  • John Connolly, Bishop of New York, 1814 – 1825 [1]
    PROFILE JOHN CONNOLLY, BISHOP OF NEW YORK, 1814 – 1825 [1] In 1815 the records of the Diocese of Liege in Belgium described the recently-consecrated Bishop of New York, John Connolly of the Order of Preachers as "A man who conducts himself like an angel in all things. ."[2] The new Irish bishop was fluent in several languages, and had spent thirty-seven years working at high levels for his Order in Rome and the Vatican. He was sixty-four years old, and on his way to the New World as first resident bishop of New York, a diocese which had only four priests to serve it and comprised the whole state of New York and northern New Jersey. On the international scene, the War of 1812 had ended in February of 1815, and an "era of good feeling" was about to begin. It was an auspicious time for a long-awaited leader to arrive in New York. Connolly had shown strength of spirit and courage in Rome seventeen years earlier when he resisted the French takeover of Dominican properties. But the likelihood that the newlynamed bishop would ever return to Europe was slim. He was now a bishop in his declining years, in a distant place with a different culture, and pastor to a different people. John Connolly was born in the parish of Monknewtown in County Meath, Ireland, in October 1751.[3] His parents had a tenant farm on the hill of Slane where St. Patrick is reputed to have lighted the paschal fire in honor of Ireland's conversion to Christianity.

    John S. Cummins VATICAN II BISHOP OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, 1977-2003 Interviews conducted 2014-2015 by Germaine LaBerge A Donated Oral History Copyright © 2018 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The audio recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Bishop John S. Cummins dated February 22, 2015. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

  • Conflict Or Consensus? Catholics in Canada and in the United States, 1780-1820*
    CCHA, Historical studies, 55 (1988), 43-59 Conflict or Consensus? Catholics in Canada and in the United States, 1780-1820* by Luca CODIGNOLA University of Pisa In the years from the early 1780s to the early 1820s the flood of immigrants from Europe in both Canada and the United States, the movement of people within North America, and the settling of the Maritimes, Upper Canada, and the American territory west of the Appalachians deeply changed the nature and composition of the North American Catholic community. In Canada, the Catholics of the old province of Quebec, which was subdivided in 1791 into Lower and Upper Canada, were soon surrounded by Catholics who had mainly arrived from Ireland, Scotland, and the United States.1 In the United States, the formerly * A version of this paper was read at the VIIth International Conference on Canadian Studies at Acireale, Italy, on 19 May 1988. 1 For a general discussion of immigration and the Catholic community, see Terrence Murphy and Cyril K.

  • Record Group I.03.01 Jean Lefebvre De Cheverus Papers, 1797-1836 Archives, Archdiocese of Boston
    Record Group I.03.01 Jean Lefebvre de Cheverus Papers, 1797-1836 Archives, Archdiocese of Boston Table of Contents Introduction Biographical Sketch Scope and Content Contents (A-Z) Introduction The Jean Lefebvre de Cheverus papers held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston cover the years 1797-1836. The collection begins shortly after Cheverus's arrival in the United States from England and continues through the final years of his episcopate as Archbishop of Bordeaux. The papers number 210 items and are contained in 54 folders arranged alphabetically by correspondent in two manuscript boxes. The collection of Cheverus papers held by the Archives is extremely small and appears to have originated from several sources. The papers were first noticed and arranged in the 1930's 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 in individual folders and arranged chronologicall 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 non-original Cheverus material is several times larger than the original material held by the Archives of the Archdiocese of Boston, but it is not included as a part of this collection. The collection of Cheverus papers held by the Archives has increased since Lord, Sexton, and Harrington originally put them into some kind of formal order. Most of the items in the collection that are considered to be personal Cheverus correspondence were donated to the Archives by private individuals [one as recently as 1997].
