  • Founded in Faith Alive in His Love God's Love Brought a Parish Community Together 100 Years Ago
    Founded in Faith Alive in His Love God's love brought a parish community together 100 years ago. Miners, railroad workers, laborers in the carbon works, farmers, women, and children all drawn by their Catholic faith to a little white church atop a wooded hill in Cabot. Founded in faith, the St. Joseph Church community has flourished now for a century, guided by the spirit of many priests who have served it. Beloved by so many families who have worshipped there and have marked the important events of their lives inside this church. The centennial of St. Joseph Church is an opportunity to tell an extraordinary story about ordinary people whose abiding faith and unselfish devotion continue to keep this vibrant parish alive in His love. A Church of Their Own In the late 1700s, Irish and German immigrants, including many Revolutionary War heroes, settled the rugged, picturesque land in the southeastern corner of what would later become Butler County. It wasn't until 1854, just 50 years before St. Joseph Church was established, that Winfield Township was organized. In addition to great agricultural development, the abundant mineral deposits and fine water power of this rural land enabled many industries to flourish in the township's villages of Carbon Black (later renamed Cabot), Delano (now Marwood), West Winfield, Saxonburg, and Leasureville. The entire township's population hovered just above 1,000 at the turn of the century. It was in Carbon Black where St. Joseph Church was founded just after the turn of the century. The tiny village got its name from a lamp-black factory where “soot” was made for paint manufacturing, and later, for automobile tires.

  • A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930
    Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences by Debra K. Burgess B.A. University of Cincinnati June 2012 M.A. University of Cincinnati April 2014 Committee Chair: Mark A. Raider, Ph.D. 24:11 Abstract Closer Connections: A Regional Study of Secular and Sectarian Orphanages and Their Response to Progressive Era Child-Saving Reforms, 1880-1930 by Debra K. Burgess Child welfare programs in the United States have their foundation in the religious traditions brought to the country up through the late nineteenth century by immigrants from many European nations. These programs were sometimes managed within the auspices of organized religious institutions but were also found among the ad hoc efforts of religiously- motivated individuals. This study analyzes how the religious traditions of Catholicism, Judaism, and Protestantism established and maintained institutions of all sizes along the lines of faith- based dogma and their relationship to American cultural influences in the Midwest cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh during the period of 1880-1930. These influences included: the close ties between (or constructive indifference exhibited by) the secular and sectarian stakeholders involved in child-welfare efforts, the daily needs of children of immigrants orphaned by parental disease, death, or desertion, and the rising influence of social welfare professionals and proponents of the foster care system.

  • History of St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish. Diamond Jubilee St. Mary's Parish, Mckeesport, PA 1893-1968, P. 12-50. CAP at Orchard Lake
    History of St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish. Diamond Jubilee St. Mary's Parish, McKeesport, PA 1893-1968, p. 12-50. CAP at Orchard Lake. At the junction of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers in Allegheny county, in the western part of the State of Pennsylvania, lies one of America's greatest industrial centers the city of McKeesport. When David McKee crossed the Allegheny Mountains from Philadelphia in 1755, he settled at the spot where the two rivers met, known as the Village of Queen Aliquippa, and thus became the first white resident. His son John succeeded him as owner of the land and an operator of a ferry, and it was he, who founded McKee's Port in 1795 or 173 years ago. The original settlers were Scotch and the first church in the locality was Presbyterian, established in 1819. People of other nationalities and creeds were soon filtering into the little town. They held their church services either in private homes or in open groves. From 1755 for nearly 88 years there were no Catholics there. However, about 1843, McKeesport children were brought to old St. Phi- lomena's Church in Pittsburgh by their German parents to be baptized. At that time Redemptorist Fathers came to McKeesport to administer to the spiritual needs of the inhabitants, once a month. The village of McKeesport had about 500 inhabitants of different creeds. Holy Mass was offered in the home of a family named Reilly, who lived just about where the present altar of St. Peter's now stands. In 1846 or 122 years ago, two cattle jobbers in the town purchased a piece of ground and had it deeded to Bishop O'Connor, the first Bishop of Pittsburgh.

  • A Celebration of Faith Holy Family Parish. 90 Years of Grace and Blessings Holy Family Church, Pittsburgh, PA
    A Celebration of Faith Holy Family Parish. 90 Years of Grace and Blessings Holy Family Church, Pittsburgh, PA. p. 1-18. CAP at Orchard Lake. The greatest treasure that our forefathers brought to America was their faith. This year/ 1992/ as we the people of Holy Family look back on ninety years as a parish, we can indeed exclaim, "God has done great things." Since the founding of the parish in 1902, we have witnessed trials and triumphs, but our people have always been committed to faith and devotion to God, held a special regard for the Mother of Jesus, and been loyal to Roman Catholicism. By the turn of the twentieth century, the Lawrenceville community was in a state of transition. With the increasing population of ethnic Poles, a group of dedicated men began to undertake steps for the creation of a new church. While the names of persons engaged in this task have been lost, we know that among the founders of the new parish were T. Kanoza, M. Okonski, M. Krotoszynski, J. Wojdyla, M. Stec, F. Burek, S. Poznanski, J. Bandyk, F. Lejpras, P. Lozowski, T. Kosib, J. Kowalski, Lesniak, and A. Gawronski. The first project undertaken by the committee was to obtain a lot on the corner of 41st and Foster Streets for the purpose of establishing a church. Next, they petitioned His Excellency the Most Reverend Richard Phelan, Bishop of Pittsburgh, for permission to start a new parish. Bishop Phelan granted permission on October 10, 1902, and assigned the Reverend Anthony Smelsz as the first pastor of Holy Family parish.
