History of St. Vincent De Paul Parish Diamond Jubilee St History of St. Vincent de Paul Parish Diamond Jubilee St. Vincent de Paul Church 1888-1963. Milwaukee, WI. CAP at Orchard Lake. "This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 117, Verse 24. Such is the spirit with which we open our hearts and our mouths to honor the God Who made us what we are, His creatures, members of His Church and destined to remain, through His grace, sons of God. This year of 1963 marks our Diamond Jubilee year at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. It is the fulfillment of the sacrifices our forefathers made in establishing this house of God among men. Jubilee time is a time of prayerful thanksgiving to God, looking back at His many blessings bestowed on this parish through the years. This booklet tells the story of St. Vincent's Parish through its 75 years — the past and the pres- ent. The planting of the seed of faith, its watering with the watchful care of its shepherds, the priests tending their flocks; its growth materially and spiritually and its golden years in shaping the minds and hearts of its faithful after the heart of Christ. The events narrated may seem cold historical statements but behind these facts were the liv- ing souls, priests, sisters and faithful who offered of themselves to have the God of their love make His home among them. Those who gave us this heritage of faith, of hope and of love we commend in our prayers to God. Let us pray that those of us who live now may do our share in making our marks in the history of St. Vincent de Paul Parish, for the glory of God and the benefit of men. History is the story of life, not merely a recording of events and of dates, but an account of liv- ing people who made these events possible. It is the story of sacrifice, a desire for freedom, a struggle for existence, a thirst for knowledge and a love for God. Such is the story of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which has made its mark in the living history of the city, the state and the nation through the seventy-five years of its existence. The St. Vincent family has shown loyalty to its God, its Church and its country. The parish has become not only a center of religious activity but actually a new educational, cultural and social center rooted in the Polish heritage its founders brought with them from the distant shores of Poland. 1 To the zeal and ability of its spiritual leaders can be laid the fruitful results in sending out into the world a generous number of priests and nuns, teachers, men and women of various professions and business achievements, holding high civic, county and state positions, even reaching the United States Congress as did the late Hon. Judge John C. Kleczka and the present Representa- tive of our own Fourth Congressional District, the Hon. Clement J. Zablocki. The zealous pioneer priests and courageous lay people of the parish of the early days are a testimonial of the sterling character and quality of the martyrs and refugees from the cruel Prussian Kulturkampf of 1872. The first settlers in the Milwaukee area were French trappers and hunters who brought with them a deep love for their Mother Church. In the early years of the community, thousands of Germans and Bavarians." many of whom had Catholic origin, did much to bury deep the roots of Catholicity and bring a religious feeling to the community. A few years after the arrival of the first Gentians in Milwaukee the growth of the Church in Milwaukee found its greatest impetus when many thousands of Poles began to settle the comparatively open country south of the Menomonee River Valley in what was called Walker's Point, now the South Side. They brought with them their customs and language, but most of all their living faith in Christ and His Church. Because their life was centered in their Church, the immigrants found it the source of their religious and soc ial life. The South Side thus developed along religious lines where the majority of people were Catholic. To serve the spiritual and social needs of the Polish people the first Polish Catholic Church in Milwaukee was St. Stanislaus Church, founded in 1866. In 1871 the people of the lower East Side built St. Hedwig Church. In the latter 1870's St. Stanislaus Parish grew to such proportions that neither the church nor the school could accommodate its faithful, so this led to the estab- lishment of a new parish, St. Hyacinth, in 1882, under the guidance of the Rev. Hyacinth Gulski. By this time the Polish population in Milwaukee had tripled. The people who had settled to the "far West" on the South Side had a long distance to church under conditions of those clays and felt the need of a church in their neighborhood among "the hills" of the West Side. The overcrowded conditions at St. Hyacinth Parish in church and school prompted a decision. 1888. It is here that the St. Vincent de Paul family began in the history of the Church in Milwaukee. It was in 1888 that the zealous Rev. Hyacinth Gulski, Pastor of St. Hyacinth Parish, made the momentous decision to divide his overcrowded congregation and organize the fourth Polish-American parish in Milwaukee. Land was bought by the people themselves on the loca- tion of Mitchell Street and 16th Avenue (now South 21st Street). First Church 1888. A large brick two-story building (130 ft. by 30 ft.) was erected. The cost of the building and its furnishings was $30,000. The first floor was devoted to the educational interests of the parish. The second floor was arranged as the church. Archbishop Michael Heiss officiated at the dedication in 1888. Father Gulski, patriot and orator, preached the sermon, and the Rev. Vincent Lewandowski held the services. Father Lewandowski served his God and his parishioners from 1888 to July, 1899, as the first pastor of souls at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. 2 Father Vincent Lewandowski was born May 29, 1841. in Przybrod, Poznan, in Poland. Ordained in 1864, he was forced to I lee the destruction and plunder of monasteries and churches by the Prussian "Kulturkampf" of 1872, and after three years he came to America and set¬tled in Toledo. Ohio. After serving there as pastor for ten years he came to Milwaukee in 1885. He was assistant at St. Hyacinth Parish until he was appointed pastor at St. Vincent de Paul Parish. The parish was named after its first Pastor. In 1889 the congregation felt its existence so securely founded that it undertook to erect a rectory. It was in this veal' that Father Lewandowski celebrated the Silver Jubilee of Priesthood. School Sister of Notre Dame Arrive 1888. The School Sisters of Notre Dame took over the leaching duties in St. Vincent School on the feast of the Holy Innocents. December 28. 1888. Sister Maiy Gerhardvna was the first Superior. She was assisted by four other Sisters. The school was officially opened in January, 1889, with three classrooms. It was not long before new class- rooms were needed. So the Sisters, who had been living in the school, moved into their new convent on September 1. 1893, and their former living quarters were converted into classrooms. A smallpox epidemic in 1894 took the lives of nine schoolchildren. Faithfully and zealously Father Lewandowski served God and ministered to his people for ten years. On January 1, 1894, a momentous occasion, the blessing of the church bells, took place. Church Bells. Seven years later three more bells were bought and installed in the new church. Each bell consecrated and anointed with holy oil. to this day calls the faithful to worship and reminds them at the Angelus that God is in their midst. The bells arc named: St. Vincent de Paul — 62-in. diameter — 5,000 lbs. SS. Ladislaus and Alexius—54-in. diameter — 3,000 lbs. St. Mary —42-in. diameter — 1,600 lbs. St. Hyacinth — 32-in. diameter — 650 lbs. Because of illness, a heart defect. Father Vincent Lewandowski resigned his duties as Pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in July 8. 1899. At the age of 59, he died suddenly while riding a streetcar on what is now South 13th and W. Grant Streets on January 22, 1900. "We don’t know the day nor the hour." And thus closed one chapter in the history of the parish. His body rests at St. Adalbert Cemetery. In the interim the parish was managed by the Reverend B. Śmietana, assistant at St. Vincent, and Reverend John Blechacz until Archbishop Katzer appointed the Reverend Maximilian Dorszynski the new Pastor on July 22. 1899. 1899. Fr. Maximilian Dorszynski was born Oct. 12, 1873. in Milwaukee. His parents, Matthew Dorszynski and Dorothy (nee Polczynski), came to America from West Prussia. He was educated at St. Hedwig School, Milwaukee, then seven years at Marquette High and Marquette University. Having completed his theology at St. Francis Seminary, he was ordained to the Holy Priesthood June 20. 1897, by Archbishop Katzer.

For six months he served as assistant at St. Casimir Parish. Milwaukee, and then became the new Pastor at St. 3 Vincent do Paul. New Church 1900. In 1900 the congregation with its energetic new Pastor undertook the erec- tion of a new church, a beautiful edifice, a lasting monument of their faith and an outstanding landmark in the growth of Milwaukee.

  • 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.

  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.

  • Years of Storm & Stress
    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

  • SOUTHEAST Sidefernwood
    Approximate boundaries: N-E. Oklahoma Ave;S -E. St. Francis Ave (partial); E-Lake Michigan,W -Lake Pkwy-794 SOUTHEAST SIDEFernwood NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION Fernwood has a densely populated area that borders the lake and extends to the city’s southern border just north of the city of St. Francis. The houses are mainly early 20th century bungalows and two-story wood frame houses. There are a few newer homes on South Lake Drive. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee occupies the largest parcel of land in the neighborhood, comprising nearly half of Fernwood from South Lake Drive east. There are two parks. Bay View Park is a 39-acre stretch of green space that runs along the lake just east of South Lake Drive. There is also Morgan Triangle, a small park between Kinnick- innic Avenue and South Pennsylvania Avenue. See photos below. HISTORY If there was one word that can describe the history of the Fernwood neighborhood, that word would be “Catholicism.” Early populations By the middle of the 19th century, German farmers—mostly Catholic—had settled on today’s southeast side of Milwaukee. A German Catholic hamlet called New Koln thrived within the expanse that had been the unincorporated Town of Lake that encompassed today’s Fernwood neighborhood. Having arrived Todays neighborhood- fromCologne (German Koln), these 50 settlers founded St. Houses on Springfield Ave. Stephen’s Catholic Parish. The German population gradually gained force in the region. Catholic Bishop John Martin Henni recognized the need for priests to serve German-speaking Catholics in the wider area and in 1843 organized the St.

  • 1. Burial Records from the Church Register of Elmore Reformed Church, 1858 – 1888
    R-029 Entered on computer by S. Connie Halbur, May-June,2005 This folder contained the following: 1. Burial records from the church register of Elmore Reformed Church, 1858 – 1888. These records can also be found in the Cemetery Data Base. The hard copy of these burial records can be found only in Cemetery Series Book 7. Burial records vary considerably in the amount of detail given, depending on the pastor or scribe. These appear to have been photocopied from a hand-written set, which in turn had been copied from the original register. In some instances, the writer of this first hand- written copy wrote far into the right-hand margin, that when this was first photocopied, a small amount of the far right side did not get photocopied. Mr. Reese’s note at the end of the list of burials reads: These records I found at the United Church of Christ in Campbellsport. [Note: This burial record is also included in the Cemetery Data Base, even though it is not a cemetery record per se, but is rather taken from a church death register. It could include persons who died at Elmore, but were buried elsewhere. Also, the complete cemetery record for that period may well include names of persons who died elsewhere, but were buried at Elmore, and are therefore not listed here.] 2.
