The town of Norwich, as history re- cords, -was settled by a company from Saybrook, .in 1659. One of the first ship- | masters to- gain. dock privileges in Nor- wich was Captain Joseph Kelley, pre- sumably a saflorman of Irfsh descent,, who flourished in 1715. i Of the 300 Acadians who were forcibly | Jgnded in New London Jan. 21st. 1756. 19 were apportioned to the town of Nor-| wich. Several of the old families of the | town have a strain of Acadlan blood. The holy sacrifice of the maés was pre- sumably celebrated * in- Norwich about that time,. for it is a matter of record | that in 1767 Captain Richard Leffngwell | “carried 240 French and their priest from Norwich to Quebec.” During 1781 the French army. while on its way froms Newsnort, R. L. to the| Hudson, to join Washinglon's forces. en- cammed atiLebanon. 10 miles north from Norwich, and the Abbe Robin dolebrated | mass for the soldiers 2§re. as he did shortly afterwards when they had ad- vanced to the flats east of Hartford. Nov. 14th! 1793, a Norwich paper notes that on a certain Friday evening of that month, Mr. John Thaver, Catholic mis- sionary, delivered before a large audi- ence at the Rev. Joseph Strong’s meeting house—the former Second Congregational church, now the Community house— learned and ingenious discourse in which he undertook to prove that the Catholic church was the only church of Christ.” | He preached there the following Sunday evening also. Father Thaver. history re- cords, had been a Congregational minister in Boston. had been converted while on a visit to Rame. and having been ordained | a priest of the Roman Catholic church. he had eome home With the sanguine ox- pectatiom of bringing New England into | the Cafholic fold i A ploneer Catholic of Norwich was Edward ‘Murphy. who did not die until 1824. The first recorded visit of a priest to minister to all the peonle *was in 1836, when Father Fitton. then located in Hartford. baptized a child 11 months old, the date being May 15th. It was Father Fitton's custom, when about to visit a town, to send word beforehand so that the Catholics of the surrounding towns and villages might avail themselves of the longed-for opportminty of going to confession. assisting at the offering of the mass, and ceceiving holy commmunion He generally said the mass in some pri- vate house or public hall. The transfer of Father Fitton from Hartford to Worcester, in 1837, was con- temporaneous with the opening of work on . the Norwich and Worcester railroad, which work brought many men of Irish birth or descent -to Norwich. Conse- quently Father Fitton began coming down at regular intervals, offering mass at places most convenient for assembling the workmen. As the men began to lor cate permanently in Norwich and Greene- ville. bringing their families and estab- lishing homes. Father Fitton resolved to build a church for them. . He selected a site then midway be- tween the two places, laying the founda- tion of the old St. Mary's church early in 1344 and saying mass in’ the new structure. -which lie called St. Mary’s, on Christmas day of thaf year. There were 250 persons in the congregation, it is re- cusded. Early the following year, Father Fitton relinquished thé care of the missions of Eastern Connecticut, Rey. John Brady, of | Hartford, .taking them. in' charge.” Father Brady.came to Norwich®for the first time in"May, 1845, and-the first baptism here was ded -by “him -the. following Aug- n-'!‘n 1848, Norwich was taken from- the jurisdiction.of Hartford, Bishop Tyler himself coming from Providence at inter- vals for a few months, to minister to the people at St, Mary's. During November, 1848, the' Jesuits of Holy Cross college, Worcester, assumed charged of . tbe Norwich .r™sion, Father | Logan coming until ‘May, 1850, and Fath- er Blenkinsop attending to the charge from that time till August, 1851. - In the same year, 'Rev. Daniel Kelley, was appointed the first resident- pastor. He remained with St. Mary's people for fifteen years,, meanwhile raising the church, also enlarging the structure sev- eral times. In August, 1866, he exchang- ed parishes with Rev. Peter Kelley, of Providence. The Catholics of Norwich and -Greene- ville had meanwhile increased to the num- ber' 'of 3,000, 80 the. project to build a néw, and larger church was undertaken. Soon after his coming to Norwich, theré- fore, Father Peter Kelly purchased two lots on Churth street, about the site of the present Cassidy block, at a cost of $10,000,. Ground was broken for a new, church on St. Patrick’s day, March 17th, 1867, but this site was not favored by | the people as a whole and was later aban- doned and sold. Father Péter Kelly wak succeeded, July 27th, 1867, by Rev. Bernard Tuily, who was transferred after a few months. Rev. Michael Tierney, Iater bishop of the dio- Cese. of Hartford took charge, temporar- ily, until the: formal- appointment, Jan. 28th, 1868, of Rev, Daniel Mfilin, Father Mullin .had served as a chaplain during 1 fam’l the Civil war and was noted for his vigor and ability. v . He finally secured, at a eost of $17,000, the present beautiful lot on Broadway, Norwich, where St. Patrickls magnificent church stands.’ Ground for who made the lomg trip to church on! horseback. But these were the “well oft” | folk of that early day; and the major ity reached their church after long and | toilsome walking. Many of the mames of those early Catholics were recalled in the memorial in the new edifica of St. Mary's; ma other names are revived in:the churches in other sections of the town, others are | rarely heard nowadays. Names such as Healey, Browne, McDermott, Corcoran, Plunkett, Dunn, Murphy, ' McChesney, | McCabe, Skelley, Sullivan, Byrne, Lee, | Burns, Roarke, Burke, Ieahy, | Stanley, Mullen, O'Neill, Gal- livan, Walsh, Kennedy, McCloud, Me-| Guinness, Morris, Sheridan, Cassiu,, Driscoll, Kelley, Connor, Collier, Shields.

WEEELY BIBLE STUDY CLASS AT LOCAL Y. M. €. A. The weekly Bible study class Wed- nesday evening at. the Y. M. C. A. proved profitable and interesting to the many present. The topic of the study was A Lesson in Patience and a Need- ed Warning. . The Scripture used was Galations, the sixth chapter. Among the things develaned in the study were the follow- ing: Paul had at another time rem® ed the people theiy bodies were the temples of God. and had admonishea them to be sure to glorify God in their bodies. It was. sugzested that every body is a -sacred thinz and should be used accordingly. Paul expected his converts to treat thelr weaker broth-|Connecticut men is as follows: ers with charity. and patient kindness.! o and God expects the same of us, adhere closely to the Rule” in our actions toward others. we will always have due consideration for them, . According. to the Scriptures, we should be giad to help others bear their burdens. and at the same\ time.. .W® must expect to bear our own burdens, especially the burden of duty, ete. When we bear another- burden, we act in ac- cord with“the words of Jesus that we should serve onme another. A man has no right to glory. in the fact that he iIs superior to others in ability to with- stand temptation, for he owes this abi!- ity and:all of his ability to the grace of God. : X We _should never compare ourselves. with other men, but with God: we will then always keep humble. -The faet, thaf my- neighbor does things that concluding that T am better than he.for most of us “live in glass houses.” ‘The one man of all men that I must watch steadily is myself; if I do this T will have plgnty to do. I am not responsi- ble for apother man. save as I must help him in every way possible to be|. the man he should be; “every one must give aocount of himslef to God.” The greatest battlefield in the world is the human heart; there are two forcss fighting for the mastery In:every life; the forces of the flesh -and the formes of the spirit; one lifts and the other lowers, The only way to ¢rowd sin out of my life and keep it out is to fill my lifc with those things that are true and yoee and noble,” even the things of the swirit. 3 There is. mmch truth n the saying that ‘no honse is big enough for wwa tfi" and this is certainly true of the human heart. If we would live a victorious life, we must be out for Jesus Christ, and enter into His service with enthusiasm. The weakness of ‘the indl- vidual Christian . life is that' it lacks enthusiasm for the things of the spirii. We -enthuse about almost: every other thing but religion: a steady enthusiasm wisely and tactfuMy, directed will do wonders in the kingdom of God. ‘This class meets every Wednesday at 6.15 o'clock. and the studles are calcu- lated ‘to hélp men in their daily lives.
