Christian Brothers at St. Mary’s School (1871-1968) 1. The Beginning: An Amazing Coincidence On the first day of my pastorate on Feb. 1, 1987, I took a look at our first Baptismal Book. (Our first recorded baptism was in December of 1847). I was intrigued to find that many of the first baptisms were performed by Jesuit priests with French names: Jouin, Daubresse, Doucet, Bienvenue. The pastor was Irish, Fr. John Ryan, which was expected in a congregation that was almost all Irish. But why were French priests here? The short answer is that they were from St. John's College (now Fordham University) and they were mostly French because Archbishop Hughes wanted Jesuits from the Province of France not the American Province to teach at St. John's. Why? The longer answer involves Hughes's prickly relationship with the Jesuits and why the Jesuits left our parish after only three years. A few years later my curiosity got the better of me. I traced past the history of the French Jesuits in New York. There I came across a most remarkable historical coincidence. In 1643 St. Isaac Jogues was rescued (by ransom) from a Mohawk tribe partly through the help of Adriaen Van der Donck. In Russell Shorto's "Island in the Center of the World" Adriaen is described as "a forgotten American, a maverick, liberal- minded lawyer whose brilliant gamesmanship, commitment to individual freedom and exuberant love of his new country would have lasting impact on the history of this nation."He had met Jogues earlier and found that they had mutual interests in the "flora and fauna" of the New World and in the customs of the Native Americans. Jogues was placed in "house arrest" in New Amsterdam by his Dutch Protestant rescuers until they could put him on a ship back to Europe. In New Amsterdam at the same time was Thomas Cornell, a landowner from the Bronx, who was in town for the wedding of his daughter. The direct descendant of Cornell was the leading lay founder of our parish, Thomas Cornell. Adriaen Van der Donck became the owner of a large tract of land which became known as "Yonkers" named after his nickname "Yonkeers" (young gentleman). He is probably buried in Van Cortland Park (once History Of Our Church Page 1 part of Yonkers). Jogues, who after a perilous journey, make it back to France, only to return to the New World to be martyred and eventually become a canonized saint. Two hundred years later (including the suppression of the Jesuit Order by the Pope from 1773 -1814) members of the same French Jesuit Provincial Order as Jogues (now including Canada) were now founding the parish of St. Mary's that included all the land of Yonkers. That's pretty amazing. Isn't it? 2. Adriaen Van der Donck Park Dedication. (Scheduled to be given on September 8, 2012 but postponed because of a “tornado watch”) Who is Adriaen Van der Donck? My interest in Adraien Van der Donck began twenty-five years ago when I became pastor of St. Mary's Church on South Broadway. After reviewing the names of our first baptisms in 1848 I became intrigued by the first priests who administered the baptisms. They were Jesuits, (no surprise - they came from what is now Fordham University) but why were they from the Province of France and Canada and not America? This led me to a history of the Jesuits in this part of the New World and to the French Fr. Isaac Jogues. In 1643, with the encouragement of the Dutch settlers, Jogues had escaped from a Mohawk tribe and, while awaiting his eventual release by ransom, he met a man named Adraien Van der Donck. They shared information about the customs of the Native Americans and were very interested in the animal and plant life of the area ("the flora and fauna.") I soon learned that this was the man after whom Yonkers was named. He has a fascinating story and it is worth remembering. l must also mention that thirteen years later in this same area Kateri Tekakwitha, who will be canonized a saint in Rome next month, was born of a Mohawk father and Huron mother. Adraien Van der Donck was a young man of twenty three who came to New Netherlands in 1641 to work for the Patroon, Kilean van Rensselear, a rich diamond merchant, on his land near present day Albany. He worked as a "Shout" a combination of Sheriff and District Attorney. As a graduate of the law school at the University of Leiden, he was the most educated man in New Netherlands and probably overqualified for his work. He soon disagreed with his absentee Lord of the Manor and with the system set up by the Dutch West Indian Company. The Patroon System was not attracting enough settlers nor did the Dutch West Indian Company understand how important strategically the settlement of New Amsterdam was going to be for world trade. He was also stymied in his efforts to obtain land for himself. His contract as Shout was not renewed when his term expired in 1644. What was New Netherlands? It was a large area that included what is today's states of Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Only half of the settlers were ethnically Dutch. Many settlers were Walloons, French Huguenots, German, Scandinavians, and English from New England. Among the latter were the families of Anne Hutchinson and Thomas Cornell. Thomas Clapp Cornell, who was one of the founders of my church and after whom our new public school is named, was a direct descendent of this Thomas Cornell. The Dutch tended to be merchants and traders, not farmers. New Amsterdam was described in 1843 as settlement with a population of 800 with eighteen different languages. Trade with the local Native Americans, especially for animal skins, was lucrative for both sides. An opportunity for Van der Donck arose when he was asked by the Director General of New Netherlands, Wilhem Keift, to help mediate an end to an ill advised bloody war against the local Native Americans. Called the Keift's War (1643-1645), it was a disaster. Hundreds of Native Americans and European settlers were killed, including Anne Hutchinson and her family (after which the Hutchinson River Parkway is named.) As the bloody war stretched into its third year Keift knew van der Donck had good relations with Native Americans and asked him to join him to end the war. With the help of gifts of wampum provided by Van der Donck, Kieft did achieve peace. As a result, in July of 1845, he was rewarded by the Dutch West India Co. with a very large land grant of 24,000 acres. This included all of the present City of Yonkers plus today's Riverdale, Kingsbridge, van Cortland Park and Moshoulu. It was initially called Colen Donck, then Jonkeers Colen Donck- "Jonkeers or Yonkeers" is a Dutch honorific title meaning something like" a young gentlemen of property." Eventually with History Of Our Church Page 2 the English conquest of the New Netherland the name was shortened to Yonkers and Adraien Van der Donck faded into history until now. It must be said that Van der Donck was very respectful of the claims of the Native Americans and made treaties that were accepted by both sides. It is difficult today to pinpoint who these tribes were. The Mohicans were situated to the north of Yonkers and the Mohawk settlements were across the Hudson River near today’s Albany. The mural by Hass on the southwest corner of Riverdale Avenue and Main Street names many possible tribes. There is some thought today that most fell under the confederation of the Lenapi. At any rate where we stand today was certainly the settlement site of one of the tribes and where Van der Donck set up his first saw and grist mills. Married in 1645 to Mary Doughty, daughter of an English minister, he probably never lived here. He may have lived near Spuyten Duyvil or in today's Van Cortlandt Park but we are not sure. This river, once called the Nepperhan (meaning "Rapid Waters") by the Native Americans, eventually was renamed the Saw Mill River. End of story? Not by a long shot! Much of this later history was buried in the archives in Albany unable to be translated because no one knew the "Old Dutch" language. Thanks to Charles Gehring who was able to translate these documents and to Russel Shorto' book "The Island in the Middle of the World" published in 2004, we now know a lot more about Van der Donck. He has been transformed from a footnote in history to an important historical figure. In 1847 the ineffectual Keift was replaced by Peter Stuyvesant who proved to be a dominant, almost dictatorial leader.

  • 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.

ALL who love liberty and value Protestantism venerate the character of John Knox; no British Reformer is more entitled to the designation of illustrious. By three centuries he anticipated that parochial system of education which has lately become the law of England; by nearly half that period he set forth those principles of civil and religious liberty which culminated in a system of constitutional government. To him Englishmen are indebted for the Protestant character of their "Book of Common Prayer;" Scotsmen for a Reforma­ tion so thorough as permanently to resist the encroachments of an ever aggressive sacerdotalism. Knox belonged to a House ancient and respectable; but those bearing his name derive their chiefest lustre from 1eing connected with a race of which he was a member. The family annals presented in these pages reveal not a few of the members exhibiting vast intellectual capacity and moral worth. \Vhat follows is the result of wide research and a very extensive correspondence.
