All Hallows College, Ireland (1842)

Last updated on: October 31, 2010 at 7:41 am By Pat McNamara

During the nineteenth century, Ireland experienced what historian Emmett Larkin calls a “devotional revolution.” Beginning in the 1840’s (and continuing for over a hundred years), Ireland witnessed a flourishing of Catholic life as vocations rose dramatically, and schools and churches were built in increasing numbers. Religiously speaking, the Irish oversaw a “spiritual empire” that extended throughout the English-speaking world. In 1876, one Irish priest wrote that “the whole country may be regarded as a vast recruiting field for sustaining the... Read more

THE ANGELUSCharles Warren Stoddard (1843-1909)At dawn, the joyful choir of bellsIn consecrated citadels,Flings on the sweet and drowsy air,A brief, melodious call to prayer;For Mary, Virgin meek and lowly,Conceived of the Spirit Holy, As the Lord’s angel did declare.Ave Maria! At noon, above the fretful street,Our souls are lifted to repeatThe prayer, with low and wistful voice—“According to Thy word, and choice, Though sorrowful and heavy laden, So be it to Thy handmaiden!”Then all the sacred bells rejoice—Ave Maria! At... Read more

Last updated on: October 29, 2010 at 6:46 am By Pat McNamara

They had three goals: the pastoral care of German immigrants, the formation of priests, and the education of youth. By the 1850’s, Newark, New Jersey, had a sizeable German population, and Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley invited... Read more
