Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Story of Seventy-Five Years That they took to their zealous hearts the first little congregation of our remote countrymen, over which two of their number, Fathers Richards and Phelan, presided during the years that went before ´47, was but an incident that brings into relief the ancient fidelity to their tryst with the fine traditions with which the "Gentlemen" are forever associated. The Superior of the Sulpicians in the days when the question of the new church of the Irish Catholics was beginning to be mooted, was the Very Rev. Father Quiblier, a Frenchman, cultured, saintly, and, as events show, farseeing and energetic. What more logical course of action to so high-placed and zealous a priest with will to decide and power to execute than to place at the disposal of the faithful Irish, longing for a temple in which to worship according to their fashion, a sum of money - $12,000 - as a nucleus of the large amount that would be needed to meet the initial outlay of the undertaking? Nor was the good Sulpician Superior interested merely in the success of the material side of the undertaking. Over to Erin itself he travelled, and, using his influence with the Primate of All Ireland, he secured for the administration of St. Patrick´s in far-off Canada three young Irish priests, Fathers Dowd, O´Brien, and McCulloch. It was first intended to build St. Patrick´s on Craig street, then Bleury street was mentioned, and finally the choice was made of the present site, the land being purchased from the Rocheblave family at the cost of $20,000. On September 25th, 1841, the ceremony of the solemn blessing of the seven corner stones of the spacious building was performed by the Bishop amid the religious and patriotic rejoicings of the destined worshippers. Six years later, on March 17th, 1847, the feast of St. Patrick, Confessor, Pontiff, Apostle and Patron of Ireland, the now completed church was dedicated by Right Rev. Jean Charles Prince, Administrator of the Diocese, and solemn Pontifical Mass was offered for the first time in the magnificent new temple. In 1906, under Rev. Martin Callaghan, S. S., fourth parish priest and first native son of this city to assume the pastorate, St. Patrick´s was consecrated with the ancient and illustrious liturgical rites by His Grace the Most Rev. Paul Bruchesi, D. D., the present eminent and beloved Archbishop of Montreal. The rôle that St. Patrick´s has played in the drama of life for Montreal´s English-speaking Catholic population invests the hallowed fane with a character distinct, dissimilar to any other church, and quite incomparable. Its history is substantially the history of the community itself. March 17th, 1847, is more than the date of the dedication of the first church for citizens of other than French-Canadian origin. Rather is it the historic hour when Catholics of the Celtic strain found themselves possessed of a supremely worthy concrete expression of their collective religious and national self-assertion.
