Download or read book Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh written by Mary Ann Knochel and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formally established in 1843, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh traces its history back to April 1754, when the first Eucharistic Liturgy was celebrated within what is now Pittsburgh. Franciscan friar Denys Baron established the first Catholic house of worship in this part of the world and dedicated it in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He constructed his small parish at the forks of the Ohio River, and from his meticulous records of baptisms, births, and deaths, there is evidence that he ministered not only to the soldiers of Fort Duquesne, but to people of Native American, Irish, and English descent as well. Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh illustrates how the seeds planted by this first humble faith community grew a rich Catholic tradition nurtured by ©migr©s from myriad European countries, who brought with them traditions and an unwavering faith that has enriched the southwestern area of Pennsylvania for more than 250 years.

Download or read book Pittsburgh Irish written by Gerard F. O'Neil and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presbyterians from the Irish province of Ulster were among the first to push the wild frontier west and found the city of Pittsburgh. By the 1840s, the flow of Irish Catholic immigrants had become a flood. Fleeing the great hunger and facing resentment in the city, they established themselves as key members of the community, building railroads and canals and establishing schools, hospitals and fraternal orders. During the Civil War, 156 women, many of them Irish, made the ultimate sacrifice for their new country when the Allegheny Arsenal exploded. The Fenians fought Southern Rebels under a green flag and made a little-known invasion of Canada in 1866. In the twentieth century, the sons and daughters of Erin took on roles as political leaders, labor agitators and entrepreneurs. Exploring tales of saints, sinners and visionaries, author Gerard F. O'Neil offers a beguiling and fascinating history of the Pittsburgh Irish.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Researches: In Western Pennsylvania, Principally Catholic I, in common with many others, have long felt that far too little interest is manifested in collecting and preserving the records of the past, especially among Catholics. In the beginning of the Church in this country the number of the clergy, upon whom this work would naturally devolve, was so small, and the field of their labors so 'ex tensive, that little time could be expended, on any other than their strict ministerial duties; and even now, when their numbers have greatly increased, their labors are scarcely less arduous. To some persons, too, this work does not seem of much importance. But to be convinced of the error of such a view, it is only necessary to ask ourselves, what would not the nations, cities and dioceses of old Europe give for a complete detailed history of their past? Yet it is buried in an oblivion from which the patience and industry of man labor in vain to rescue it. These nations began their political anm religious existence at a time long anterior to the invention of printing, and all that is known of them are the meagre details that have been.
