli na własność kapitaliści holenderscy, a dołączywszy do nich pas ziemi położony nad jeziorem Erie, a zakupiony od Indyan, poczęli ziemie te kolonizować. Do spółki kapitalistów holenderskich należało, jak to wykazują archiwa stanowe w Albany, stolicy stanu New York, sześciu przedsiębiorców: Wilhelm Willink, Nicholas Van Staphorst, Christian Van Eeger, Jan i Piotr Stadnitski. Spółka ta istniała aż do końca pierwszej połowy 19 wieku i znana jest w historyi miasta Buffalo i York pod nazwa Holland Land Co. Towarzystwo Holland Land Co., nabywszy około r. 1790. grunta położone w zachodniej części stanu New York, przystąpiło do ich parcelacyi i kolonizacyi, a zakupiwszy od Indyan szczepu Seneca, ziemie położone nad jeziorem Erie, założyło w miejscu, w którem już poprzednio istniała osada indyańska, wioskę nazwaną, podobnie jak dzisiejsze miasto New York, Nowym Amsterdamem.

When Bishop Quarter arrived in Chicago in 1844, there was one Catholic Church and two Catholic Priests. With this background, he began to build.

  • History of the Diocese of Providence
    History of the Diocese of Providence The history below was researched and authored by Fr. Robert Hayman, Pastor Emeritus of St. Sebastian Church in Providence. To contact Fr. Hayman, please write: Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul, 30 Fenner Street, Providence, RI 02903. The Beginnings of Catholicism in Rhode Island Rather than observing its 125th anniversary in 1997, the Diocese of Providence might well be observing its 152nd. In 1843, when the Diocese of Boston, which had until then encompassed all of New England, was divided, the Holy See designed Hartford, Connecticut as the see city of the new diocese. The first Bishop of Hartford, the Vermont-born convert, Fr. William Barber Tyler, was a priest of the Diocese of Boston. Shortly after his ordination on March 17, 1844, Bishop Tyler was formally installed as head of the new diocese in Holy Trinity Church, Hartford, on Sunday, April 14, 1844. Hartford at that time had a population of roughly 13,000, of whom between 500 and 600 were adult Catholics, and was centrally located within the new diocese. However, Holy Trinity was burdened with debt and there was little extra revenue to support another priest living in the parish. Providence, on the other hand, had a population of 23,000, of whom over 2,000 were Catholics. There were two churches in the city, SS. Peter and Paul and St. Patrick’s. SS. Peter and Paul was the larger of the two and was debt free. After talking the matter over with Bishop Joseph Fenwick of Boston, Bishop Tyler came over to Providence on the first Sunday of July 1844, and announced to the parishioners of SS.

FENWICK, MAN, AND BISHOP 5 II. BIRTH OF AN IDEA 14 III. FOUNDING OF BENEDICTA 23 IV. PARTIAL FAILURE OF THE ENTERPRISE 33 CONCLUSION 36 INTRODUCTION Much has been said and written concerning the lack of Catholicity in Northern New England. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Catholic traveler could drive miles on its winding dusty roads before reaching a church of his faith to fulfill his Sunday duties. Today, however, few realize that more than one half of the inhabitants of Vermont and New Hampshire are Catholic, and that Catholics constitute about one-third of Maine’s population.1 This increase in Catholic population is indicative of the life and vigor of the present generation. In young America, modern developments are advancing with giant strides in the religious field as well as in many others. True, this life and vigor are characteristic of New England and of America as well. In the nineteenth century, the Catholic Church of New England was still in its embryonic stage, struggling for existence among a hostile and bigoted, almost exclusively Protestant population. Any reader of the newspapers and books published in the 1830’s instinctively sits back and wonders how such a rapid and flourishing growth of Catholicism in the northeastern part of the United States could possibly be explained.

  • CHAPTER EIGHT the JESUIT HERITAGE in RHODE ISLAND The
    CHAPTER EIGHT THE JESUIT HERITAGE IN RHODE ISLAND The story of the Jesuit relationship to Rhode Island ante­ dates the establishment of the Diocese of Providence in 1872 and continues today in the Ocean State where Catholics number at least 600,000 out of a total population of almost 930,000. This chapter will survey the connection of the Society of Jesus to Rhode Island during the early period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when Jesuits were not tolerated, the modem period of the nineteenth century when Jesuits not only contributed to the planting of Catholicism but operated St. Joseph's in Providence, and the contemporary period of the twentieth century 'Nhen the Jesuits have been present in various ways in the Ocean State. I The story begins with Roger Williams, a dissident who was driven out of Massachusetts and founded Providence Plan­ tation in 1636. Although the new colony around Narragansett Bay gained a reputation for religious liberty, the charter of King Charles II of England granting freedom of conscience in 1663 was later re.stricted by the inclusion of a secret clause dis­ franchising Catholics. This was not made public until 1719 when it became known that no Catholic could hold public office. Thus, it is doubtful that it was in any way superior to the Religious Toleration Act passed in 1649 by Maryland where the Jesuits were influential. While one might argue that the clause against Cath@lics was not reflective of the views of Rhode Island's illustrious founder, there can be no doubt about his own hostile views about the Jesuits.

  • CHAPTER NINE the JESUIT HERITAGE in CONNECTICUT The
    CHAPTER NINE THE JESUIT HERITAGE IN CONNECTICUT The only Jesuit foundation in Connecticut today is at Fairfield where the Jesuits run not only a preparatory school but also a college and a university. Yet the story of the Jesuits in the Nutmeg State, where the Catholic population numbers some ,1,3 50,000, is much more than the work of the Society of Jesus at Fairfield. For it goes back to the early period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when Jesuits were rare visitors to the state, develops in the modern period of the nineteenth century when Jesuits contributed substantially to the growth of Catholicism throughout the state, and continues in the contemporary period of the twentieth century when Jesuits are still serving the people of Connecticut who now number some 3, 100,000. I The story of the Jesuits in Connecticut begins with John Winthrop, Jr., who was elected Governor of Connecticut in 1657.
