DENECKERE, Noble Gentlemen, Devoted Priests and Kind Teachers, Untiring Laborers in Every Cause of Religion, True Missionary Representatives, Faith- ful Disciples of Their Divine Master, and Worthy Sons of Ignatius de Loyola, these Pages arc Gratefully Dedicated, in all Consciousness of their Imperfection and Incom-plcteness, BY AN HUMBLE PUPIL BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION. The Church has reason to rejoice, that CathoUcs are awakening to the justice and importance of reclaiming and preserving the early history and records of the religion of their fathers. Want, intolerance and persecution drove them from their native land. They came into a strange and un- settled country, —cast adrift in the Indian wilds of America, without homes, without a church or a government, and with- out anything necessary to life and happiness. This generation, with all the grandeur and perfection of its civilization, can never fully understand nor in the least appreciate the sufferings and struggles of those who cleared our fields and built our homes. The enjoyments and com- forts we now possess, are ours only by inheritance as the fruits of their labors. By the sweat of their brow and the valor of their arm, grew this mighty religious and social fabric, —the Church to teach, to bless and to save, —the State to guard and protect. Before a settlement had been formed or a law enacted, the Church was here. Before a Calvert or a Penn had been granted a charter, the Jesuits watered the forests primeval with their blood. They planted the Cross and offered up the Holy Sacrifice, that soon there might be labor in the desert wastes before them. Others came, and in many a lowly wigwam and humble " Mass-house " were heard the praises of God, in the celebration of the divine mysteries of the altar. Follow the names in history or geography, —from the St. Lawrence to the Pacific, from the Lakes to the Gulf, from Maine to Florida, —at every step there is some living evi- dence of the Catholic Church. Time and its changes can never obliterate them. Their impress is indelibly blended on every monument of greatness, on every work of genius ; in the laws and institutions of the country, in the lives of millions of its inhabitants, in the memory of millions more. — IV BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION. How (it and proper that the children of the Cliurch sliould remember all she has done for them. From Rome herself sprang this desire, when Pius IX. of saintl}^ mcmor)- opened to the world the treasures of her lore. Men took up the good work in this country ; historical societies were or- ganized, researches made, and Catholics h;ive every reason to be proud of the history of their Church. The East has a grand l)nt unwritten histor}'. The Church wept over the graves of the founders of that " Hap- pie Marieland." She in turn rejoiced over the cradle of her hierarchy in America. Every hill and valley and sub-division of country, bear names derived from the Catholic Church.-^ Every foot of ground is to her a land-mark. Will her gi-eat and gifted men never respond to the inspiration of the mem- or}^ of all that is Catholic in Maryland ? Conewago is one of the oldest of the Maryland missions. Though in Pennsylvania, it was founded under the impres- sion, and no doubt rightly so, that it belonged to the Mary- land province. To write its history is an undertaking far beyond our ability. "Under other circumstances," we had once hoped to do it justice. Alas ! they will never come. Partly educated and living with the Jesuits, misfortune turn- ed our course, and Remembrance alone remains. The only motive tliat now prompts us, is the desire to add an hnml)le mite to one of the granrlest histories America will ever have,-—that of the Catholic Church. It is intended sim})ly as a collection of scraps gathered by the wayside of early life. Time and means and ability are wanting to put them properly together. The critic will say, better to have left it alone. Far better, for others much more capable iiave passed along and gone their way. Conewago's history was not written. Tliis i^ a poor attempt at writing it, but at least the fragments we ha\'e gathered shall bo preserved. R_y conrming ourselves within the limits of our knowledge and ])ui'pose, we hope to avoid tlie moi'e serious faults of rashness and cri'or. One great desire is to write in a Catholic spirit, and in accordance with the teaciiings of tlie Catholic Church. That done, we hope the want of polish and learning ]nay be the more readily overlooked. Martinrburg, W. Va., Fai.^t of Corpm C/trisii, June 4th, 1885. — THE CHURCH AND ITS HEROES. How woudert'iilly dependent upon each other, are men and then" actions ? Great or small, near together or widely separated, there is a bearing in all things, for good or for evil. It may not be felt, nor seen, nor thought of, but it ex- is carried in ists ; and openly or silent ly^ the tendency out time and beyond. Who could have discovered a common end between the child born in the Chateau of Loyola at Biscay in Spain, 1491, and the hardy sailor planning and explaining to the learned men and before the Courts of Europe, in that very same year! But there was. Conewago is an atom in the sea of results ilowing from the lives and labors of Christopher Col- umbus and Ignatius Loyola. So all through life, from the huml)lest details tliat are passed by unnoticed, to the migiity events that mark the centuries in distinction. Then let us for a moment skim over the main of discov- ery and settlement, and take a few (lowers here and there from the beautiful treasure-gardens of American heroism, in which the fairest in bud or bloom is a Catholic virtue and a Catholic deed ; —happy enough if we may call our own the ravel-string that binds them. " In the Ibreground of American history there stand these three figures, —a lady, a sailor and a monk. Might Charity." they not be thought' to typify Faith, Hope, and D'Arcy McCee. Columbus is the grand central hgure. The lady, Isabella the Catholic, " one of the purest and most beautiful characters in history." The monk, Juan Perez, wlio brought Colum})us back to confidence and success, when in despair he was about to quit Spain forever. Columbus ! so much like St. Ignatius. Devoutly Cath- olic, pure and holy, he lived and labored only for the greater honor and glory of God. His devotion to the l^lessed Virgin is the corner-stone of America's consecration to her honor G CONEWAGO—A COLLECTION OF and to the service of lier Divine Son. Li her honor lie nam- ed his vessel and his discoveries and saihng under her pat- ; ronage, he sang her praises over all the broad ocean. lie remembered his religion in all things, —himself in nothing. Columbus is the type and model of his successors in the Catholic voyages of discovery, —Alonzo de Ojeda, Yasco Nunez de Balboa, Hernando Cortes, Cabral, Orellana, Magel- lan, and others. Wherever they went, these navigators and explorers planted the cross, and their memorj^ shall perish, NEVER. Sebastian Cabot gave P^ngland a continent, 1)ut "no one knows his burial-place." In the far north, the names of towns and rivers to this day give evidence of the religion of Cartier, Cham})laiu and La Salle. In 1679, the latter built the lirst sailing vessel on Lake Erie. With his name goes that of the explorer of the Mississippi, Fei-dinand de Soto,^— the associate of Pizzaro and a worthy companion of Columbus. He slept in the bosom of the Mississippi in 1542. "The priests chanted over his body the first requiems that were ever heard on the waters of the Mississippi." With such characters of nobility we may place the bravo and generous Montcalm. What a difterence between tlie early heroes Catholic Europe gave to America, and many of those who came from there in a more infidel age ? It is impossible in this short s[)ace to follow the progi-ess of discovery or the missionary labors. This broad land is marked by such foot-steps from one end to the other. •' Amid the West India isles, through Mexico, Peru, Brazil and the southern continent, the cross was borne by the missionaries of Spain and Portugal : the Norweginn, Irish, and later the French and English, Ix^re it through our own more northern climes." The Franciscan, Dominican and Jesuit achieved the greater part of the toil, and i-eaped the greatest harvests. The Irish discovered Iceland and estal)lis]ied Christianity — — CATHOLIC LOCAL HISTORY.

  • 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.

Maryland Catholics adopted a course of private worship by attending Mass at Jesuit manor houses or performing devo- tions at home.

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • In the Footsteps of Saint Philippine Duchesne: a Self-Guided Tour
    Saint Philippine Bicentennial 1818-2018 In the footsteps of Saint Philippine Duchesne: A self-guided tour Mother Rose Philippine Duchesne was a pioneer Missouri educator, the first to open a free school west of the Mississippi, the first to open an academic school for girls in the St. Louis, Missouri, area, and the first Catholic sister (along with her four companions) to serve in the St. Louis region. She brought the French-based Society of the Sacred Heart to America. The congregation of sisters was just 18 years old, and she led its daring, first foreign mission. It was energized by her lifelong passion to serve Native Americans. Two hundred years after her arrival in the region, many share the stories of her faith-emboldened tenacity and her passion for girls’ excellent education. Many strive to model her lifelong determination to reflect the love of God always. Canonized on July 3, 1988, she is a patron saint of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. She is known around the world. We hope this guide to seven places where the saint lived and prayed will help you learn more about her often discouraging but remarkable journey of love.
