Residing, therefore, within the bounds of his spiritual jurisdiction, the Catholics of Chicago, when they resolved in April, 1833, to pe- tition for a resident pastor, addressed themselves to the Bishop of St. Louis. Their petition ran as follows: "We, the Catholics of Chicago, Cook Co., 111., lay before you the necessity there exists to have a pastor in this new and flourishing city. There are here several families of French descent, born and brought up in the Roman Catholic faith and others quite willing to aid us in supporting a pastor, who ought to be sent here before other sects obtain the upper hand, which very likely they will try to do. W^e have heard several persons say were there a priest here they would join our religion in preference to any other. W^e count almost one hundred Catholics in this town. We will not cease to pray until you have taken our important request in consideration."^^ '' Andreas, I, 289. The following signed the petition, the figure after each individual's name indicating the number of persns in his family: Thomas J. V. Owen, 10; J. Bt. Beaubien, 14; Joseph Lafromboise, 7; Jean Pothier, 5; Alexander Bobinson, 8; Pierre La Clerc, 3; Alexis Lafromboise, 4; Claude La- fromboise, 4 ; Jacques Chassut, 5 ; Antoine Ouilmet ; Leon Bourassa, 3 ; Charles Taylor, 2; J.

The appeal of the Catholics of Chicago to Bishop Rosati reached him at a providential juncture. A few days before it came into his hands, he had raised to the priesthood a young Frenchman, Irenaeus Mary St. Cyr, whose services were now available for whatever corner of the Lord's vineyard the prelate might see fit to assign him. Ac- cordingly, under date of April 17, 1833, Bishop Rosati signed a docu- ment charging Father St. Cyr with the spiritual care of the Catholics of Chicago.^^ John Mann, 4 ; B.

  • " a Great and Lasting Beginning": Bishop John Mcmullen's
    22 Catholic Education/June 2005 ARTICLES “A GREAT AND LASTING BEGINNING”: BISHOP JOHN MCMULLEN’S EDUCATIONAL VISION AND THE FOUNDING OF ST. AMBROSE UNIVERSITY GEORGE W. MCDANIEL St. Ambrose University Catholic education surfaces as a focus and concern in every age of the U.S. Catholic experience. This article examines the struggles in one, small Midwestern diocese surrounding the establishment and advancement of Catholic education. Personal rivalries, relationship with Rome, local politics, finances, responding to broader social challenges, and the leadership of cler- gy were prominent themes then, as they are now. Numerous historical insights detailed here help to explain the abiding liberal character of Catholicism in the Midwestern United States. n the spring of 1882, Bishop John McMullen, who had been in the new IDiocese of Davenport for about 6 months, met with Father Henry Cosgrove, the pastor of St. Marguerite’s (later Sacred Heart) Cathedral. “Where shall we find a place to give a beginning to a college?” McMullen asked. Cosgrove’s response was immediate: “Bishop, I will give you two rooms in my school building.” “All right,” McMullen said, “let us start at once” (The Davenport Democrat, 1904; Farrell, 1982, p. iii; McGovern, 1888, p. 256; Schmidt, 1981, p. 111). McMullen’s desire to found a university was not as impetuous as it may have seemed. Like many American Catholic leaders in the 19th century, McMullen viewed education as a way for a growing immigrant Catholic population to advance in their new country. Catholic education would also serve as a bulwark against the encroachment of Protestant ideas that formed the foundation of public education in the United States.

  • 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.

  • Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866
    Catholic Novelists in Defense of Their Faith, 1829-1866 WILLARD THORP IN THE EARLY YEARS of the Republic there was a general distrust of fiction. Novels were held to be insipid, frivolous, and even dangerous. Indulgence in novel-reading was, at the least, a waste of time; at the worst, it could lead to immoral- ity. In his Sentimental Novel in America (l940) Herbert Ross Brown notes that these inherent evils were of concern to men prominent in public affairs. Thomas Jefferson wrote to Nathaniel Burwell: 'When this poison infects the mind, it de- stroys its tone and revolts it against wholesome reading. The result is a bloated imagination, sickly judgment, and dis- gust towards all the real businesses of life.' Noah Webster had strong feelings in the matter. Presidents Dwight of Yale and Witherspoon of Princeton viewed with alarm. Still, as literacy increased and urban life became more ur- bane, people wanted to read novels. Our early novelists soon discovered ways to relieve readers of feelings of guilt. One way was to announce in the title that the tale was designed to inculcate virtue. Surely one might safely venture inside a novel with such a title as Amelia; or. The Influence of Virtue (I8O2) or What is Gentility? a Moral Tale (1828). Another strategy was to declare that your novel was 'founded on fact.' For some reason that escapes me, believing that you were reading a factual, not a fictional account of kidnapping, seduction, or murder was reassuring. 25 26 American Antiquarian Society Writers also discovered that if their novels championed a cause, they could attract readers.

  • St. Agnes' Church 1878-1998
    During this Year of Faith, we remember our Catholic heritage and rejoice in who we are now. For many of us, our ancestors were immigrants who came to Cohoes to work in the mills. Because of their faith, they built beautiful churches to worship in. And so, with great dedication and sacrifice, they built St. Bernard’s, St. Joseph's, St. Agnes, St. Patrick's, St. Michael's, St. Marie's, St. Rita's, and Sacred Heart - all a testament to their love of God. God has opened the door of faith for each one us and he invites us to step through the threshold into a deeper relationship with him. Starting in September, St. Michael’s and Holy Trinity will celebrate a different church each month, remembering traditions and customs from each. Come join us as we celebrate in our Cohoes Catholic heritage. JANUARY 2014 St. Agnes’ Church 1878-1998 In the autumn of 1878, the Bishop of the Albany Catholic Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Francis McNeirny, directed a young priest, the Rev. John L. Lowery, to come to Cohoes and found a new parish in the hill section, which would minister to the needs of the Catholics there, mostly Irish immigrants and their families. The parish would be named for one of the earliest martyrs of the church, St. Agnes. A structure was begun on a plot of ground where the lyceum now stands, but while it was yet under construction, the pastor celebrated mass for his new flock in the building which served for many years as Steamer House No.
