History of SS. Cyril & Methodius R.C. Church, Mckees Rocks, PA. Golden History of SS. Cyril & Methodius R, C. Church Golden Anniversary 1910-1960 SS. Cyril and Methodius Church, McKees Rocks, PA. CAP at Orchard Lake. This Parish was organized on March 8, 1910. At that time there were 250 families but the total number of souls is not listed. The SS. Peter and Paul Society, No. 395 P.R.C.U., was instrumental in petitioning the Most Reverend Regis F. Canevin, then Bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese, for a resident pastor. He granted their wish by appointing, on April 1, 1910, Rev. John Robaczewski as the first Pastor of the newly organized Roman Catholic Parish, especially for Catholics of Polish origin. The following served on the first Church Committee: Andrew Hober, Thomas Letki, Francis Sielatycki, Joseph Wolanski, Marion Olbratowski and Teophil Borkowski, who was the last of this active orga- nizing group to die, on February 10, 1953, at the age of 79. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered for the first time in the Lithuanian Hall on Locust Street. This served as the Church until November 23, 1913. It is of interest to note that the first records of this Parish coincide with the day on which the First Mass was celebrated, April 3, 1910. On that day the following were baptized: Stephen Papieski, son of John Papieski and Leokadia Swiencka, born March 27,1910; Stephany Śmigielski, daughter of Francis Śmigielski and Stella Obrycka, born March 22, 1910; and Boleslaus Cetnar, son of James Cetnar and Agnes Kapustra, born March 20, 1910. These are the first records in the baptismal register. In order to raise funds to purchase a plot of land on which to build a Church, each family was as- sessed $50.00 and each working single person $25.00. This, with other free will offerings netted $14,500.00. The Parish bought the present Church property for $14,200.00; purchasing a parcel from Jerome Hapman for $3,200.00; a parcel from Sara Arnold for $5,000.00; and a parcel from John Mecolorman for $6,000.00. The deeds for these transactions are recorded as of July 29, 1911. Before undertaking any building for the proposed Church a mortgage of $35,000.00 was drawn on the Parish. This marks the beginning of the Parish Debt, which remained as a burden until June, 1947. Actual work on the Church began in the spring of 1912. It was completed in the latter part of 1913 at a cost of $28,000.00. It is the present combination building which "serves as a Church and the upper floors are used for a school. The balance of this first loan was used to buy the rectory, purchase vestments and other necessities for the Church. The cornerstone was blessed December 15, 1912; the Church was dedicated November 23, 1913. The Most Reverend Regis F. Canevin, Bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese, officiated at both functions. 1 In 1917, a home was purchased for the Venerable Sisters, at a cost of $6,000.00, and a second loan was drawn for $8,000.00. During the next two years, because of the failure to make payments not only on the principal but also the interest charges and the fact that new loans were made, the debt was, at the close of the year 1919, a total of $51,000.00. On the Fifteenth Anniversary of this Parish, The Most Reverend Hugh C. Boyle, then Bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese, transferred Rev. John Robaczewski and appointed as his successor Rev. Francis Poszukanis, who took office on March 10, 1925. The conditions in the Parish that greeted the new Pastor were far from normal or satisfactory. A debt of $48,000.00 and due to some misunderstandings among the members, caused by outside influences, the spirituality and the faith of many of the parishioners were at low ebb. This caused the number of families in the parish to drop to 275. The school numbered approximately 350 children which continued to decline until the year 1946. In a few years there was a marked sign of more cooperation with the Pastor and a spiritual awakening of the people to their obligations and duties to God and their Holy Religion. This brought on a spirit of greater confidence and respect for their Pastor. By calling one of the members to the Holy Priesthood, the Good Lord showed that he did not forget the Parish. The Rev. Fabian Czajkowski, O. F. M., the first member of this Parish to be raised to this Holy State, was ordained for the Franciscan Order on June 3, 1932 and celebrated his First Solemn High Mass the following Sunday. Most of those present at this event also witnessed the celebration of his Solemn Silver Jubilee, June 9, 1957. Since the Rev. Fabian, O. F. M., has a sister as a religious with the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, it is appropriate to mention the young ladies of this parish who have entered the religious life. It is with pride for a Parish of our size to number 14 who are in the following religious orders: 1 with the Felicians; 12 with the Holy Family of Nazareth; and 1 with the Sisters of Divine Providence, a postulant. It certainly is an indication that God blessed this Parish with vocations for the Sisterhood. It would be unjust to omit Brother David Typek, O.F.M., who entered Franciscan Monastery in Pu- laski, Wisconsin, August 1941, and pronounced solemn vows in 1949. At present he is the manager of the Provincial Sandal Shop. On September 29, 1935, the Parish celebrated its Silver Jubilee. On this occasion the Parish edited a Jubilee Album. This fact becomes noteworthy because it was used as a source for the material recorded in this historical sketch. It lists 375 families and approximately 285 children in the Par- ish School, covering 8 grades. One can notice the decline of the number of school children and an increase of families by 100 during the last decade. The members of the Church Committee at that time were: Stanley Borkowski, John Domka, Joseph Dudziński, Joseph Pospychala, Anthony Kratowicz, Leon Kanoza and Frank Kaczmarek. The Co-chairman for this Silver Jubilee was Joseph Synowka, who, with the first two mentioned Church Committee members will participate in the Golden Jubilee celebration. After serving faithfully for 20 years, the Rev. Francis Poszukanis, resigned in 1945, due to ill health. During his pastorate $38,000.00 of the mortgage was paid. It must be borne in mind that this cov- ered the years of the sad days of the now almost forgotten or little spoken of "depression". Credit 2 must be given for this hard work. As his successor, The Most Reverend Hugh C. Boyle, Bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese, appointed the Rev. Francis B. Filip, our present Pastor, on the Feast of St. John the Evangelist, December 27, 1945. At this time, there were no definite records to indicate the number of families or souls in the Parish, but certain lists of donors showed that there were about 250 families and a school enrollment of 84 children in 8 grades taught by four Nuns of the Holy Family of Nazareth. The census and the visits to all former parishioners and families of Polish descent during January and February of 1946, increased the number of families in the Parish to 435. This will show a decline due to the evident causes: migration to the suburbs, and1 the opening of new large neighboring Parishes — St. Malachy's, Kennedy Township; Holy Trinity, Moon Run; and St. Colum kill’s in Imperial. The debt at this time, a $11,000.00 mortgage, was not alarming because employment was on the increase. However, sad world conditions, including World War II, made matters uneasy. The need of many repairs and improvements were clearly evident. Material shortages made planning and progress difficult. Because of the financial standing of the Parish this part of the program was set aside for several months and more concentrated efforts were directed towards the spiritual needs of the people. Hence, a Lyceum was organized in February of 1946 which instilled the youth with a closer co-operation ih all the Parish functions and future programs. They experienced a successful youth program for many years and financially helped to furnish the kindergarten, and can boast of promoting some of the largest dances for the Polish folks. Remember the Polish Aristocrats Orches- tra at the dance held at the Stowe High School Auditorium!!! The Lyceum was officially dissolved at a special meeting on May 13, 1956 and the treasury balance of $169.12 was voted to be used for the Grade School Basketball Team. The boys received jackets from this fund. A final word: "The Lyceum was instrumental in helping start the present Sunday Bulletin which appeared for the first time on May 29, 1946. (Active members: Stephanie Tempalski, Joseph Rudzik, Bertha Karpinska, Genevieve Kosiba, Michael Dymora and others). Because of the large attendance at the two ordinary Sunday Masses, a third Mass was added on May 5, 1946. The Rev. John Bober, then Chaplain to the Felician Sisters' Motherhouse, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, celebrated this noon-day Mass until July 25, 1948, when the Rev. Stanislaus Zachewicz was appointed to assist at this Parish. Due to the shortage of vocations and the sudden demand for the opening of many new parishes in the diocese, the Rev. Stanislaus Zachewicz was transferred on July 3, 1949 by the then Coadjutor Bishop, The Most Reverend John F. Dearden. Since then, the Franciscan Fathers from Ben Avon, Pittsburgh, Pa.

    OFFICERS’ MANUAL of the CATHOLIC WAR VETERANS of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA “FOR GOD . FOR COUNTRY . FOR HOME” Revised January 1997 CHARTERED BY CONGRESS 17 AUGUST 1984 2 PREFACE. You learn to lead only by leading. In Catholic War Veteran units throughout the United States, there are many diversified types of activity in which members serve as leaders. This is the firing line. Leadership becomes most effective when it is motivated by an inspiring ideal and when it acts on good principles of organization and authority. The adequate management of the affairs and activities of the organization depends on a number of common principles of organization and authority. To adhere to these principles is to assure efficient, successful administration. To acquire knowledge of good principles of organization and authority and to apply them wisely to particular conditions and situations is the obligation of all officers in their responsibility to the membership and anyone whom they represent and serve. The purpose of this Officers’ Manual is to present a number of sound principles and methods of organization and command, which it is hoped will assist officers to develop leadership. Fundamentally, the strength of your leadership will lie: 1. In the understanding of the ideals and ideas, the purpose and procedure of Catholic War Veterans, and 2. In the cooperation with the programs of all higher echelons. Ultimately, one can only learn to lead by leading. This Officers’ Manual is meant as a guide, use it! 4 PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION Desirable Qualities The Catholic War Veterans of the United States of America is a living thing.

  • 34 Robert E. Carbonneau, CP, PASSIONISTS and LAY
    Studies in Passionist History and Spirituality - 34 Robert E. Carbonneau, C.P., PASSIONISTS AND LAY CATHOLICS IN THE UNITED STATES ST. PAUL OF THE CROSS PROVINCE AN ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVE HISTORY 1852-1970s Passionist General Curia Piazza SS. Giovanni e Paolo, 13 Rome 2016 Printed with permission Fr. Joachim Rego, CP Superior General December 8, 2016 Introduction This alternative narrative history of St. Paul of the Cross province in the United States summarizes selected events from 1852 to the immediate post-Conciliar era of the early 1970s1. Passionists in other provinces and others associated with Passionist ministry are invited to reflect on a storyline that offers a diverse historical echo of the past from which we might be familiar. Appreciation and critique of these historical events are most welcome by all who might read this, I hope you will agree with me that it provides contemporary Passionists of the early twenty-first century an analytical tool of inquiry that contributes insight to how our contemporary international Passionist identity has taken root. Every effort has been made to go beyond some established monographs and rediscover Passionist identity using archival sources and official province documents2. While this narrative is very much centered on the contribution of Americans from St. Paul of the Cross (eastern province), I invite you to read and reflect about how these issues might reflect your own Passionist culture or language group. In other words, what might be a parallel incident that comes to mind? How might you enter into debate with these sources so as to contribute and expand on content of this essay? What scenarios surprise you? As we Passionists live in present and plan for the future, might we take the opportunity to keep before us a serious appreciation of our history so as enliven our charism.
