SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF PIUS X
Rev. Louis R. Stickney, formerly Secretary to the Apostolic Delegation.
Pope fins X. Joseph Mehhoir Sarto, the present occupant of the cliair
of Peter, was born on the 2nd clay of June. 1835, in the small village of
Riese, diocese of Treviso, Italy. His parents. John Baptist Sarto and Mar-
garet Sansoni, were of humble origin, and, though not blessed with a great
plenty of this world's goods, were very religious and highly respecte 1 by
those about them.
Joseph Melchoir, the first of eight children, was sent as a small boy to
the little village school, in which only the rudimentary branches were taught.
He soon attracted the attention of the parish priest of the village, whose
Mass he served every morning, and from him he received his first lessons in
Latin. The archpriest of Riese. noticing in the small boy the incipient signs
of a vocation to the priesthood, and wishing to direct his steps toward the
sanctuary, prevailed on Joseph's father to make the necessary sacrifices, and.
at the age of eleven, he was sent to the college al Castelfranco Veneto, about
live miles from Riese.
Having completed, with marked success, his studies at the college of
Castelfranco, his good father, allowing him to follow his vocation, permitted
him to enter the seminary at Padua. During the entire course of his eight
years of study in the seminary, he continued to give evident proofs of the
pious training he had received from his good parents, and by his conscientious
application to study, assisted by a natural quickness of mind, he soon rankej
amongst the first in his class. On the 4th of May. 1852, just as he was about
to commence his philosophical studies, his father died, and it seemed that he
would be forced to give up for a while his studies and return to his home in
Riese to assist his poor mother; however, through the kindness of the arch-
priest of Riese, and the Patriarch of Venice. Monsignor Monico, he obtained
a free scholarship and was able to go on with his seminary course.
On the 18th of September, 1S5S. Joseph was ordained priest in the prin-
cipal church of Castelfranco by Mgr. Farina. Bishop of Treviso. and was
immediately appointed curate in the little village of Tombalo. There he
labored zealously for nine years, until June, 1867, when he was named arch-
priest of the town of Salzano.
In 1S75 Mgr. Zinelli. Bishop of Treviso, called him to his episcopal city
and appointed him canon of the Cathedral and spiritual director of the sem-
inary. To these duties he soon had to add those of chancellor of the diocese,
and in all these positions he showed such untiring zeal and faithfulness that
Mgr Zinelli appointed him as his Vicar-General. This post he filled during
the administrations of Mgr. Callegari and .Mgr. Apollonio.
On the null of November, 1884, the See of Mantua became vacant by the
transfer of its Bishop to CJdine, and Leo XIII. in the consistory of the same
date, selected him for thai post. He was consecrated in the Cathedral tit
Mantua on (he 25th of November, L884, by His Eminence Cardinal Paroochi,
assisted by Mgr. Rota. Titular Archbishop of Thebes, and Mgr Berengo,
Archbishop of I'd
Ski ii ii in i in Ln i oi Pn - X— Continued.
During his administration of the diocese of Mantua Monsignor Sarto
■ \'{ I such activity and zeal that, on the death of the Patriarch of Venic<
Cardinal Agostini, Leo XIII chose him as successor, and. in the consistory of
rune 1 2th, 1893, created him Cardinal Priest, and in the EoHcr ing consistor;
of June 15th appointed him Patriarch of Venice.
On the 20th of July, 1903, he received the news of the death of Leo XII
and left immediately for Rome to assist at the Conclave. He entered tin
' onclave the evening of the 31st of July with the firm persuasion that he
would leave it as he was when I ntered; he bought a round-trip ticket fron
Venice to Rome, and as he left the Lombard College, at which he was a
guest during his stay in Rome, to inter the Conclave he said jokingly, to thi
students, "We are going to imprison some one in the Vatican and put him
under double lock." Little did he imagine that he was the one chosen by
Divine Providence to be imprisoned. On the Feast of St. Dominic, August
1th. 1903, His Eminence Cardinal Macchi announced to the people that Car-
dinal Joseph Mel. hoir Sarto, Patriarch of Venice, had been elected successor
in I. en XIII. liishop of Rome and Sovereign Pontiff, and that he had chosen
the name of Pius X. He \\;i> solemnly crowned in St. Peter's on the - ■ 1 1 1 ol
August.
In his first encyclical letter. "B supremi apostolatus cathedra," of October
i ili. 1903, bj which lie made known to the entire world his elevation to the
Chair of Peter, Pius X gave as the foundation of his pontificate the words of
the Apostle, "Instamare omnia in Christo" — "to re-establish all things ii
Christ" (Ephes. I. 10). Since then his most important acts have been hi
motu proprio on church music November 22nd. 1903; his niotii proprio of
March l nth, 1904, for the codification of Canon Law: his condemnation of
sixty-five propositions by a Decree of the Holy Office. July 3rd, 1907; the
new legislation regarding marriage in the Decree "Ne temere" of the Sai red
Congregation of Council. Augusl 2nd. and the encyclical letter, Pascend
dominici gregis." of September 8th, 1907, wherein he condemns the doctrines
nf tile Modernists.

A SKETCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IN MARYLAND
From Cecilius Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore, to James Gibbons, Ninth
Archbishop of Baltimore and Cardinal.
By JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS.
I. — From the Establishment of the Colony of Maryland to the
Rev. John Carroll.
SIR GEORGE CALVERT, First Lord Bai.timori
Mm' season when days grow longer, the spring sun warmer. White
■ is lay like patches of left-over snow in the forest primeval; tender
gr< a willows were budding f i ■ • ■ ■ ■ 1 > by the brooksides in sheltered meadows:
swamp maples swelled their red twig-ends almost to bursting. The canvasback
and redhead duck were dying northward; the deer were mating and all nature
was beginning to breathe and live again.
It was Lady Day, March 25th, IC34, when the Indians of what is now St.
" ships. The Ark and The Dove, drop anchor in the
water of the Chesapeake.
The originator of this colony of English emigrants was Sir George Calvert,
a cultured gentleman, who had taken his degree of .Master of Arts from Oxford.
was a knight ami a Secretary of State. Strange to
Sir George Calvert, say, while in the midst of the life of a busy Protestant
First Lord Baltimore. Court, whose laws proscribed one's being a Catholic.
Calvert, in 1634, relinquished his seat in Parliament
received into the Church. He then announced bis change to the King
and endered bis resignation as Secretary of State. King .lames granted him
several favors as rewards for his set vice and created him Baron of Baltimore.
in Ireland.
Lord Baltimore, in 1 627, established a colon} in Newfoundland, evidently
as a refuge for persecuted Catholics, but the rocky land and severe climate
ami Protestant ingratitude destroyed the settlement, where religious liberty
was granted bj Calvert to those who held and those who rejected the Catholic
faith. Tims lie was a man far, far ahead of bis intolerant times, a true father
of religious liberty.
We have to thank Lady Baltimore, of the Arundell family, for the first
idea of transferring the settlement to the shores of the Chesapeake. Here the
Protestants of Virginia opposed the settlement of Catholics in their midst, or
on their south, or on their north. And. though the royal grant for land south
of Virginia was recalled, yet King Charles I ordered a patent to be issued to
Lord Baltimore granting to him the territory north of the Potomac to the
fortieth degree of latitude, and from the ocean to the westernmost sources of
the Potomac. This land was named Marx land, in honor of Henrietta Maria.

laughtei of Henry IV. and the Chesapeake Bay, too, was sometimes called

MOST REVEREND JOHN CARROLL.
First Bishop of Baltimore, 1789-1808.
First Archbishop of Baltimore, i808-1815
What the Indian guide is to the steamer shooting the Lachine rapids
running the ship, freighted with a precious burden of life, in danger, past
nearby threatening rocks and shoals, such was John Carroll to the bark of
Peter in Maryland. Orthodox, zealous, discreet, a son of Maryland, educated
in the best that Europe could give him, he was a man of Providence — at the
same time the Moses and Josue, tie lawgiver and the leader of his people.
Hi., forbears were Irish, distantly related to the family of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton on his mother's side, who was a Darnall and who had 1 n beaut
fully educated in Frame. John was bum, IT::.", at Upper Marlboro, Prince
George's County. Maryland. When twelve years old he went to the le.-m,
school in Cecil County, where Charles Carroll of Carrollton also then studied.
•iter a short w hile there, John went abroad for a thorough course of study at
St (liners College, ill French Flanders, and had I n there but a short while
when his father died, L750. During his six years there he won high honors
In 1753 he became a Jesuit, and was ordained L761, afterward teaching
Philosophy and Theology at Liege, and later traveled in Europe for some
months as private tutor to young Lord Stourton.
In I 77:: I'ope Clement XIV suppressed the Jesuits throughout the world,
and Father Carroll returned, 177 1, to what is now Forest Glen, Montgomerj
County, his mother's home, as there was not then a single public Catholic
Church in Maryland, and took up the work of a missionary.
Father Carroll writes that because of unjust, discriminating laws Catho-
lics had become in general poor and dejected. Indeed, some time before, the

lather of the signer, Charles Carroll, had made partial arrangements to leave
Maryland and emigrate to the Arkansas River. Domestic instruction had to
supplement that of the priests, as .Mass could not be heard even once a month.
Father Carroll says, however, that "in general Catholics were regular and
inoffensive in their conduct, such, I mean, as were natives of the country;
but, when many began to be imported, as servants, from Ireland, great licen-
tiousness prevailed. . . . Catholics contributed nothing to the support of
religion or its ministers; the whole . . . maintenance fell on the pii.-sis
themselves . . . the produce of their lands was sucffiient to answer their
demands
In Church authority, Maryland had been subject to the Vicars-Apostolic
of England and London, successively. In 1763 the Vicar-Apostolic was Bishop
Challoner, who wrote that there were then twelve missionaries and 16,001)
Catholics in the colony, and though he thought they should have their own
bishop, the suppressed Jesuits in Maryland remonstrated against this advance.
War is an evil, indeed, yet that of 17G3, between England and France, gave
tin' Catholic colonists a chance to show their patriotism and gain a fairer
treatment from their fellow-colonists, and their growth became more marked.
In 1770 t lie first Catholic Church in Baltimore was built on land procured
from Mr. Carroll, on the corner of Charles and Saratoga Streets, i. e., old St.
Peter's.
The first Catholic book printed in America, "A Manual of Catholic
Prayers," was published openly in Philadelphia, 1771. and "Mr. Welsh, Store-
keeper in Baltimore Town. Md., took orders for another publication: Bishop
Challoner's 'Catholic Christian Instructed.' " This incipient fairness toward
Catholics further increased when the Revolutionary War approached, as is
seen by the personnel of the Committee sent in L776 by the Continental
Congress to appeal to Canada to remain neutral during the war; but the
bigotry of Mr. Jay frustrated the efforts of the Committee and the hopes of
the Congress. Charles Carroll. Maryland's first citizen, was sent with Benja-
min Franklin and Samuel Chase, and, though not on the Committee, yet
Father Carroll was requested by Congress to accompany and aid the Com-
mittee of three. And the war having begun, Archbishop Carroll later wrote
of Catholics: "Their blood tlowed as freely (in proportion to their members)
to cement the fabric of independence as that of any of their fellow-citizens."
And yet out of the Constitutions adopted by the thirteen original colonies
only those of Pennsylvania, Delaware. Maryland and Virginia did away with
the penal laws, and allowed Catholics absolute equality with cither citizens.
After the war was over, in I7s:. Reverend Leonard Neale returned to
in.- native Maryland from Europe, and he. with Fathers Carroll, Ashton,
Sewell, Diderick and Boardman had a meeting at Whitemarsh, where ways
ami means fur work on the missions were discussed, and a petition was senl
to Rome for a superior who might have some of the powers of a bishop. And
in L784 Father Carroll was made superior of the missions in the thirteen
1'nited States of North America, with power to give confirmation. The
newly appointed Prefect-Apostolic had much work to do. that very year
writing "An Address to the Roman Catholics of the United States of North
America," printed at Annapolis, 1 Hi pages, which was an answer to an attack
of a Protestant minister named Wharton
In October, 1784, the priests met in a chapter and adopted nineteen
rules or regulations fur the conduct of the clergy, each priest's salary being
set at $17."i a year. They hoped for the restoration of the Jesuit Society, and
protested against a bishop being appointed. Father Carroll was perplexed;

but In1 sa« the need of a native American bishop, and. fearing that if lie
refused, a foreigner might be appointed, he accepted the position. His report
f Cardinal Antonelli says: "There are in Maryland 15,800 Catholics. Of
t lii's.'. 9, are freemen over 12 years of age; 3,000 children, and 3,000
negro slaves of all ages. ... In Maryland a tew of the leading, more
wealthy families still profess the Catholic faith. . . . The greater part of
them are planters. ... As for piety, they are for tin- most part sufficiently
assiduous in the exercises of religion and in frequenting the sacraments, but
they lack that fervor which frequent appeals to the sentiment of piety usually
produce, as many congregations hear the word of God only once a month, and
sometimes only once in two months.' We are reduced to this by want of
priests. . . . The abuses . . . among Catholics are chiefly . . . more
frequent intercourse between young people of opposite sexes than is com-
patible with chastity of mind and body; too great fondness for dances and
similar amusements, and an incredible eagerness, especially among young
girls, for reading love stories, which are brought over in great quantities
from Europe. Then a general lack of care in instructing their children and
especially the negro slaves in their religion.
"There are nineteen priests in Maryland . . . we think of establishing
a seminary in which they can lie trained to the life and learning suited to
that state
Dr. Carroll's report pleased the Pope, and tin- American clergy were
allowed to nominate two or three names from which the Pope would choose
a bishop for the colonies.
Baltimore in 1 7 s 7 was such an unpromising mission that Father Sewell
wished to leave, when Very Rev. Dr. Can nil dei ided to fix his own residence
there, and "his sermons were so much admired that many Protesl -
attended them with great satisfaction." Me took active interest in municipal
movements, especially in a school then starting, but soon saw the need of a
school tinder distinctively Catholic direction, open to students of every
religious profession, which the chapter of 1786 agreed to start, with tuition
at ten pounds a year. This was the first step toward Georgetown College.
Troubles at this time in New York showed the need of a bishop's
authority, and, in response to a petition to Rome for the appointment of one.
word came for a nomination of suitable men. and out of the twenty-six votes
of the priests in the meeting all but bis own ami one other were for Very
Rev. Dr. Carroll. Hence, on the 5th of November, 1789, Pope Pius VI in
a bill ordered: "We being certified of his faith, prudence, piety and zeal,
. . . do declare, create, appoint and constitute the said John Carroll bishop
ami pastnr of the said church of Baltimore."
At the Convention which met at Philadelphia. ITsT. to Irani. ■ the ' 01
stitution, was Daniel Carroll, of Maryland, brother of the bishop. The sixth
article of the Constitution provides that "no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification te am office of publii trust under the rim..!
States." . . "The vote of Catholics ... in Maryland was in favor Oi
the Constitution." Catholics also rejoiced in the election of Washington as
lirst President, and they presented him a beautiful address, to which he
replied, March. 1790, saying: I presume that your felhiw -citizens will no;

The French Revolution, directed against Catholicity in France, help.- 1 to
scatter the seed of the faith in .Maryland, where the learned and saintly
Sulpician Fathers established St. Mary's Seminary in 1791, and later their
associates did parish duty.
There were now Catholic churches at Baltimore. St. Inigoes, Newtown.
Newport, Port Tobacco, Rock Creek. Annapolis. Whitemarsh, Bohemia,
Tuckahoe, Deer Creek, Frederick. Hagerstown, and some other minor places
in Maryland.
The first synod in this country was held November 7th, 1791, in old St.
Peter's Church. Baltimore, where regulations were adopted for the adminis-
tration of the sacraments, etc.. and in 1791' Bishop Carroll issued his first
pastoral letter; and in 1793, for the first time, he ordained a priest. Rev.
Stephen Badin, the first priest ordained in Maryland and in America. In
1795 Bishop Carroll was at the head of a movement to establish a public
library in Baltimore, many of whose books are now in the Maryland Historical
Society. In 1799 Rev. Leonard Neale became president of Georgetown Col-
lege, and under him, the same year, three ladies started what is now George-
town Convent of the Visitation.
This same year saw the death of Washington, on whom Bishop Carroll
preached a laudatory eulogium. Next year. 1800, Bishop Neale was conse-
crated by Bishop Carroll as Coadjutor of the See of Baltimore.
A remarkable marriage occurred in Baltimore. 1S03. Bishop Carroll
marrying Jerome Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, to Elizabeth Patterson,
of Baltimore.
About this time Bishop Carroll began planning to build a Cathedral, and
asked each family to give a dollar a year for four years. July 7th. 1800, he
laid the corner-stone of the Cathedral in Baltimore, the drawing accepted
and built being the seventh made by Mr. Latrobe, the architect. Twenty
thousand dollars was the price paid Mr. Howard for the Cathedral site. The
body of trustees then included Bishop Carroll. Father Beeston, Messrs. Wil-
liamson, Walsh, Ghequiere, Bennet. Livers, Tiernan and Mitchell.
Two other corner-stones were laid this same year — that of the Chapel of
St. Mary's College (now Seminary), on Paca Street, on June 18th, and that
of St. Patrick's Church, Fells l'ciint mow South Broadway I. on July 10th.
Baltimore is the Mother See of the whole Tinted States, the other
dioceses established by the Holy See in 1S0S, each taking a section of the
diocese of Baltimore, being New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Bardstown.
while Baltimore became an Archdiocese, and Bishop Carroll an Archbishop.
Two years later, 1810, these bishops, under Archbishop Carroll, met in
:i synod and drew up regulations for priests, baptisms, marriages, discour-
aging theatres, balls and novels, and condemning freemasons.
A great seat of learning and religion. Mount St. Mary's College, was
started, 1808, by Fathers Nagot, Du Bois and Du Bourg. In 1810 it bail
forty scholars, and in 1813 eighty, all Catholics.
This same year. 1808, Mother Seton, foundress of the Sisters of Charity
in America, arrived in Baltimore, a recent convert, and in 1809 she, too, set-
tled at Emmitsburg, with a few other Sisters of Charity.
During the War of 1812-15 Archbishop Carroll issued a Circular, order-
ing prayers in lie offered Cor peace and for those in the war. Archbishop
Carroll's failing health forced him to decline the invitation to lay the corner-
stone of Washington's Monument, in Baltimore. On November 22d he
received the last Sacraments, after which He made a beautiful address to the
priests present. When one of the distinguished Protestant clergymen CI

world, the dying Archbishop replied: "Sir, my hopes have always been fixed
on the Cross of Christ." His perfect resignation to the will of God, his calm
and serene faith and hope were seen when his life was almost at its last ebb.
The Archbishop died at six A.M., Sunday, December 3d, is I.".; .Masses for
his happy death being at once followed by Masses for the repose of his soul.
On Tuesday, the 5th, the "requiem" Mass was said in St. Peter's pro-Cathe-
dral, and burial made in St. Mary's Seminary Chapel. In 1824 the body was
transferred to the Cathedral crypt, which still guards its precious deposit.
Under Archbishop Carroll's wise and brave leadership the diocese of
Baltimore, from a poor, disorganized flock, had grown until it had theological
seminaries, colleges, convents, academies, schools, and a free people and
press.
MOST REVEREND LEONARD NEALE,
Second Archbishop. 1815-1817.
Arshbishop Neale, like Archbishop Carroll, was a native of Maryland.
More retiring, austere and simple in character, Archbishop Neale had I u
president of Georgetown College before his consecration. Each morning he
arose at 4 o'clock, and, after an hour's meditation, said Mass. And if
"uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." the same is true of the best of
bishops, for immediately after taking up the burden of the See of Baltimore
he had to settle a parish schism in Norfolk, the pewholders refusing to allow
the Church to be governed by the Church authorities. Archbishop Neale
declared that "the pews belong to the Church, not the Church to the pews."
These troubles were, however, offset and the good Archbishop consoled
by the piety and good works of the Sisters of the Visitation Convent at
Georgetown, in whom the Archbishop showed spec ial interest. Another real
comfort, again a school, was the establishment of a Catholic free school in
Baltimore. And a further joy was the ordination of four priests by His
Grace.
Archbishop Neale died at the age of 71 on June 1 8th, 1817, and is buried
in the crypt of Georgetown Convent.
MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP MARECHAL.
Third Archbishop of Baltimore. 1817-1828
Archbishop Marechal, though a Frenchman, who came to the S< I
Baltimore from St. Mary's Seminary, on Paca Street, won great esteem by his
powers of mind and heart, perfected by education and grace. His love for
study had been proved, for in 1812 he had refused the mitre of Philadelphia,
preferring his position of professor of theology in St. Mary's Seminary.
His first great act as Archbishop was to publish Archbishop Carroll's
regulations about mixed marriages. Catholics attending Protestant services
and cemeteries. Next he began the visitation of his diocese, confirming
2,500 persons, many of whom were converts. The Catholics in Baltimore
had increased from 800 in 1792 to 10, in L817.
To complete the Cathedral of Baltimore. Archbishop Marechal strained
every nerve, raising means not only at home, but also abroad, whence man}

and State. The high altar of the Cathedral itself is a present from his for-

The Church militant in Maryland this same year lost a saintly daughter —
Mother Seton. who died at the Convent in Emmitsburg. And a year before
had been laid to rest one who had served his God and country well — Hon.
Thomas Sim Lee. twice Governor of Maryland. In 1S23 occurred the remark-

and on the ninth day the priests said Mass for her; and, after receiving the

Worn by labors and cares, Archbishop Mareehal failed fast, and, on
December 12th, he received Holy Viaticum, and died January 29th, L828.
His body was followed to the grave by Charles Carroll as chief mourner,
interment being made in the Cathedral crypt.

MOST REVEREND JAMES WHITFIELD.
Fourth Archbishop of Baltimore, 1S29-1S34.
Though a Sulpician like Archbishop Mareehal, his one-time professor in
Lyons, and predecessor in the See of Baltimore, yet Archbishop Whitfield
was not French, but English, having been born in Liverpool, 1770. How-
ever, for ten years before being consecrated, the Archbishop had been a priest
at the Cathedral in Baltimore.
A census of that date shows that Maryland in 1829 had 70.000 Catholics
out of a population of 447.000. Baltimore had five Churches — the Cathedral,
St. Peter's. St. Patrick's, St. John's and St. Mary's Seminary Chapel. Wash-
ington had three Churches.
The first Provincial Council of Baltimore was held this year. 1S2 9,
attended by Bishops Flaget. of Bardstown. Ky.; Rosati. of St. Louis, Mo.;
Benedict Fenwick, of Boston; Dominic Fenwick. of Cincinnati; England, of
Charleston, and Matthews. Vicar-Apostolic of Philadelphia. Bishops Du
Bois, of New York, and Portier, of Mobile, were absent, being in Europe. Of
the thirty-eight decrees of the Council:
1. Required priest to accept any sustaining mission until recalled by
their bishop.
2. Required priest to stay in the diocese they belonged to.
3. Urged bishops not to accept priests from another diocese without

This year. 1831, Rev. Charles Constantine Pise, a Baltimore priest,
wrote a "History of the Catholic Church." the most extended yet written in
America. It was published in Baltimore, where, too, in 1831, Fielding
Lucas issued a quarto Bible and a New Testament.
St Charles College was started on a part of Doughoregan .Manor, given
by Charles Carroll, himself donating $6,500 and laying the corner-stone, and
Archbishop Whitfield blessing it.
This year, also. Bishop Whitfield held a diocesan synod, attended b\
thirty-five of his priests.
When the first siege of the Asiatic cholera appeared in Maryland, while
many fled, the Archbishop gave his house for a hospital, and the priests and
Sisters of Charity multiplied their services to attend and nurse the stricken,

in 1825, and a Sulpician and Archbishop in 1834.
In 1837 a Provincial Council met under Archbishop Eccleston, Bishops
Rosati, of St. Louis; Fenwick. of Boston; Kenrick, of Philadelphia; Purcell
of Cincinnati: Chabrat, of Bardstown; Clancy, of Charleston; Brute, of Vin-

<it money, etc., given for pious purposes, the bringing of lawsuits against
clergy and religious, the collection of money by priests from other parishes
without authority, and ecclesiastical music The use of the Ceremonial of
the previous Council and of the Roman Ritual was enjoined.
Archbishop Eccleston estimated the Catholics in Maryland at 70,000,
and in District of Columbia at 10,000. They had 53 churches.
This year, 1837, the Sisters of the Visitation started a convent in Bal-
timore, and the next year the corner-stone of St. Matthew's Church in Wash-
ington was laid. This year, too, the first seed of the Catholic Tract Society
of Baltimore was sown, its object being to remove prejudice and spread
broadcast true Catholic teaching. This was felt necessary, as bigotry had
brought on an attack on the Carmelite Convent in Baltimore, and Rev. Mr.
Breckenridge had falsely accused .Mr. McGuire, keeper of the Almshouse, or
misdemeanors.
In 18 40 the Fourth Provincial Council met in Baltimore; mixed mar-
riages, missing Mass and drinking on Sunday were decried. Total abstinence
societies and Catholic schools were encouraged, and secret societies, whose
members were burdened by oath, were condemned.
In 184 1 St. Vincent's Church in Baltimore was dedicated, and St. John's,
now St. Alphonsus' was begun in 1S42, under the Redemptorists. there being
then 5,000 German Catholics in Baltimore. The day before the corner-
stone of Calvert Hall, an academy for young men. was laid on Saratoga Street,
west of Charles. This year. Catholics, followed by many others from all
parts of Maryland, made a pilgrimage to the site of the landing of their pil-
grim forefathers in St. Mary's County, where Archbishop Eccleston said Mass,
Bishop Fenwick preached and Mr. William 0. Read delivered an appropriate
historical discourse.
In 1843 the Fifth Provincial Council met in Baltimore under Archbishop
Eccleston. the bishops of Boston. Mobile. Philadelphia. Cincinnati. New
Orleans. Dubuque, New York. Nashville, Vincennes, Natchez. Richmond,
Louisville. St. Louis and Detroit, and the Administrator of Charleston being
present. The decrees forbade the use of any Church for discourses by lay-
men; declared any one divorced by state law, who remarried, excommunicated
' ipso facto;" forbade the rash incurring of debts for churches; commended
the recently established Tract Societies, the erection and use of confessionals
and the prompt and continued attendance on the sick to afford them all the
consolation of religion. Maryland then had a population of 475.000. and
the diocese of Baltimore embraced 80,000 faithful, having 58 churches, 39
priests on the mission. :: 1 engaged in education or special work. 2 theological
seminaries and their preparatory schools. 2 scholasticates, '; colleges, 2 acad-
emies for boys, 6 for young ladies. 5 orphan asylums, 1 hospital. 1 house for
the insane, and last, but not least. in free schools. The gain in Catholic
population was mainly by natural increase.
Churches at Pikesville, Georgetown. Rock Creek, Elkton, Westminster,
C.ovans, Cumberland, Laurel and other places were ere, ted or improved
about this time.
The Sixth Provincial Council met in Baltimore, 1846, and petitioned the

Aii interesting ami comforting incident occurred this same year, when
Rev. .John Hickey. a Baltimore priest, was summoned to court to testify in
regard to stolen property which had been returned to him by a patient. The
('.mi i decided that under the Maryland Bill of Rights no further inquiry
could be pressed upon Mr. Hickey in such a case.
In 1S-S9 Archbishop Eccleston revived the custom of sending "Peter's
Pence" to Rome, and sent an invitation to the persecuted Pope to come to
America and receive the homages of the faithful here. The Seventh Pro-
vincial Council met in Baltimore. IN 4 9. and was attended by the Archbishops
of Baltimore and St. Louis, the Bishops of Mobile, Philadelphia, Cincinnati.
Xew Orleans. Dubuque. New York. Nashville, Natchez. Richmond, Detroit,
Galveston, Pittsburg, Albany. Hartford, Charleston, Milwaukee, Boston.
Cleveland, Buffalo, Louisville, Vincennes and Chicago.
The decrees petitioned the Pope to define the commonly believed doc-
trine of the Immaculate Conception, i. e.. that Mary was conceived in her
mother's womb, and born free from original sin. Priests were forbidden to
marry those who had been, or intended to be, married by a Protestant minister.
Archbishop Eccleston's health, never robust, declined, and he died April
22d, is:. 1. His body lies in the crypt of the Cathedral in Baltimore.
MOST REVEREND FRANCIS PATRICK KENRICK.
Sixth Archbishop of Baltimore. 1851-1863.
Vast biblical and theological learning, skill in controversy and advocacy
of the Primacy of the Pope were characteristics of the newly appointed Arch-
bishop of Baltimore, who had before been Bishop of Philadelphia.
The First Plenary Council of Baltimore was held under Archbishop Ken-
rick, 1S52. five Archbishops and twenty-four Bishops surrounding him.
The decrees proclaimed the Primacy and Plenary Power of the Pope;
urged a censor of books in each diocese, the establishment of a Catholic school
.it every church, the spread of the Association for the Propagation of the
Faith, and the Association of Prayers for the conversion of our fellow-coun-
trymen.
St. Ignatius' Church was begun in is:,::, and Loyola College in is.""..
The Eighth Provincial Council met at Baltimore. 1S55. attended by
Bishops Whelan, of Wheeling; O'Connor, of Pittsburg; McGill. of Richmond;
Neumann, of Philadelphia; Young, of Erie; Very Rev. Barry, of Savannah,
and Very Rev. Lynch, of Charleston. They warmly urged the opening of a
college in Rome for young Americans studying for Holy Orders.
The Archbishop next made a visitation of the diocese, a laborious task.
as the Catholics in Baltimore alone, in 1856, numbered 80,000, and had 13
churches.
In the Ninth Provincial Council a translation of the Bible was dis-
cussed. The Holy See granted the See of Baltimore precedence in all Coun-
cils or meetings of any kind held by Archbishops and Bishops of the United
Sillies
In 1859 new chinches arose at Locust Point. Hagerstown, and St. Aloy-
sius in Washington and St. Paul's in Baltimore were begun The Civil War
was now preparing, though Catholics were neither the originators nor pro-
longed of it. but they were Christian and patriotic. Archbishop Kenrick
ordered the "prayer for peace" to be said in all Masses, and the clergj and
listers hastened to give their services to t\ - sick and wounded soldiers in
both camps. Thirty-four Sisters of Charity left Baltimore together on
the 20th of July. 1862, to nurse the sick in Gen. M. Clellan's army, and
sixty were sent from Baltimore to attend the hospitals around Washington.

having said, apropos of the war, "I hope we shall soon nave peace," and was
found, next morning, dead in his bed.
Thoroughly versed in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, he spoke French. Italian. Span-
ish and German fluently, and gave the Church in the United States a new Eng-
lish version of the Bible, and an excellent Dogmatic and Moral Theology.
Father Coskery became administrator of the Archdiocese.
MOST REVEREND MARTIN JOHN SPALDING.
Seventh Archbishop of Baltimore. 1S64-1872.
Archbishop Spalding, who had been Bishop of Louisville, had written
his "Miscellanea" and "History of the Reformation," came of an old Mary-
land family, and understood our situation well, and. therefore, was a happy
and welcome appointment. After making his episcopal visitation and issu-
ing his pastoral, in 1866. he established St. Mary's Industrial School, on
land given by Mrs. McTavish, and. in a house given by the same lady, the
House of Good Shepherd for fallen women.

of Souls. Books and Papers, Secret Societies and the Election of New Sees.
The subject of establishing a Catholic University in the United States
was discussed. The closing session was attended by the President of the
United States, in the Cathedral of Baltimore.
In 1868 Archbishop Spalding consecrated Right Rev. James Gibbons,
who had been an assistant priest at the Cathedral. Next he visited various
parts of his diocese. In June, 1869, he ordained at one time 24 priests,
and the same year established in Baltimore the Little Sisters of the Poor.
In five years in the See of Baltimore he had confirmed 22,200 persons. 2,750
or 12 per cent, being converts. In October he left for the Vatican Council
in Rome. The "Baltimore." on which he sailed from Baltimore, was
decorated with flowers, and 2.000 faithful went down the harbor with him.
while cannon boomed from Fort McHenry. Before he returned from the
Council, which defined the Infallibility of the Pope, he heard hostile cannon
boom when Rome was taken, and the Pope made a prisoner in the Vatican,
where he has ever since lived. Archbishop Spalding on his return was
received in Baltimore by 50,000 people, and by nearly as many in Washington.

and devoted priests." as he loved to call them, and died February 7th. and
was buried in the crypt of the Cathedral.
MOST REVEREND JAMES ROOSEVELT BAYLEY.
Eighth Archbishop of Baltimore. L872-1877.
Archbishop Bayley, the successor of Archbishop Spalding, hai been
an Episcopal minister, and was converted, he claimed, by the prayers of
poor Catholics, to whom he had at times given alms. He was the Catholic
Bishop of Newark when he was transferred to Baltimore, in 1872. He
established St. Catherine's Normal School and St. James' Home for Boys.
both in Baltimore. His literary work included a "Life of Bishop Brute."
and a "History of the Catholic Church on Manhattan Island."
Though a very handsome man, yet he was most humble, as is instani e I
by one of his soliloquies, said to have been overheard by a priest: "Arch-
bishop Bayley! — Bishop Bayley! — Father Bayley! — I prefer Father Bayley."
The paying off of the debt and the consecration of the Cathedral by
him in 1876 was the goal he had long struggled to accomplish.
He died in Newark. October 3rd, J NTT. and his body was buried in
Emmitsburg by the side of his saintly aunt, Mother Seton. foundress of the
Sisters of Charity in America.
MOST REVEREND JAMES GIBBONS
Ninth Archbishop of Baltimore. 1877-1886.
His Eminence, rames Cardinal Gibbons, 1886-1909.
In this section propriety forbids all but bald statements of statistics.
Of the nine Archbishops of Baltimore, three have been foreign born, two

and St. Mary's Seminary, and was ordained 1861.
He served St. Patrick's and St. Bridget's Churches, and, when scarcelj
seven years a priest, in 1868, he was consecrated Bishop, with North Carolina
as his field. After four years of labor there he was made Bishop of Rich-

THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN
WESTERN MARYLAND
The history of the Catholic Church in Western .Maryland is as rugged
and as enduring as the noble hills amid which its struggles and its achieve-
ments have been met and won.
Back m the days of the French and Indian wars we find recorded the
Hi ■ Catholic settler — John Mattingly —who had immigrated to what is now
the mi of Cumberland. Other loyal hearts soon joined him and filed in the
Orphans' Court of Allegany, on April 26, 1791, is the will of John Arnold,
whose death is the Qrst "t which we have record in Catholic annals.
The first priest of whom we have account in Western .Maryland is Dennis
Cahill, a zealous and fearless Irishman, regarding whom mention is made in
John O'Kane Murray's "History of the Church," and likewise in Father Hey-
den's "Life of Rev. Prince Galitzin." A letter written by Father Cahill to
Rt. Rev. Bishop John Carroll, in 1791, throws a strong light on Catholic
affairs of that time, viz: "I have been successful since 1 came to these parts
Tie congregations are growing numerous, and the members of each mostly
exemplary and pious. 1 attend at Elizabeth Town. Hagerstown, Martinsburg.
Shepardstown, Winchester. Fort Cumberland and Chambers Town (now
Chambersburg, Pa. I , the four former more frequently than the latter. * ,: 1
expect to have four chapels within the next twelve months." From this letter
may be inferred that about the year 1792 Father Cahill built in Cumberland.
c.n the site now oc, ui 1 by Carroll Hall, the old log church dedicated to the
precious name of Mary. With St. Mary's Church, then, begins the history
of all the churches of Allegany County. From 1795 to 1799 the illustrious
missionary, Rev. Prince Galitzin, whose parish reached from the Susquehanna
i'c in.. Potomac, was the only priest that visited Cumberland.
In the Allegany Court House we find recorded the following licensi ■
issued ice Catholics: October 31, ]':<:,, Ralph Logisdon and Margaret Arnold:
September 11. 1796, John Mattingly and Onea Arnold; May 10, 1 7'.' 7 . John
Logisdon and Patience Arnold; all of whom were married by I'. A. Galitzin.
Catholic priest. Demetrius Augustine Galitzin was ln.ni December 22, 177".
at The Hague. Holland. He was i ived in the Catholii Church in L787, and
in 1792 came to the United States. Arriving in Baltimore, he decided on a
missionary lite, and was one of the first students to enter St. Mary's Seminary
in that city. On March 17. 1795, he was ordained to priesthood. Father
Galitzin, after a most fruitful life, died May 6, 1840 at the ripe age of 70
Father Galitzin's work in Western Maryland was taken up by K,\ l-\ 1 s
Brosius, who came to the country with father Galitzin as a companion, ami
al ■ at Taneytown, Carroll County. Not until 1819 was Cum-
berland aide to maintain a pastor ol its own In thai year \ n hhishop Mar-
echel appointed the Rev. James Redmond to this station. After two
most successful labor Father Redmond was called to other fields, and was
-ii. c led by Rev, Michael D Young, a Dominican priest, who remained but
a lew months Rev. Timothy Ryan had charge of St. Mary's for eight years
and was in turn succeeded bj Rev. Francis Xavier Marshall, who remained in
Cumberland for five years in L836 Rev. Henry Myers was appointed to take
The History of the Catholic Cm urn i\ Western Maryland— Continued.
charge, and he immediately erected a brick church and a rectory. Father
Myers was born in 1S06. ordained in 1832. and after leaving Cumberland was
stationed at Hagerstown. Pikesville and St. Vincent's Church, Baltimore,
where, in July, he died.
In 1S41 Rev. Leonard Obermeyer was sent to take charge of the church
in Cumberland. During the ten years of his pastorate there were many ex-
traneous developments in Western Maryland, which gave to Father Ober-
meyer much of opportunity for the development of the church. A resourceful
man and vigorous in his methods, he was quick to measure up to the demands
made upon him. The coal treasures of the Cumberland region, the opening to
the world of Cumberland by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the completion
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, brought a tide of population and prosperity
to Cumberland which made necessary another church.
Father Obermeyer had plans immediately for what is now the magnifi-
cent Church of St. Patrick, and the genius and vigor of his mind is shown in
every line of the magnificent edifice.
In 1851 Father Obermeyer was transferred to St. Vincent's Church, of
Baltimore, and died March, 1S6S, at St. Mary's Seminary, where he had been
professor of chemistry.
The pastorate of St. Patrick's, after Father Obermeyer. was filled by Rev.
John Byrne, who remained but a very short time, having been changed to St.
Matthew's Church, of Washington.
From 1853 to 1855 we find St. Patrick's in charge of Rev. Peter B. Lena-
ghan. Many of the older people of Cumberland remember Father Lenaghan,
and especially the noble work he did during the cholera epidemic in Cumber-
land, succumbing himself to the dread disease, but after a prolonged struggle
happily surviving, to continue for thirty-nine years his successful and as-
siduous missionary and evangelical work. Father Lenaghan died in 1896 at
Texas, Baltimore County, where he was in charge.
During" the period of Father Lenaghan's illness St. Patrick's was in charge
of Fathers Slattery and McNally. For nearly two years afterward Rev.
Charles W. O'Reilly was in charge at Cumberland. Father O'Reilly was a
man of intense conviction and fearlessly vigorous in the expression of his
opinions. Father O'Reilly on being transferred to St. Bridget's Church, Bal-
timore, was succeeded at St. Patrick's by Rev. George Flaut. Father Flaut,
who was born in Pennsylvania and had become a carpenter by trade, was,
through the intercession of the Abbe du Bois, led to abandon his trade and
enter the Seminary preparatory to ordination to the priesthood. His death
followed close upon bis leaving Cumberland.
Father Brennan next took charge of St. Patrick's, and into his work he
blended the genius of his mind and character. Cumberland had just passed
its ten thousand mark in population when Archbishop Kendrick appointed
Father Brennan to his sacred post at Queen City. His enthusiasm and ardor
became a contagion, and inspired his congregation with kindred zeal. The
debt of the church — some $4,000 — was quickly cancelled. A spacious rectory
was erected, a spire put upon the church, a cemetery was established. St. Ed-
ward's Academy was built, and the Sisters of Mercy and the Brothers of Mary
were brought to Cumberland to have charge of the schools. Father Brennan
was born April 19, 1827, in the county of Kildare, Ireland. He studied at St.
Charles College, and afterward went to St. Mary's Seminary at Baltimore. In
1858 he was ordained, and a month later made pastor of Cumberland.
His kind heart endeared him not only to his own flock, but to all the
people of Western Maryland as well, and his memory will ever be hallowed
by its association witli St. Patrick's Church.

The History hi rHE Catholic Church i\ Western Maryland — Concluded.
Rev. .lames McDevitt became pastor of St. Patrick's Church in 1884, but
remained only a short time, when he was transferred to St. John's Church,
Baltimore.
His Grace Archbishop Gibbons then appointed Rev. Michael J. Brennan
to succeed Father McDevitt, and for twelve years he labored in the fold of
Cumberland and added new lustre to the name of Brennan in Western Mary-
land church history. Father Brennan was born at Mt. Savage, Md., grew up
in Frostburg, and early in life was entered at St. Charles College. Later he
pursued his studies at St. Mary's Seminary, where he was ordained by Rt. Rev.
Dr. Becker. His first appointment was in Southern Maryland, afterward
going to St. Patrick's Church in Baltimore as assistant, from whence he was
promoted to become pastor of St. Peter's Church at Westernport, Md., and
from thence to Cumberland in October, 18S6. In 18S8 the Brothers of Mary
and the Sisters of Mercy gave up the charge of the schools, and were suc-
ceeded by the Sisters of St. Joseph, of Ebensburg, Pa. This move was not a
popular one, but with a courage born of economic prudence, Father Brennan
wisely maintained his course, as after events confirmed. In 1S92 Father
Brennan had the interior of the church decorated and installed a new heating
plant. In the midst of his busy life Father Brennan died on July 2, 189S,
leaving the church in excellent financial condition and marked by many
touches of his masterful administration.

After the death of Rev. Charles Brennan in 189S, His Eminence James Cardi-
nal Gibbons, appointed to the pastorate of St. Patrick's Church, Rev. E. J.
Wunder.
Father Wunder was born in Baltimore. January 22. 1852. After completing
his studies at St. Charles College and St. Mary's Seminary, he was ordained to
the priesthood on December 23, 1SS2, at the Baltimore Cathedral, and at once
received his appointment as assistant to the Very Rev. Edward Brenenan, who
was pastor at that time of St. Patrick's.
In 1888 Father Wunder was called to Baltimore, and in 1S91 was appointed to
establish a new parish, and as a result of his successful labor in this direction,
St. Bernard's Church, of Waverly, Baltimore, today stands conspicuous among
the sacred edifices of that city.
When Father Wunder first came to Cumberland his charge included the
district of South Cumberland. Father Wunder was nut long in perceiving the
necessity of a separate church for this section of Cumberland. He consequently
took the initial steps toward the erection of this church, now known as St.
Mary's, and which when completed continued in his charge until the appoint-
ment of Rev. John R. Roth as its permanent pastor, March, 1903.
Fnder the supervision of Father Wunder many essential improvements have
been added to St. Patrick's parochial property. In addition to the remodeling
and renovating the interior of the church, three new altars, one new Baptistry
and a new Sacristy have been added to the church.
The old school building likewise has received a baptism of improvements, in-
cluding a new steam heating plant and new desks.

St. Patrick's — Continued.
Under Father Wunder's charge the roster of the school has increased from 225
to 4uo pupils. The crowning achievement, however, under Father Wunder's pas-
torate at St. Patrick's is found in the erection of Carroll Hall, which is con-
sidered by all classes of citizens to be of universal benefit to Cumberland, and
whilst it is an architectural gem in point of structural beauty, yet above this
stands the spirit in which it is conducted, a spirit which has given to it a
character essentially distinguished for its altruistic comprehension. Equipped
with a gymnasium, bowling alleys, pool-room, reading and reception rooms, it
may be compared in point of purpose with the Y. M. C. A. buildings throughout
the country. To its membership are admitted both ladies and gentlemen and
is strictly non-sectarian, Protestants as well as Roman Catholics being invited
to and allowed the privilege of membership. The auditorium of Carroll Hall has
been the scene of entertainment for all classes of people, including men high in
church and municipal affairs, attracted there by the broad and beneficent spirit
in which it is conducted.
The present assistant rector, Father Sullivan, was appointed to aid Father
Wunder in 1906 — having been transferred from St. Mary's Star of the Sea, Bal-
timore, Md., and to his efficient and artistic musical talent the choral excellence
of St. Patrick's musical program is largely due.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SKETCH OF
SAINTS PETER AND PAUL'S CHURCH
CUMBERLAND, MD.
The site of SS. Peter and Paul's Church is linked closely with the memory
of Washington and the French-English War. The hill on which the church
stands was formerly known as Fort Hill, since historical Fort Cumber-
land, and the old log cabin in which Washington lived for a time was but
four or five hundred feet away. Venerable St. Mary's, the old log church,
which stood on the site of the present Carroll Hall, had been built about 1792,
and for a half century and over was the only Catholic church in Cumberland.
The opening of the National Pike and the building of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad as far west as Cumberland soon brought a number of settlers
to the rich coal and ore fields of Allegany County. Many Catholics, both ot
Irish and German nationalities, were especially drawn here during the dig-
ging, and after the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and soon
quite a large contingent of Germans formed a part of St. Mary's congrega-
tion. The Rev. Leonard A. Obermeyer. a German by birth, but educated in
this country, was entirely unable to minister to the Germans of his flock,
and it became necessary to procure at intervals the services of some German
priest. In this connection Mr. William Gessner deserves particular mention.
This gentleman had been a resident of Baltimore when first the Redemptorists
took charge of St. John's, in that city, and had been a member of that parish.
Afterward he took up his abode in Cumberland, and at once he experienced
the sad plight of the Germans, to relieve which he petitioned the Redemp-
torists at Baltimore to send one of their priests here several times a year.
The request was granted, and records show that from 1840 on a priest would
undertake the dangerous trip by the old stage coach and the tedious journey
by rail every three months in order to preach to and hear the confessions of
the Germans of old St. Mary's.
In 1S4 7 Father Obermeyer became convinced that one church would
be unable to accommodate all the Catholics of Cumberland, and he himself
pointed out the necessity of a separate congregation for the German Cath-
olics, Acting on this suggestion, Mr. M. Wiesel, prominent among the Ger-

mans, as representative of pastor and people, went before Archbishop Eccles-
ton to obtain His Grace's sanction of their plans. The committee could not
agree on the site for the new church, but they would abide by the selection
which the Redemptorist father, coming to Cumberland at the usual interval,
should make. Through a most gracious Providence of God, this priest was
the Venerable Father John N. Neumann. Well might SS. Peter and Pauls
glory in this exalted distinction, and most confidently look forward to ever
increasing blessings of God, for even now proceedings tending to the beatifica-
tion of this blessed servant of God are pending in Rome, and we in joyfulness
of heart look forward to the happy day when it can be truthfully stated that
this saint of God selected the site and planned the erection of our church.
At once the foundation of the church was begun, and on June 4, L848,
Archbishop Eccleston laid with solemn ceremonies the corner-stone of SS.
Peter and Paul's Church, which was witnessed by a very large throng of
people. The building was already well under roof when new difficulties
arose. Certain members favored " a free church" — that is, without pew rent;
others opposed it. In a letter to the Very Rev. Bernard Hafkensheid. Pro-
vincial of the Redemptorists, Archbishop Eccleston forbade the "free church"
movement. The church was blessed by the Rev. Father Hafkensheid on Sep-
tember 29, L849. The following is a list of pastors who had charge of the
church until 1 865 :
Rev. Anthony Urbanczik, C.SS.R.. from April 23, 1849 to 1851.
Rev. Louis Dold. C.SS.R.. 1851-1853.
Rev. Fridolin Luette, C.SS.R., 1853.
Rev. Adrian Van de Braak, C.SS.R., 1854-1857.
Rev. Francis Xav. Seelos. C.SS.R.. 1 857-1 S63.
Rev. Mich. Mueller, C.SS.R., 1S63-1S66.
Rev. Nicholas Joeckel, C.SS.R., 1S66.
During the pastorate of Rev. Father Seelos the church was solemnly con-
secrated by the Most Rev. Archbishop Kenrick, August 1, 1858.
It will be seen. too. that of the seven Redemptorist pastors of our church
Rev. Father Seelos was its rector for the longest period, and to this very day
the memory of this holy and good priest is linked with love, respect and rev-
erence in the hearts of all parishioners who were so fortunate as to behold
his blessed countenance.
Six long years, then, this saintly priest, beloved by God and man. guided
and governed SS. Peter and Paul's, and when the day of his beatification.
which is now before the Sacred Congregation in Rome, shall have brought
happiness to the hearts of many, SS. Peter and Paul's will surely not fail to
honor him whom they once called their "beloved pastor."
Father Nicholas Joeckel was the last Redemptorist rector of this church.
Rumors of the unhealthful climate, as was supposed, of this locality, com-
bined with the wish of having the Novitiate and House of Studies nearer to
his residence, induced the Very Rev. Jos. Helmpraecht. Provincial of the
Redemptorists. to arrange for the withdrawal of the Redemptorists from
Cumberland. On the morning of October 17. 1866. the work of the Redemp-
torists, who had labored so faithfully and successfully, was over in Cum-
berland, and the last Redemptorist was gone.
In the interest of history it should he recorded that it was in the quiet
Redemptorist Monastery at Cumberland, where in August of 1857 the Rev.
Fathers Clarence Walworth, Isaac Hecker, Augustine Hewitt and George
Ueshon and Father Baker, then young Redemptorists, formed the idea and
laid the foundation of a movement which was to culminate in the Paulisl
Congregation of to-day.

Saints Peter and Paul's— Continued.
THE CARMELITE FATHERS AT SAINTS PETER AND PAULS.
In the year 1S64 a small community of Bavarian Carmelites, with tin-
Very Rev. Cyril Knoll as their Superior, came to America and took up their
abode at Leavenworth, Kansas. Two years later they moved to Cumberland,
and the same Father Cyril became pastor of SS. Peter and Paul's Church, and
continued as such for nine years. During his term of office the present
parochial school was built. September 2S, 1S6S, the corner-stone was laid,
and it was solemnly blessed May 30, 1S69. With untiring zeal and most re-
markable activity this undaunted priest at once undertook the erection of a
Sisters' Convent, the corner-stone of which was laid in April of 1S7 0. The
Very Rev. Edward Brennan, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, blessed the build-
ing October 23 of the same year. It was Father Cyril, likewise, who brought
the Ursuline Sisters to Cumberland to take charge of the parochial schools,
which have witnessed such patient, untiring and faithful labor ever since.
During Lent of 187 2 Father Cyril proposed to the congregation the enlarge-
ment of the church. With this purpose in view, the old rectory in the rear
of the church was torn down, forty-five feet were added to the length of the
church, and the two present double-story sacristies took the place of the old
sacristy situate beneath the church. The work of Father Cyril is deserving
of more than ordinary praise, for it usually does not fall to the lot of one
priest to successfully complete such substantial and important improve-
ments in such a short period of time. He is deserving of much lasting grati-
tude.
Strange to say, Father Cyril was the first and last Carmelite pastor of
this church. Owing to the growing missions in the West, the Carmelites
were desirous of vacating this parish, and on the 17th day of July, 1875, the
Capuchin Fathers took possession of SS. Peter and Paul's, and have remained
in charge unto the present time. When the Capuchins were placed at the
head of this church the parish already possessed the necessary parochial
buildings and a house of worship sufficiently large for the growing needs
thereof. Naturally, then, the various pastors vied with one another in im-
proving the one and beautifying the other as well by new and very beautiful
altars, imported artistic windows, convenient pews and neat tiling and a pow-
erful new organ, as also by the installation of modern lighting and heating
apparatus, so that to-day SS. Peter and Paul's is a most beautiful, worthy
and devotional house of God, second to none in Allegany County or Western
Maryland.
In 1S93 SS. Peter and Paul's School Hall was built, in which provisions
were made for entertainments, meeting rooms and social gatherings. In
order to meet the pressing need and urgent demand for more elaborate and
spacious apartments for the various clubs and societies of the parish, as also
for larger class rooms for the flourishing Ursuline Academy, Alpine Hall was
purchased in 1908, and is modern and up to date in all respects, a lasting
credit to both the present pastor. Father Peter, and the parish itself.
These are the various pastors who have had charge since the Capuchin
Fathers have taken possession:
Rev. Father Anthony M. Schuermann, O.M.Cap., 1875-1877.
Rev. Father Francis Wolf, O.M.Cap., 1877-1881, 1S84-1SNN. 1894-1897.
Rev. Father Felix M. Lex, O.M.Cap.. 1881-1884, 1888-1891.
Rev. Father Hyacinth Epp, O.M.Cap.. L884.
Rev. Father Herman Jos. Peters. O.M.Cap.. 1891-1894.
Rev. Father Charles Speckert, O.M.Cap.. 1897-1898.
Rev. Father Peter Kemper. O.M.Cap.. 1898-1900, 1906-1909.
Rev. Father Martin Muelders. O.M.Cap.. 1900-1903.
Rev. Father Constantine Hoefler, O.M.Cap., L903-1906.

REV. THOMAS PETRIE
Saints Peteb ami Paul's — Continued.
Father Francis, as is seen, was pastor of this church at various times for
a period of ten years; Father Felix, six years, and the present pastor, Father
Peter, is just now completing his fifth year as pastor.
Good Father Francis will always hold the first place in the hearts of
many of this parish, and his memory will ever be held in the highest esteem.
We close this brief sketch witli a well-merited allusion to the present
beloved pastor, Father Peter, under whose able management untold and last-
ing good has been accomplished, for the younger members of the parish es-
pecially. In these various undertakings Father Peter is ably prompted and
aided by his two young and faithful assistants. Father Celestine Oswald, of
Pittsburg, Pa., and Father Theodosius Mullan, a native of Cumberland, who
with him are zealously and energetically laboring for the material and spir-
itual welfare of SS. Peter and Paul's Congregation.

CUMBERLAND COUNCIL, K. C.
CUMBERLAND, MD.
Compiled by J. V. McKenna.
Cumberland Council No. 5S6, Knights of Columbus, with a Charter
Membership of sixty members was instituted Sunday. July 14. 1901, and the
credit for its formation at that time is due to Brother John J. Gibbons of
East Liverpool, Ohio Council, who spent some time in Cumberland during
the early Spring, 1901, and by his enthusiasm created an interest in the
Order. Early in May the matter of organizing a council was taken up
with the Past State Deputy. Wm. J. O'Brien of Baltimore, Md.. and a meet-
ing was held in Carroll Hall on Sunday. May 17th. when the principles and
objects of the Order were explained by Brother O'Brien. At this meeting
committees were formed and within a week the work of organizing was
well under way. After Mass at St. Patrick's Church, the institution took
place at SS. Peter and Paul's Hall. The work was in charge of Past State
Deputy O'Brien. The First and Second Degrees were conferred by Balti-
more Councils, and the Third Degree by State Deputy Harry S. Cox and the
Baltimore Degree Team, assisted by Rev. John J. Dowling and other mem-
bers of the Johnstown Council. Between the Second and Third Degrees,
an elaborate banquet was served at the Queen City Hotel, and at night the
rooms of the Wampus Literary Association were turned over to the local
knights, who entertained the visitors until the departure of their respective
trains.
The officers elected for the first term were: — Grand Knight. .1. V.
McKenna; Deputy Grand Knight. G. D. Landwehr; Chaplain, Rev. E. J.
Wunder; Chancellor, Rev. A. F. Marzecki; Financial Secretary, Frank L.
Geary; Recorder, P. J. Seaver; Treasurer, R. I. Birmingham; Warden, M.
F. O'Neill; Lecturer. H. J. Glick; Outside Guard. Chas. E. McEvoy; Inside
Guard. Thos. E. Carney; Physician. R. Y. Fechtig; Trustees. J. P. McMullen,
W. E. Dillon, E. P. Cohill. M. J. Corrigan and Thos. S. Kean.
Cumberland Council had the honor of introducing the late Dr. D. J.
Stafford to this community. He delivered his first lecture at the Academy
of Music, May, 1902, the subject being "Macbeth." This was followed in
successive years by lectures, •■Richard III," "King Lear," and "Hamlet."
His last lecture being delivered in St. Patrick's Hall, May. 1907, and this
was probably his last appearance on the lecture platform.
Cumberland Council has given many entertainments for its members
and friends; it is an active figure in Catholic social circles and is noted for
its hospitality shown visiting knights. It has twice been honored by having
a District Deputy appointed from its membership. J. V. McKenna being the
first appointee, and he was succeeded by Jno. P. McMullen in May. 190S
Cumberland Council had 120 members on its roll on January I. 1909,
and since its institution has furnished the nucleus for councils at Piedmont,
W. Va., .Midland. Mil., and Mount Savage, Md.
Upon the invitation of Cumberland Council the State Convention of
tin Knights of Columbus met at Cumberland in .May. L90S. Tnis was the
first time the State Council had been called together outside of Baltimore.
At this convention two members of Cumberland Council were honored by
the State body, viz: — R. I. Birmingham having been elected State Advocate,
and Jno. P. McMullen Alternate to National Convention at St. Louis, Mo.
This Council has shown its interest in matters educational by offering
prizes to the honor pupils at St. Patrick's, SS. Peter and Paul's ami St.
Mary's Parochial Schools, and La Salle Institute conducted by the Christian
Brothers.

SKETCH OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH
CUMeERLAND, MD.
Rev. .1. R. ROTH. Pastor.
The first church edifice, a log structure, erected at Cumberland, probably
about the year 1792, was dedicated to the Mother of God. and known as St.
.Mary's Church. This log structure was replaced by a brick building about
1837. The number of Catholics continued to increase, and a larger church
became necessary. When this larger edifice was begun, it was considered
well to change the name of the church, and place it under the patronage of
St. Patrick.
As the southern end of the city was being rapidly built up. due. principally
to the improvements of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, another church became
imperative. The cornerstone for this, the third Catholic Church in Cumberland,
was laid September 9th, 1900, and it was placed under the patronage of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, as had been the first church in Cumberland, and, in all
probability, in Allegany County, 'litis new St. Mary's Church was dedicated and
opened for divine service early in 1901. The first regularly appointed pastor,
took up his residence at St. Mary's on March 4th, 1903. Soon thereafter the
erection of a school, convent ami pastoral residence was undertaken. The cor-
nerstone for the school was laid May 24th, 1903. The school opened with 119
children in attendance December 15th., 1903. This number steadily increased
so that at the end of the school year in 1904 more than 250 children had been
enrolled and were in attendance.

ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH
FROSTBURG, MD.
At an elevation of over two thousand feet above the level of the sea,
among the Allegheny Hills, is built the substantial city of Frostburg.
With ten thousand inhabitants the thriving little municipality is
one of the garden spots of Western Maryland, and is appropriately known
as "The City on the Hill."
In the beginning Frostburg was a mission of Mt. Savage. The first
priest that celebrated .Mass in what is now Frostburg, was Father John .1.
Chanche, who visited there in ] S :j » . It is likely that Father Chanche, who
was president of St .Mary's College at Baltimore, at that time was enjoying
a month's vacation, because even in the early days the air of the invigorating
hills of this section had gained an attractive reputation among health
seekers. Dr. Chanche was born in Baltimore October -1. 1795, where his
parents had come from San Domingo. He entered the Sulpitian College
at the age of eleven and had the tonsure bestowed upon him by Archbishop
Carroll when but fifteen years of age. and was ordained in June 1819 by
Archbishop Marechal.
From a professor at St. Mary's College he became vice-president and
in 1834, president of that college. Proposed for coadjutor at Boston and
New York he declined. In July. 1837, Dr. Chanche was named to the See
of Natchez. In 1802. he was one of the foremost organizers of the First
Plenary Council. Several days after the (lose of this memorial gathering
he went to Frederick, where he died on July 22, 1S53.
The first pastor of Frostburg was Rev. .Michael Slatiery in the last of
the 'til's. Services were first held in the home of John Porter. Later the
old inn "Highland Hall," was purchased and partially remodeled into a place
of worship. This was in L852.
These first years were a period of hardship and courage for Father
Slattery, but he was a sturdy organizer ami by reading in an 1 reading out
he gathered together four or five hundred faithful followers. The church
at Frostburg was given the name of St. Michael's. In I860 Father Slattery
was removed to St. Joseph's Church, Baltimore, and died in 1866.
For two years after Father Slatterly's departure, Frostburg became a
mission to Mt. Savage.
In 1862 St. Michael's was in charge of Rev. Charles O'Reilly. In 1 S64
the Redemptorist Fathers of Cumberland took charge and especially remem-
bered were Fathers Wirth and Gross. After the Reiemptorists came Rev.
William H. Cross, who afterward became Bishop of Savannah. In October,
1866, Father Lewis A. Morgan was made resident pastor and remained until
1868 He was succeeded by Father Valentine Schmitt in February, 1868.
And with Father Schmitt came the crowning glory of the Church of Frost-
burg. A Bavarian by birth, Father Schmitt began his studies in his native
country, and finished at St. Mary's Seminary, having been ordained in L868.
And though his first charge Father Schmitt's connection \\ ii li St Michael's "ill
forever last. He built the beautiful Gothic Church which is the glory of
the mountains. Father Morgan had seen the corner stone laid on August :'.
1868, but Father Schmitt designed the church as it stands. The old hall

was demolished and a rectory of the most approved type erected. Likewise
a cemetery was purchased on McCulloh's Hill. The graves of the founders
of Frostburg nave a special resting place in front of St. Michael's Church,
which is marked by a beautiful monument and inscribed:

Aged. 76 Years. Aged, 84 Years.
During Father Sc-hmitt's pastorate, which ende i with his call to St.
Joseph's Church. Washington, D. C. he made improvements costing sixty
thousand dollars.
Father Schmitt was succeeded by Rev. D. C. DeWolf. who remained in
Frostburg until April. LS90, haying been formerly pastor of Westernport.
Fathei DeWolf was much beloved by his congregation, but hem- called to
Europe, he was succeeded by Rev. Stephen J. Clarke.
Rev. STEPHEN J. CLARKE, Pastor.
Rev. JOHN S. CUDDY. Assistant.
The present pastor. Rev. Father Stephen J. Clarke, assumed charge of St.
Michael's Church, Frostburg, Md., April 10, 1890, having been transferred from
Barton. Md., and immediately set about to erect a school sufficient to meet the
regulation of the large palish, with the aid of his able assistant. Father Dennis
M. McCormick, now pastor of St. Joseph's Church. Baltimore. Md. The work
progressed and the corner stone was laid June 20, 1891. Rev. John D. Boland.
then pastor of St. Vincent's Church. Baltimore. Md.. and pastor of St. Pius'
Church at the time of his death, last autumn (1908), officiating at the cere-
mony. His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons dedicated the building in
October, 1891, and upon that occasion Re\ Thomas J. Broderick delivered a
masterful sermon.
Through Father Clarke's aggressive policy of improving the parish property
came the handsome Ursuline Convent, the Mother House of the Ursuline Sister-
h 1. in charge of Mother Ignatius and Mother Bernadine. The Mother House
was dedicated to the Glory of God by Bishop Alfred A. Curtis, of the Cathedral,
Baltimore. Md.. when again Rev. John D Boland. or "Father" Boland as he was
known to the people of Frostburg and vicinity, delivered the sermon.
Father Noland. recently appointed assistant pastor at St. Man's, Lonaconing,
Md.. was formerly assistant at St. Michael's. Rev. John S. Cuddy now assistant
pastor of St. Michael's, was transferred from St. Mary's Star of the Sea, Balti-
more. Md.. in 1905.

Lonaconing, '-The City in the Valley," is situated half the way between
Frosthurg and Westernport and eighteen miles from the City of Cumberland.
The heart of the coal fields. Lonaconing, from the Indian word "Lona-
cona," meaning "where many waters meet." is today a city of eight thousand
souls, of which nearly one-fifth are Catholics.
Sometime about 1835, Henry Knapp and another German settler located
here and were the nucleus of the Catholicity of Lonaconing. In ls4n we
find missionary priests making occasional calls on the scattered Catholic
families in this region. To these sturdy Fathers, mostly the sons of St.
Alphonsus, the organization of the Church from 1840 to 1866 is virtually
all due. In these early days Rev. John N. Neumann, afterward Bishop Neu-
mann, was a visitor to the Lonaconing congregation. In 1S43 Mass was said
in a private house, known even to modern days as the "Stone House." About
1850 Rev. Thaddeus Anwander. C. SS. R.. began to come to Lonaconing.
Father Anwander added later glory to his priesthood by his vocations at
St. James and Sacred Heart Churches of Baltimore. He passed away
November 1. 1893. The next visitant priest was Father A. Van de Braak,
C. SS. R. He made a house-to-house visitation, taught the Catechism and
administered the Sacraments. The zeal awakened brought the desire for
a church. In is:..". Father Brandstetter took up the work in Lonaconing,
making regular visits. In 1858 we find baptisms recorded by Father Her-
genraethe and Joeckel. In 1850 Rev. Michael Slattery. of Frosthurg, began
to come at intervals to Lonaconing -the thoroughly German aspect of the
congregation was changing — Irish families were now settling here — attracted
by the furnaces and mines. Fathers Brown and Carney, of Mt. Savage,
were occasional visitors. The home of John Ryan became known as the
stopping place of t he clergy and his parlor became the chapel. In 1859,
the foundation was laid for St. Mary's Church, the lot being donated by the
George's Creek Coal Company. The Redemptorist Fathers still held services
at the "Stone House."
Rev. J. F. Bradley, during 1S00 and 1861, attended the parish. Father
Bradley was drowned near Annapolis, July 9, 1866.
In 1862 Father Bernard Arrant, C. SS. R.. was in charge of the Lona-
i-iming congregation. The call for the completion of the church became
urgent, prosperity was at hand, ami Father Eberhardt, who had come to
Lima. oning late in 1862, unci. •nook tin- work. Everything was full of
promise and hope, when l lie "war spirit" seized Lonaconing and t he church
zeal was obscured lor a time The effects of Father Eberhardt's ministrations
were inseparable warp to the woof of St. Mary's history. This good Father
died in Philadelphia in June. isss. [Miring these years the home of August

watched t he walls. And then came Father Cross, who took charge in
I mber, 1865. He resumed the building of the church. On Christmas,
L865, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered in St. Mary's Church.

At the end of six months. Father Gross left for St. Alphonsus' Church,
New York City, afterward became Superior of the Redemptorist Church of
Boston, and later was elected to the See of Savannah and consecrated
Bishop. April 27, 1873. In Inn.".. His Holiness. Leo XIII, elevated Bishop
Gross to the Archepiscopal See of Oregon. This ended the Redemptorist
Fathers connection with Lonaconing. 1'ntil 1.868 Father Lewis .Morgan had
charge of St. .Mary's. After this the Carmelite Fathers took charge and
of these especially may be noted Father Phillipp and Father Thomas Mahar.
In 1868 we find the names of many diocesan priests in the Records.
Among them Very Rev. Edward Brennan and Rev. Valentine F. Schmitt,
now (1909) at St. Joseph's Church, Washington. D. C. From May to
August. 1869, Rev. D. C. de Wulf was in charge and was followed by Rev.
Jeremiah O'Sullivan. who remained until December, 1S70. Father O'Sulll-
\an became Bishop of .Mobile in 1885, and died. August. Is:";. Following
Fathei O'Sullivan came the beloved Father James M. O'Brien, who for
thirteen years served God and his Hock witli a faithfulness that can never
be lost to the memory of Lonaconing. Father O'Brien graduate! from
St. Charles College. June 1866, entered St. Mary's Seminary and was ordained
by Rt. Rev. Dr. Foley in 1 STo. Lonaconing was Father O'Brien's first charge.
From St. Mary's he went to St. Thomas Aquinas. Baltimore, and now is
pastor of St. Peter's Church, Washington, D. C.
Father Peter M. Manning came to Lonaconing early in 1NS4. He was
full of zeal and progress. In 1885 against great opposition, he opened a
parochial school in charge of five sisters of St. Joseph's of Chestnut Hill.
Philadelphia. Pa. Father Manning also bought the cemetery, and during
ln~. energetic pastorate did many things of permanent good to the Church
of Lonaconing. Father Manning was transferred to St. Andrew's Church,
Baltimore, where be lias since died. Father Manning was succeeded by Rev.
Thomas J. Stanton, who was appointed September 1. 1892, and took charge
mi the thirteenth day following, and under whose administration many
important improvements were made.

ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH
MIDLAND, MD.
Rev. FRANCIS PATRICK MACKALL, Pastor
Midland is situated in the same valley with Lonaconing, three miles
away, on George's Creek. Formerly a mission. Midland, like Barton, was
nurtured by Lonaconing. Father Manning saw the promise of Midland,
and invited Architect Stack of Baltimore to draw plans for a local church.
Messrs. Merten's Sons, of Cumberland, acceptei the contract to build the
church, and as a consequence on Christmas morning Father Manning recited
Mass for the first time in Midland's new church. His Eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons, in the May following, blessed St. Joseph's Church of Midland. Md.
The new church remained in charge of Father Manning as a mission until
September. 1892, when he was succeeded by Rev. Thomas J. Stanton, who
held charge until 1S9S, when Rev. Don Luigi Sartori became the first resident
pastor.
Vast improvements followed the administration of Father Sartori. A
fine pastoral residence was erected, the parochial school opened, the church
enlarge} and surmounted by a tower, in which have been installed a sweet
chime of bells. In one year these improvements amounted to $:'"
The present pastor, the Reverend Francis Patrick Mackall, has during
the five years of his pastorate paid off all the debt of the parish.

SKETCH OF ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH
MT. SAVAGE, MD.
On the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, aboul nine miles from
Cumberland, is situated the historic town of Mt. Savage. Serenely set in a crown
of picturesque grandeur, Mt. Savage sparkles with industry. Mere is located
the immense industry conducted by the Enamel Brick Company, the machine
shops of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, and many other large
labor-employing concerns, to whose enterpise and commercial genius Mt.
Savage owes largely its local prosperity.
Definite Catholic history begins in Mt. Savage with the first .Mass said
at Arnold's Settlement (now Mt. Savage) by Rev. Stephen Theodore Bodin
in 1793. The settlement was named for Archbishop Arnold, whose grands. ,11.
Rev. John Cronin, afterward became celebrated as a Redemptorist priest.
Rev. Father Bodin, with whom begins the chureh history of Mt. Savage, was
the first priest ordained in this country — May 25, 1793. His death occurred
in is.",::. Like every fruitful seed, the first Mass grew into more frequent
.Masses. Before the erection of a church services were held in Arnold's Hotel.
Rev. Nicholas Zocchi, an Italian of profound learning, frequently visited
our little town, his home station being Taneytown, where he died in ls(.">.
Afterward (1832) the settlement was visited by Rev. Matthew Ryan, of
Hagerstown. In 1S19 the mission was in 1 harge of Rev. Timothy Ryan, who
visited the mission about four times a year for five years. Father Ryan died
in Hagerstown in is::;. During these visits the first church was built — not
a large one — scarcely larger than an ordinary room — but still a church.
About Is:' 4 the settlement was visited during the year by Rev. Francis Roloff,
who was the eleventh seminarian enrolled at St. Mary's Seminary.
Rev. Francis Xavier Marshall in 1829 took charge of the. sell lenient
conjointly with his pastorate at St. Patrick's. Cumberland. During this
period a new brick church was built, which Father Marshall, an ex-Jesuit,
named St. Ignatius. The lot on which the church stood is now a part of St.
Patrick's Cemetery, and was given by Archbishop Arnold.
At this period tlie congregation was multiplying rapidly, many laborers
and mechanics being attracted to the town by the works and the mines \u
addition was built to the church. In is::.". Father Marshall was called to
other fields.
For the next Ave years the church was in charge of Fathers Henry
Meyers and Bertrand S. Peat. At this time in the class as a mission, the Mt.
Savage Congregation was larger than the one of Cumberland. Father Leonard
' ibermeyer, of Cumberland, also attended occasionally, and predicted the after
greatness of Mt. Savage.
In 1st.", the new railroad was about completed; the furnaces and mills
were alive with industry, and the population was near the four thousand
mark. Farmer, merchant and mechanic fell the touch of the healthy prosperity
that prevailed iboul this time Father- Charles c. Brennan was sent by
Archbishop Eccleston to assist Father Obermeyer The importance of Mt.

Savage had been foreseen bj Father Obermeyer; it was realized by Father
Brennan, and by an arrangement of happy import to both Father Brennan
became the first residenl pastor of Mt. Savage, with Eckhart, Barreville ana
Wellersburg as adjacent missions. For nearly ten years Father Brennan
labored in the pastoral field of Mt. Savage, and in 1856 he was succeeded by
Rev. James Carney, who was appointed to the charge by Mosi Ke\ .An
Kendrick. Father Carney was ordained in 1S53, and served as assistant of
St. Patrick's at Cumberland, Prior to his promotion the church at this time
was too small and very inconveniently situated. A new location was sought, and
the selection decided by one-half acre of ground by the Mt. Savage Iron
Company. About this time Father Carney was called away from Mt. Savage
but died soon after his departure In the latter part of the year 1862 build-
ing operations were begun, and the name of the church was i hange l Erom S1
Ignatius to St. Patrick. Rev. Richard Brown succeeded Father Carney, and
remained in charge until June. 1868. At the time .Alt. Savage reached the
zenith of its commercial glorj
Railroad extension had made Mt. Savage the most important town be-
tween Cumberland and Piedmont. The work of building was rapidly ad-
vanced, with Father Brown as architect and superintendent of the building;
and whilst there was no very great structural beauty to the edifice, its con-
venience and location were ideal.
In July. L868, Father Brown was sui i eeded by Rev. Jeremiah Hendricks,
who had been ordained in 1867 by Rev. Bishop Whelan, of Wheeling, W. Va.
Of aesthetic temperament. Father Hendricks undertook the improvi
the architectural outline of the church. In addition to (hanging the slant
of the roof, he added a tower, which gave a greatly improved tone to the
structure. In October. 1ST::, the church was dedicated by His Grace Arch-
bishop Bayley. On July 27, 1875, Father Hendricks died, and his remains lie
n the i emetery under the shadow of the church wherein he labored so faith-
fully. Rev. Patrick Francis O'Conner succeeded as pastor in September, 1875
■. la aed in Louisiana, trained for missionary work, later sent as chaplain in
the army, from causes of ill health he applied to Archbishop Spaulding for a
diocesan pastorate, with the result of his appointment to Mt. Savage, after
a short service as assistant to Monsignor McColgan at St. Peter's Church, of
Baltimore, and a mission .barge in Harford County.
During his pastorate Mt. Savage Hall was erected. Father O'Connor's eccen-
tricities, both conversational and musical, will keep his memory long alive. He
died \|ii il 30, and to (incite the words of Father Staunton in his work on "The
History of Western Maryland." "The people whom he had faithfully served laid
the remains of the lion-like O'Connor beside the lamb-like Hendricks."
Mt. Savage during the summer months following Father O'Conner's
de cih was in charge of the Rev. Capuchin Fathers of Cumberland.
Rev. Edward A. Williams was appointed pastor of Mt. Savage in Sep-
tember. 1NIU. Born in Ireland. Father Williams received part of his classical
education before coming to America. lie was ordained by His Eminence

REV. JAMES E. CONNELL
ST. PETER'S CHURCH
OAKLAND, MD.
Rev. JAMES E. CONNELL, Pastor.
Three thousand feet above the sea. on the summit of ihe Allegheny Moun-
tain, is built Oakland.
The lay history, as well as the Catholic history of Oakland, begins with
I ■:ia. VlcCarty, who owned in 1S4S all the land on which the town now stands.
The survey of the railroad marked its route through McCarty's land, and a year
later the town was laid out and a depot built. A young priest came to Oakland
on a pleasure trip in the summer of LS49, and was a guest of [saac McCarty, and
having come prepared to say .Mass this priest, by name Rev. Win. D. Parsons,
had the distinction of ottering up, in the first house built in the town, the first
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. in what is now the county seat of Garrett County.
Father Parson was of English descent and born in Baltimore, where he entered
St. .Marys Seminary as a student. He was ordained by Archbishop Eccleston
in August LS45, at which time there were not twenty priests in the whole city.
His first appointment was assistant at St. Vincent's. He afterward became
a professor in St. .Mary's Seminary. In 1859 he became Chaplain at Mt. De
tdemy, w here he died in l 899.
In the summer of 1850- with the close of the church at Blooming Rose, and
with the impetus of the building of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad— Oakland
numbered quite a number of Catholics in its growing population, which attracted
to its spiritual needs the attention of Rev. Michael Slattery, of Frostburg. Two
years later a small chapel was erected. Many German families coming to Oak-
land gave a German phase to the settlement, which brought to the parish the
religious offices of the good Redemptorist Fathers of Cumberland, as evidenced
by the names of Fathers Van de Ilraak and Weyrich on the records.
In L855 the mission was in charge of Rev Richard Brown, of Mt. Savage.
Father Carney likewise made occasional visits to Oakland. Father O'Reilly
later took Oakland in his charge and visited it from dine to time until 1863,
aIi. ii he relinquished the little town to the Redemptorists of Cumberland —
notably among whom are noted Fathers Eberhardt, Weist and Gerdemann.
In L865 Archbishop Spalding visited Cumberland and administered the
Sacrament of Confirmation. Late in 1866, with the purchase of the Redemptorist
property in Cumberland, the Carmelite Fathers assumed charge of Oakland,
remembered of whom are Fathers Lewis, Vti Donald and Elias, and so continued
until 1868 when Oakland became a mission of Westernport. Incorporated in
L861, the town has continued to grow. As a mission the parish fell to the
care of Rev. D. C. DeWulf. whose visits were of greater frequency than those
of bis predecessors.
In 1869 Father O'Sullivan. then assistant to Father DeWulf, first visited
Oakland. Popular from the start. Father O'Sullivan soon became a prime
favorite with the Oakland congregation, and with his promotion to the pas
torate of Westernport gave particular attention to his Oakland charge, lie built
the school house and established a school and worked zealously for the
advancement of the Oakland Church.
On April 1. 1872, Garrett County was created bj Act of Legislature and
Oakland became the County Seat. The building of a court house and public
buildings gave impulse to Oakland's prosperity. During Father O'Sullivan's
pastorate he purchased a cemeterj and the blessing of the cemetery was his
last official act.
in May. 1878, Rev. Joseph v Gall en came m Oakland as the first
1 M
Si . i'i 1 1 r's Chi hi h -Conl inued.
pastor. He was enthusiastically received, but the climate disagreeing with his
health he was called away January, 1879. On the day of Father (.alien's
departure. Rev. Joseph M. Frueschler was appointed to Oakland. He developed
consumption, however, and died a few years later
For two years after 1880 Rev. Casper Schmitt had charge of St. Peter's
Church, and was succeeded bj Father Romaine Mattingly on September 10 1882
who immediately planned and built a pastoral residence. In September. 1897,
after a most successful administration by Father Mattingly, he was followed
t>\ Rev. Francis A. Wunnenburg, who made many friends, but was forced by
the climatic conditions to leave Oakland, being succeeded by Rev. James E.
Connell. Father Connell was born in Pittsburg, but was reared in Cumberland,
receiving his early education in St. Patrick's parochial school in that city. His
classical studies were pursued at St. Charles College, where for deportment
piety and talent, he was elected prefect of the Blessed Virgin Sodality. From
there he went in St. .Mary's Seminary, where he made a distinctive record by
his studies. In 1898 he was ordained bj His Eminence Cardinal Gib
received bis first appointment as assistant pastor at Newport, Charles Countj
His brilliant work for the first year won recognition from His Eminence the
Cardinal, which found expression in his elevation to the pastorate of St. Peter's,
where his success was immediate and lasting.
Father James E. Connell assumed charge of St. Peter's Church. Oakland. Md..
in 1! having been transferred from Newport. Charles County. Md.
His first step was to gather funds to wipe out an old debt which hung over
the parish and develop resources which would yield a handsome church. This
glorious wish of Father Connell's, aided by zeal and enterprise, bore rich fruit,
and the magnificent new church was occupied February 15, 1903, and dedi-
cated to the glory of God and the Catholic faith September 6, 1903, the cere-
monies being conducted by that grand churchman Bishop Curtis.
Father Thomas G. Smyth, now assistant at St. Stephen's Church. Washing-
ton, D. ('.. preached the sermon. The debt of the new church, $22, has been
wiped out. as also the prior debt at the lime of Father Connell's induction into
the office of pastor of St. Peter's.

Rev. THOMAS E. GALLAGHER, Pastor.
The pioneer days of Westernport date back to before the Revolution.
To-day it is a prosperous town with three railroads carrying away the output
of busy coal mines and the products of the extensive pulp paper mills. The
Catholic history of Westernport begins, however, not till quite late in its
progress. Sixty years ago the only Catholics were Patrick McGuire and An-
drew Mullen. Early in 1 S 4 ! t the first Mass was said by Father O'Conner, Re-
demptorist priest, at the house of Patrick McGuire. Father Cronenberg a few
months later visited Bloomington and offered up the Holy Sacrifice Ret
Michael Slattery. of Frostburg, began to visit this neighborhood about the
year 1850. when the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad completed its extension
to Bloomington. His visits awakened Catholic enthusiasm, and an old ware-
house was purchased and remodeled into a chapel, and here Father Slattery
conducted services once a month. The congregation grew apace, and the
chapel was soon enlarged. This chapel was known as "Father Slattery's
Cathedral," and stood on the upper side of the railroad.
In 1862 Father flattery was transferred to St. Joseph's Church, Balti-
more, where he died in 1S66. For a time after Father flattery's going there
was nn regular pries; in attendance. Later came Rev. Charles O'Reilly, who
was succeeded by the Redemptorist Fathers of Cumberland, among whom
may 1 specially mentioned Father Eberhardt. Dining his administration a
parochial school was established. In September of the same year i L864) the
Redemptorist Fathers Wirth, Heming and Kness preached a mission here
with much success, following which the parish passed into the charge of
Rev. William II. Gross, who remained until the Redemptorist Fathers left
Cumberland. Next came the Carmelite Fathers, who were followed, through
the decision of Archbishop Spaulding (1868) to place all parishes under
ii -in i sts, bj Rev. I). ('. DeWulf. a Frenchman of superior attainments.
whose energy and zeal awakened great activity among the faithful. The
growing congregation made necessarj Hie appointment of an assistant, the
Ret Jeremiah O'Sullivan, who later, upon the promotion of Father DeWulf
to a Washington parish, was made pastor.
Rev. Jeremiah O'Sullivan was horn in the county of Cork in 18 4 2. In
1861 he came to America and was ordained by Archbishop Spaulding in 1868.
A year later his career began at Westernport. By him was erected Hi" present
church and i (invent and he promoted the parochial schools. Father O'Sullivan's
crusade against drink will not be forgotten. He was the pioneer of total
abstinence, and his work was not without profit, not only locally, bin
nationally. Father O'Sullivan. after nine years' noble work in Westernport.
w as . ailed in ft. Peter's Church, Wasbinuien. 1 1 C where bis ability gained
him great repute, and in September, 1885, be was consecrated Bishop of
Mobile. Bishop O'Sullivan passed to bis great reward August LO, 1896.
Next came Father George w. Devine, whose ministering care did much
for Westernport. Beginning bis studies in 1863, Father Devine was ordained
1ST I by lit. Rev. Bishop Becker, lie came to Westernport from St. .Mary's
Star of the Sea Church, Baltimore, where In- bad 1 n an assistant, and

St. Petkk's Church — Continued.
pastor of St. Peter's Church, Washington, D. C. At present Father Devine
is the beloved pastor of St. John's Church, Baltimore.
Rev. John M. Jones followed Father Devine, and his administration is
pleasantly remembered. The next pastor of St. Peter's Church was Rev.
.Michael J. Brennan, who paid off the chueh debt in full, and was promoted to
the pastorate of St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland..
Father Peter R. Weider, the next pastor, was ordained December, 1SS1,
by His Grace Archbishop Gibbons. His first appointment was at Hancock.
Md., where he ministered for four years. He came to Westernport in Octo-
ber, 1SS5. For ten years Father Weider was pastor of St. Peter's Church,
Westernport — ten years of progress, devotion and popularity. Four years
after leaving Westernport Father Weider died at Baltimore. October, 1S95.
Rev. Joseph M. Walter was temporary successor to Father Weider. whose
health was precarious when he came to Westernport. and who never re-
gained his strength. He died March 20, 1898.
The end of the century history of Westernport found St. Peter's Church
in charge of Rev. Thomas E. Lyons. Born in Baltimore. Father Lyons en-
tered St. Charles Collet;'- September 7. 1876, where he graduated with
high distinction June. 1883. In 1SS3 he was ordained by His Eminence
James Cardinal Gibbons and appointed assistant of the Church of St. Mary's
Star of the Sea. Baltimore. From St. Mary's Star of the Sea. Father Lyons was
appointed pastor of St. Peter's Church. Hancock. Md.. and from thence he
came to Westernport. where he has earned a lofty place in the hearts of his con-
gregation and won distinction for his progressive administration at St.
Peter's Church.
The present pastor. Rev. Father T. E. Gallagher, was appointed September
L'T. L902, to the charge of the spiritual welfare of St. Peter's parish, having been
transferred from St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland, Md.. where he had been
stationed for about eight years.
Father Gallagher, through ability and congeniality, soon won the good will
of his parishioners and demonstrated that a new school building was a neces-
sity, and in 1905 the structure was begun and completed in 1906. Father
Gallagher also set about to gather funds for the erection of the large and
beautifully equipped hall now known as St. Peter's Hall.
During his pastorate at St. Peter's Father Gallagher has been ably assisted
by Rev. Father Martin O'Donohue. formerly of St. John's. Baltimore. Md.. during
the years of 1902-1904, and by Father Heath, till his appointment to the
Catholic University, October. 1908. Since that time the mantle of care in hand-
ling the entire parish has rested on the shoulders of Father Gallagher alone.
Among the societies connected with St. Peter's is one of the strongest tern
perance societies in the country. The society was founded by His Grace the late
Bishop O'Sullivan. and has a membership extending throughout the United
States; especially is this true of the department of the society attached to
St. Peter's, on whose records are names of former Westernporters who are
living in distant lands yet retain their membership in the parish and there pay
their dues.
The Cadets of Temperance, a union temperance society, was introduced bj
Father Gallagher.

ST. GABRIEL'S CHURCH
BARTON. MD.
Rev. JAMES QUINN, Pastor.
On George's Creek, midway between Lonaconing and Westernport, in a deep
valley, is situated the town of Barton, named after Barton. England, by the
Shaw family who first settled here. The coming of Patrick Cadden. in 1854,
was l lie beginning of the church in Barton. In his house was celebrated first
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by visiting priests — Fathers Slattery and O'Reilly.
Not long after this a small chapel was erected on the ground which is now the
cemetery of St. Gabriel.
The Barton parish is the child of St. Mary's Church, of Lonaconing, and
remained in the charge of the Lonaconing priests, until it became of such
strength as to sustain a pastor of its own. From 1856 to 1860 the Redemptorist
Fathers came occasionally to Barton, which visits were renewed from 1S63 to
1866, in which year the Carmelite Fathers of Cumberland ministered to the
growing charge, numbering about 600 souls. Father Phillipp had charge, and
upon him may be placed the responsibility for the situation of the new church,
which was planned during this period. Barton was attended as a mission of
Westernport until 1871 by Fathers deWulf and O'Sullivan. In this year Father
James O'Brien came to Barton and for four years blessed the parish with his
faithful administration, during which time the property was beautified and the
bell installed.
In 1875 Barton had its first resident pastor, Rev. William Mahoney, who
remained for two years, being succeeded by Rev. M. A. Fennp. late in 1*76.
Father Fenne after two years of successful labor was followed by Father John
T. McCall. who remained until August. 1881, when Barton became a mission to
Westernport, and was attended by Rev. Michael J. Brennan in conjunction with
the Capuchin Fathers of Cumberland. In 1*S2 Rev. Peter M. Manning took
permanent charge and remained until 1884. Rev. James P. Carey succeeded
Father Manning, who was promoted to Lonaconing. Father Carey has won no
small reputation as a poet of high merit. He was followed at Barton by Rev.
Stephen .1. Clarke in 1886. In 1890, upon the removal of Father Clarke to
Frostburg, Father Thomas E. Gallagher became pastor. At the close of the
century St. Gabriel's Church was in charge of Rev. John .1. Conway.
The present pastor, Rev. .lames Quinn, came to St. Gabriel's from St.
Joseph's Church. Baltimore. Md.. September 1. 1908.

ST. JOHN'S CHURCH
FREDERICK, MD.
Rev. WILLIAM .J. KANE, Pastor.
Frederick, one of the prettiest cities of Maryland, is situated on both sides
of Carroll Creek, about sixty-one miles from Baltimore. It has a population verg-
ing on 15,0110. excellent railroad facilities, municipal government, electric light
plant, waterworks, a telephone system and well-paved streets.
The main facts of this article are taken from Scharfs "Western Maryland."
"To write fully the history of St. John's Catholic Church and residence is to
give the history of Catholicism in Frederick County. All the churches in the
county have been more or less connected with St. John's. St. Joseph's on the
Manor, and the churches of Petersville, Liberty and Middletown, are its off-
shoots. St. John's is also associated with the churches of Mount St. Mary's and
Emmitsburg, as having had for a number of years the same pastor, the Rev.
John Du Bois, afterward the Bishop of Xew York. By the middle of the last
century a number of Catholics had settled in Monocacy Valley. They were prin-
cipally of English origin, having come directly from England or from the lower
counties of the State. Many of them were tenants on Carroll's Manor, on the
Monocacy, and these formed the nucleus of St. Joseph's parish, at present under
the charge of the Fathers of the Novitiate."
"In enumerating the Catholic population of Frederick one hundred years ago.
the German Catholics have also to be taken into the reckoning. Some Hessians
settled in Frederick Town at the end of the Revolutionary war, but of these very
few were Catholics. There were also a few Irish Catholics scattered through the
country."
"The Fathers of this mission had stations, churches or residences through
Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and a part of Xew York. Most likely Fred-
erick Valley was for some time attended directly from St. Thomas'. The Father
who was appointed for the work used, no doubt, to make long excursions, which
would take in the Catholics of what is now the District of Columbia, of Mont-
gomery and Frederick Counties, along the banks of the Potomac River. After
the mission was begun at Conewago, some German father would perhaps go to
Frederick Town, a distance of forty miles, to administer the Sacraments to the
faithful of his nationality. In the course of time the number of Catholics in-
creased and it became necessary to build a residence and chapel."
"This residence and chapel were accordingly erected in 1763 by Father John
Williams, an English Jesuit. There is reason to believe that Father George
Hunter was the successor of Father Williams. In Campbell's list of ex-Jesuits,
alluded to before. Father James Framback is set down as the next pastor of
Frederick Town, in the year 1773. Father James Walton sue, eeded Father Fram-
back. Father Walton was an Englishman and came to Maryland in the year
1776, and died at St. Inigoes in 1803."
"The small chapel of Father Williams was for forty years the only place of
worship for Catholics of Frederick County."
"The Rev. John Du Bois is too conspicuous in the history of the Church in the
United States to need any notice here. He also had under his care the Catholics

about Emmitshurg. and those of Montgomery County, Martinsburg. Western
Maryland and Virginia, and. in fact, for a long time was the only priest between
Baltimore and St. Louis. One of the first undertakings of the new pastor was to
build a church in place of the small upper room in the residence. This work
began in the year 1800."
"The church was a brick building eighty-two feet in length and forty-five feet
wide, and baying been torn down, in part, in 1859, and rebuilt and transformed,
has since been used by the Junior Fire Company as an infirmary."
"The Rev. Du Bois remained in Frederick until 1806, when he removed to Em-
mitsburg, and from this place probably went to Frederick once or twice a
month. Things continued in this state until Father Francis Malevie, of the
Society of Jesus, took charge. 'Ibis occurred in 1811. The church continued to
grow, especially in the more distant stations, and it became necessary a few
years later to build small churches in several parts of the country. The church
of St. John's was still unfinished and was even unsafe. Father Malevie had the
church plastered in 1812, and the roof was secured by means of wooden
columns. Father .Malevie died October 3, 1822."
"Several gentlemen, among whom was Mr. Taney, addressed a letter to the
Father Superior asking him to retain Father McElroy. The request was granted
and thus was begun a career of usefulness which, if we consider the resources
at band, has scarcely been equaled in any city in the country."
"Toward the end of 1823, negotiations were begun with the Superior of the
Sisters of Charity for the establishment of the community in Frederick."
"In 1 s ii r> it became necessaiy to build a larger establishment for the Sisters,
to serve for a school and an orphan asylum. During this year I 1825) Father
McElroy had as his assistant Father F. \V. Walsh, who was much n teded, as
the congregation in Frederick alone was enough for one priest."
"The pastor had done a great deal toward finishing and beautifying the old
church in Frederick, but on account of the increase in the congregation, it was
thought advisable to extend the front of the church fifteen or twenty feet and
erect galleries. The project was abandoned for some time for want of money.
In 1832 the new plan was put before the congregation and four thousand dollars
were subscribed. To this amount was added a legacy of another thousand
dollars. Very Rev. Father Peter Kenney, Superior and Visitor, was consulted
and after an interchange of opinions, it was finally resolved, in January, 1833,
that the work should be undertaken and the site changed to the lot on the
opposite side of the street."
"The corner-stone was laid in the northeast angle of the nave on St. Joseph's
Day. in 1S33. On April 26 St. John's was consecrated with the usual impressive
services of the Church."
"The school building was burned down in 1845, but was soon replaced by
another."
"Father Thomas Lilly succeeded Father McElroy in September, 1845. The
assistants were Fathers George Villiger. Stonestreet. Meredith. Jenkins. Finotti
and Bogue."
"In 1846 the Sisters of Charity withdrew and were replaced by the Nuns of
the Visitation from Georgetown. In IMS Father Charles H. Stonestreet became
the successor of Father Lilly. Father Thomas Mullaly was appointed the suc-
cessor of Father Stonestreet at the end of 1850. The pastors after Father
Mullaly were Fathers Villiger. Samuel Barber. Hippolyte. De Neckere, Blen-
kinsop and McAtee. The assistants during this period, from is;,:', to I860, were
at different times. Fathers liogue. Duddy and Tul'fer."
St. John's Chubch — Continued.
"In 1860 the residence on Church street was rented out, and the Fathers and
Brothers connected with the church and college took up their abode in the Noviti-
ate, where they have since remained. The pastors who followed Father Sourin.
who had charge of the church from 1860 to 1S70. were Fathers O'Kane. Smith.
Jenkins. Ciampi, Fulmer, and lastly, Father Stonestreet, who, after an absence
of twenty-five years, returned to the church as its parish priest."
"Recently the parish has been in charge of the following pastors: Fathers
Cache. Peters. Holland, Brand, Hann and Gaffney, all of whom labored with
zeal and success to advance the interest of their people."
"The most renowned pastor of Frederick is unquestionably Father John Mi
Elroy. He built a magnificent church at Frederick, where the Maryland province
now has its Novitiate. In 1847. the famous Jesuit was sent to Boston, which for
seventeen years became the principal scene of his zeal and his labors."
In the year 1900 Father Coleman was succeeded by Rev. William J. Kane,
under whose supervision St. John's Church has seen many improvements both in
the property as well as spiritual welfare.

SKETCH OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH
HAGERSTOWN, MD.
The city of Hagerstown. the county seat of one of the most fertile counties
of the Commonwealth of Maryland, was founded by Jonathan Hager, in the year
1739. Up to the year of Independence. 1770, Washington County did not exist
as a separate county, but in that memorable year it was formed out of Frederick,
and since that time has existed and flourished as one of the most beautiful
counties of the State of Maryland, which to Catholics is of special interest, since
it was settled and colonized by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic nobleman from Eng-
land. It was not until ten years after the United States gained its independence
that from Conewago. near Hanover. Pa., which is yet active as a Catholic mis-
sion, the Rev. .lames Fremback, one of the early pioneers of the Catholic mission
at Conewago. was sent to establish the first Catholic mission at Hagerstown. The
records concerning Father Fremback's first acts are rather meagre, but it is an
established fact that in the year 17N7 Jonathan Hager, the founder of Hagers-
town, though not of Catholic faith, donated to him a piece of ground on X.
Walnut Street for a burying ground, on a corner of which a log house was
erected as a place of worship for the few scattered Catholics of the mission. It
is due to that noble Catholic .Missionary to mention that he founded missions in
a number of places between Hagerstown and Cumberland. He was one of those
indefatigable priests who nobly devoted their whole lives to the extension of their
holy Faith. After many years of incessant labors Father Fremback was called
to enjoy the reward of the good and faithful servant.
From the following letter dated 1791. addressed to Bishop John Carroll,
of Baltimore, it would appear thai Father Dennis Cahill was in charge here at
that time. "I have been successful," he writes, "since I came to these parts
The congregations are growing numerous and the members of each most ex-
emplarj and pious. I attended at Elizabeth Town. Hagerstown. Martinsburg,
Shepherdstown, Winchester, Fort Cumberland and Chambers Town (Chambers-
burg, Pa. ) the four former more frequently than the latter. Mr. Hager has given
land for a burying ground."
On May 24, 179-1. Father Cahill bought from Adam Miller, of Bedford County,
Pa., the lot on West Washington and Walnut Streets, whereon stands the present
church. The price paid for the lot was the small sum of five shillings.
In 1799 Hagerstown was visited by the Rev. Francis Bodkins. After him
the Prince Priest. Father Gallitzin and the Saintly Father Nicholas Zocci, to-
gether with the Rev. Father Duhamel, afterward of Mt. St. Mary's, Emmitsburg,
complete the period up to 1848. Then came Father Redmond, who acted as
pastor here for four years.
Father Redmond was succeeded bj the Rev. Timothy Ryan in 1822, a young
priest who vigorously carried on the noble work begun. It nun here i>e incident-
ally remarked that when in the year ls:il and 1832 an epidemic of cholera pre
vailed among the operatives in the construction .>t the C. and O. Canal along
the line at Williamsport, Father Ryan made the most strenuous efforts for the
relict of the sufferers. This noble pioneer of Hie Holj Catholic church not
alone caused St. Mary's Church at Hagerstown to he erected, hut he began in
Sketch <>i St. Mary's Chtjbch — Continued.
1S35 the building of St. Peter's at Hancock. After working with the most inde-
fatigable zeal for the improvement of all the Catholic missions he had founded
in and around Hagerstown, he died on June 2, 1837, in his fifty-third year, and
lies buried in front of St. Mary's Church on West Washington Street. In his
last illness he had been assisted by the Rev. Father Michael Guth, who succeeded
him as chief pastor of the different missions. For seven years he zealously
discharged his duties, when he was called away in 1845, and temporarily suc-
ceeded by Rev. Father Joseph Plunkett, from Virginia. In the same year Rev.
Father Henry Myers, a man of saintly character, and the most serene disposition,
took charge of all the missions from Hagerstown to Cumberland, holding ser-
vices in private houses where there were no churches. His kindly nature won
him friends everywhere not alone among the adherents of his own faith, but
also among non-Catholics. The Catholic Church at Williamsport owes its
existence to this noble priest. After twelve years of the most active missionary
labor he left for Pikesville, near Baltimore, in 1857. being succeeded by the Rev.
Father George Flautt, who for a while had been with him in his missionary
field. The following year, 1S5S, there followed Father Myers, who in the mean-
time had become the pastor of St. Vincent's Church at Baltimore. He died a
short time before Father Myers, his friend and colaborer. Both these men leave
the memory of a holy life behind them which will never be forgotten in the
history of the Catholic mission of this section.
In 185S Rev. Father Edmund Didier took charge of this mission, a man
of great enterprising spirit, who made great improvements, materially increas-
ing the membership of his diverse congregations. He founded a new mission at
Clearspring, where for years services had been held in private houses. After
three years of the most active and energetic life, he was followed by the Rev.
John Gloyd, then pastor of St. Peter's Church, at Hancock. He stayed here,
however, but a short time. Father Malachy Moran came in 18G2, discharging
his duties during a portion of the memorable and tumult tempestuous years of
the Civil War. In these troublesome times Father Moran showed himself a
fearless and active shepherd. From 1864 to L865 this mission was temporarily
tilled by the Jesuit Fathers McDonough. Stonestreet and Janelect, until in the
summer of 1SG5 Father Edmund Didier returned, carrying on his pastorate until
IMA. when he became pastor of St. Vincent's Church, Baltimore.
After Father Didier's departure for his new sphere of activity the Rev.
John M. Jones succeeded as pastor of St. Mary's. He enjoyed the reputation of
a great scholar and linguist. Among the many improvements owing to him,
mention must be made of the addition of the brick tower and vestibule to St.
Mary's Church, finished in 1871. Father Jones also imported from Germany
the statue of the Crucifixion behind the main altar. Three years after the begin-
ning of Father Jones' pastorate. Rev. Desiderius DeWulf took charge, but for
a very short time. He was succeeded by Father Jones, who a second time
devoted his valuable services to the missions. During Father Jones' second
pastorate the Sisters of St. Joseph established here a parochial school. This
school is now conducted by the Sisters of Notre Dame. The school has ever been
a great success and exercised considerable influence in the community as an
educational institute. During his second pastorship, Father Jones also caused
to be erected the present St. Augustine's Church at Williamsport.
in ins:: Father J. Alphonse Frederick became the next pastor, remaining
in charge until 18S3. Among the manj good works undertaken during his regime
was the erection of the Dahlgren Mei ial Chapel on the summit of the South
Mountain, 1SS1-1SS2. Rev. Henrj Voltz came in 1883 ami serve, I until 1S85.
When lie was followed by Hi,. Rev. Dominie Maiil,\.

REV. SEBASTIAN RABB1A
Sketch of St. Maby's Church— Continued.
Although Father Manley was pastor here for the short space of two years,
the memory of his saintly soul is still cherished by the members of both parishes.
Ever and always the priest. Father Manley's whole personality was a sermon;
his life a treatise on faith. Needless to remark he left a lasting imprint through-
out this region. Called to devote his life to the work of Negro Missions, he re-
turned to Baltimore, much to the regret of his many loyal and devoted children.
Father Manley died in Baltimore, October 30. 1893.
In October, 1S87, the present pastor, Father Rabbia, assumed charge. Since
his first arrival by his unwavering activity and zeal, and by his scholarship, he
has greatly contributed to the growth of Catholicity in this community and the
embellishment of the Church. Among the many improvements undertaken and
completed under the pastorate of Father Rabbia. mention must be made of the
new St. Joseph's School building with large auditorium attached; the Crucifixion
over the main altar and the improving of both church and rectory at Williams-
port. He is esteemed not only by the members of his own flock, but by non-
Catholics as well. On the occasion of his 68th birthday, in November last, the
esteem and love his parishioners cherish for him was evidenced by the large
crowd gathered in St. Joseph's Hall. May lie be spared to reach the golden
jubilee of his priesthood, is the earnest prayer of his many and devoted children.
He has as his assistant, Rev. Albert E. Smith.

REV. HENRY S. NAGENGAS I
SKETCH OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH
HANCOCK, MD.
Rev. HENRY S. NAGENGAST, Pastor.
Hancock is situated on the National Pike, one hundred miles from Baltimore.
It is a very old town, and takes its name from the first settler, a certain Mr.
Hancock, who seems to have no other title to historical distinction;
There were Catholics living in Hancock as early as 1S00; they must, however,
have been very few, because the population of the village at that time did not
reach a hundred. The few Catholics residing here were attended by the priests
who journeyed over Braddock's Road to Cumberland, and later, by the priests
who journeyed over the National Pike on their way to the same missions.
The See of Richmond was created in 1S20, and a priest shortly afterward was
stationed at Winchester, Va., and it was from this mission that one began to
visit Hancock, in Maryland. Fathers Redman and Gildea were the first priests
that visited regularly the people of Hancock. Father Gildea is still well re-
membered; he was one of the great builders in his day. His remains rest
under Old St. Vincent's Church.
About the year 1S33 the mission assumed some importance on account of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
In 1833 Rev. Timothy Ryan was saying Mass regularly at Hancock, and one
year later he commenced the building of St. Peter's Church, which was completed
during his administration. The church is brick and is substantially built.
Father Ryan continued to minister to the spiritual wants of Hancock until his
death, in 183S. Up to I860 St. Peter's remained a mission of Hagerstown. at-
tended by Father Guth and Father Myers, who is still kindly remembered by
the old people. Later Father Gloyd worked with signal success among his scat-
tered flock until November, 1862, when he was appointed to Taneytown. The
next pastor to Hancock was the Rev. Michael Dausch. A total abstinence
society established by him still exists, full of life and youthful vigor.
In 1 S71 Rev. Stanislaus V. Ryan came to Hancock. Father Darner was assist-
ant at St. Patrick's Church, Cumberland, and he and Father Ryan exchanged
places with permission of His Grace the Archbishop of Baltimore. Rev. Charles
Darner thus began one of the longest and most successful pastorates of St.
Peter's.
In 1SS1 Rev. John D. Weider came to Hancock and remained until October,
1SS5. Father Weider was successful and popular. Rev. John D. Manly was the
next pastor of Hancock. He took charge toward the end of 1885. Father Manly
spent three years on this mission. Father Manly is at present pastor of St.
Anthony's, Emmitshurg.
November 15, 1890, Thomas E. Lyons became pastor of St. Peter's. Father
Lyons remained here until promoted to Westernport. Rev. Francis A. Wunnen-
berg was appointed to succeed Father Lyons. He remained in Hancock until
promoted to Oakland. The century closed with Rev. Romanus Mattingly in
charge of St. Peter's ami the outlying missions. St. Peter's is at present in
charge of Rev. II. S. Nagengast, who was formerly prominently connected with
St. Anthony's Church, of Anthonyville, near Baltimore city.
