In 1882 Father Phelan opened Calvary Cemetery, the beautiful resting ground of the parish of the Sacred Heart. The parish was now complete. It was made a permanent rectorship, May 23, 19:17. Those who, twenty years before, saw the walls of the Sacred Heart Church rising from the sands in the midst of an almost nuinhabited district, could not dream that in a short time those walls would form the parish home of one of the largest and best regulated parishes of the State of Massachusetts. The business affairs of the Sacred Heart parish have been ahly managed by Father Phelan. His superb health and netive disposition have enabled him to care also for most uf its spiritual interests. Still, even he needed assistants ; and he has had efficient curates. Those who shared his labors are: Rev. M. E. Purcell, Rev. P. 11. Gollen, Rev. W. J. Dower, Rev. John T. Leon- ard, Rev. P. J. Griffin, Rev. John MeGanghan, Rev. James Curran, Rev. Michael Kavanaugh, Rev. Florence Lane, and Rey. P. 11. Boland.

HOLY CROSS PARISH
Holy Cross is the youngest Catholie parish in the city. It was formed February 1, 1905, by districts set off from the parishes of St. Jerome's and the Sacred Heart. The first pastor of Holy Cross, Rev. John C. Ivers, is still at the head of its affairs. He was not a stranger to Holyoke when he came to Holy Cross. He had served for eight years as assistant to Mon- signor Harkins of St. Je- rome's. May 4, 1905, Rev. Thomas F. Cummings was sent to him as an assistant. The parishioners
of Holy Cross worshiped for one Sunday at St. Pat- riek's chapel. Then for six months, while their own cozy little chapel was building. they met for di- vine service in the High- land grammar school.
Holy Cross Chapcl was ready for occupancy Octo- ber 1, 1905. It was dedi- eated December 10 of the same year.
The fifteen hundred peo- ple who constituted the parish of the Holy Cross when it was formed have become 2,300, They have worked so hard for the de- velopment of their parish that they love it as men love the home which their toil provides.
The parish grounds are said to be the finest in the diocese of Springfield. They oceupy the gentle slope which extends from Dwight street on the north to Suffolk and Appleton streets on the south, where these streets rise to meet
that which is aptly called Pleasant. This broad ex- panse of tranquil green arrests the weary cyes of passers- by and soothes them. Nor are the lawns of Holy Cross merely objects of delight to spectators. They are the play centers of the children of the neighborhood. Indeed, the first public playground in our city was the lawn of Holy Cross ; and some say that it was the sight of happy children amusing themselves under sympathetic guidance on these grounds that gave the impulse which resulted in the present magnificent playground system of our city.
CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
But things of beauty are produced by lahor, and the grounds of Holy Cross represent much and careful effort. The original parish property was purchased twelve years ago for $10,000. There was on this a debt of $20,000 when Father Ivers assumed charge of the parish. Upon the property was the Ewing homestead. It had fallen into decay. This Father Ivers renovated and furnished as a rectory for about $7,000. The chapel and its appointments cost $18,000. The debt which greeted the young parish in the first year of its existence was $45,000. This debt was all but cancelled January 1, 1911. On June 24 of that year Father Ivers pitr- chased from the Holyoke Water Power Company, at the cost of $24,000, a piece of property adjoining the church grounds, which was necessary to complete Holy Cross square. This will be paid for within a year; and it is said that in a short tinc the chapel is to be en- Larged to suit the needs of the growing parish.
The people of Holy Cross say that the children own the parish, and the state- ment is trite, if it be taken to signify that the priests of the parish endeavor to do all that their circum- stauces perunit them to do to promote rehgions in- struction The younger children are taught in an efficient Sunday school, the adolescents in two Chris- tim Doctrine classes, and there is a class of Chris- tian Apologeties for those whose maturity and breadth of mind make it desirable that they should have a scientific knowledge of the faith that is in them.

THE PARISH OF MATER DOLOROSA
The first pastor to take up Ins residence among ile Polish people of Holyoke was Rev Anthony M. Sikorski. Until his arrival, September 26, 1896, the spiritual needs of this large and growing portion of our community were cared for hy Rev Francis S. Chalupka of Chicopee. A chapel on Bridge street, in which the Polish people first worshiped, was destroyed by fire. They met for service for some time afterward in the basement of the Rosary Church. Father Sikorski labored so earnestly for his peo- ple that, like the Good Shepherd, he gave his life for them. Perhaps the difficulties he encountered in organizing his people into a parish, and in providing for them a spiritual home, inspired the name he bestowed on the new church. He called it Mater Dolorosa, the Sorrowful Mother. It was built in 1902 at the corner of Lyman and Maple streets.
Father Sikorski was succeeded by Rev. Stanislaus Tar- nowski, O. M. C. Father Tarnowski, by his gracious man- ner, his energy and his learning, first won the hearts of his people : then he inspired them to so live and work that they might be a power for good in the community. He was very successful as a pastor. He built a fine school, and sur- rounded it by an ample playground. In this school the Sisters of St. Francis now teach over 400 children.
Father Tarnowski, who was a Franciscan, was suc- ceeded January 1, 1911, by Rev. Casimir Cwiklinski, like- wise a disciple of the gentleman of Assisi, Father Cwiklinski is a man of large views and great energy, He has encour-

aged his people to advance in temporal as well as in eternal things. He built, in 1912, a new convent, enlarged the school, and so beantified the parish grounds that they glow with flowers and shrubs and a well-kept lawn. Under the leadership of Father Cwiklinski the Polish people are fast becoming a great power for good in our city.
The curate of Mater Dolorosa is Rev. John Kaplinski, O. M. C. He is of great help to Father Cwiklinski in caring for the spiritual life of 4,000 souls. For to this number has grown the little band of faithful Catholics who welcomed Father Sikorski, sixteen years ago.
HOLY ROSARY PARISH
The Holy Rosary parish was organized March 26, 1886. Its first pastor was Rev. Michael J, Howard Mass in the new parish weis said at first in the okl Second Baptist Church. In 1887 the Ely property un Mosher street was purchased, and work was begun on the most beautiful of the Catholic churchies of Holyoke Many of the people of the city still remember the manence exerted in the ohl days of the Rosary by the strong and charming personality of Father Howard. His people were glad to make sacrifices with him A month after the dedication of the basement of his elmreh he died, in September. : 888.

the parish as a personal gift. He also nearly completed the church. He was called from the Rosary by Pope Leo XIII. and on October 18, 1892, raised to the dignity of bishop of Springfield.
Bishop Beaven sent in his stend to the Rosary Rev. David McGrath on October 17, 1802, The beautiful in- terior anıl the furnishings of the Church of the Rosary make it unnecessary to speak of the judgment of Father MeGrath. He was remarkably successful, too, in the man- agement of the finances of the parish. In 1903 he had so reduced the debt of the church that he felt that he could prudently begin the erection of a parish school; and he made the school beautiful, that it might harmonize with the beautiful Rosary Church. On October 19, 1904, Father McGrath left the Rosary to assume charge of the Church of St. Mary at Milford.
Father MeGrath was succeeded by Rev. Edward Fitz- gerald. Father Fitzgerald, by his gentleness and his strength, his mentat rudowments, and his proiomully spir- itual character, sn won the hearts of his people that they aided him to all but sweep away the debt agamst the church property. The entire city joined with the people of the Rosary when Pope Pius X made him a Domestic Pre- late in December, tatu, One month later, January 30, 1#11. the entire city condoled with the people of the Rosary on the death of their beloved Father Fitzgerald. Since the death of Father Fitzgerald the parish of the Rosary has been ably managed by Rev. John Griffin. Father Griffin's thirteen years of labor in Ward One have much endeared him to the people who call the Rosary their spiritual home. The Rosary has had the services of the following curates : Rev. William Dower, Rev. J. C. Ivers, Rev. J. J. Howard. Rev. John F. Conlin, Rev. William Ryan, Rev. John F. Boland, Rev. Michael Burke, Rev. John F. Griffin, Rev. Daniel MeDermott, and Rev. Gerald McGourty.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION PARISH
To accommodate the Canadian people of Ward One and the vicinity Bishop Benven formed the parish of the Immaculate Conception, They erected a basement as a place of worship in 1903. Of this parish Rev, J. B. Cam- peau was made the first pastor. November 15, 1905. He finished the basement of the church and fitted it for divine service. In 1907 he purchased from the city of Holyoke a school house, which he renovated and made a home of Christian education. This school is taucht by twelve Sis- ters of the Order of the Presentation of Mary. It is at- tended by 760 pupils. For the Sisters Father Campeau pro- vided an ample convent. He also built, in 1908, a rectory. which is considered one of the fine residences of the city. Father Campeau was succeeded by Rev. H. Gelincau, who now manages the affairs of the parish in such a way as to develop to the utmost its resources, That his excellent work and charming character are appreciated by the people whom he serves is evidenced by the enthusiasm they mani- fest in co-operating with him in all that he undertakes for the parish welfare. Rev. G. Potvin, Rev. Stanislaus Guil- Jet. and Rev. T. Ferron have served as curates in this parish.
ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH (South Hadley Falls)
St. Patrick's Church at South Hadley Falls is a mon- ument to the indefatigable labors of Father Harkms, the first mass being said on Christmas day by Father Harkins in a little frame church in that village. There were but eighteen Catholic families at the time. The church was then unfinished. The next year the church was formally dedicated by Rt. Rev John J. Williams, hishop of Boston.
It seems strange today to note that at that tuue there was no bridge and crossing was by means of boats or ferry. In times of high water there was no crossing at all. Sub- scribers to the first baptisms included, besides Father Harkins, Revs. Richard Walsh, James A. O'Reilly, and L. J. Dervin, all cttrates or pastors at St. Jerome's Church in Holyoke. In July, 1878, Rev. David F. McGrath was made the first resident pastor, remaining until July 29, 1880.
His successor was Rev. L. J. Dervin, who remained until December 10, 1883, being succeeded by Rev. Eugene Toher, and he in turn by Rev. John Conway whose fiftieth anni- versary as a priest was celebrated only a few days ago, The present church is enlarged and made over from the little frame church first erected under direction of Father Harkins. There are over 1,100 parishioners, and the church is in a prosperous condition.

HISTORY OF HOLYOKE'S CHURCHES
As the St. Patrick's Church is one of the oldest round about this section a list of the curates that have served there is longer than in the case of many churches of its size in the diocese. Among them are the following: Rev. E. P. Dunphy, Rev. John Rogers, Rev. D. P. Sullivan, Rev. W. F. Smith, Rev. W. T. Hogan, Rev. Charles Duffy, Rev. Charles Foley, and Rev. Henry Hackett. These are given here with no reference to their chronological sequence.
CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY
( Williansett)
Soon after Rev. J. J. McCoy was assigned to Chicopee in 1894 he began the task of searching out the Catholic people of Irish or German stock in the north end of the city. Be- fore formal services were held, he gathered the children for catechism in a small hall on Prospect street, assisted by Rev. Edward Fitzgerald, that was used as a dance hall week days. At the same time Father Delphos undertook similar work among the French-speaking people of this section and Aldenville. The two priests then decided to hire a little hall on Olivine street, and fitted it np as a small chapel, where mass was said-the first mass being said by Father McCoy on Christmas morning, 1894. On September 12, 1897, Rev. Hormidas Hamelin was made the first resident pastor. On the occasion of the taking of a religious census in 1895 by Father McCoy, there were found forty-six families of two hundred and thirty-fonr souls of English-speaking people, and about six hundred and fifty of French-speaking people. Soon after Father Hamelin came to Willimawsett a chapel was built in Aldenville. Rev. Joseph A. Fredette is the present pastor. The brick church on Chicopee street was built in 1898 at a cost of $12,500. This church was dedicated October 30, 1898, Bishop Thomas D. Beaven preaching the dedication sermon. The present pastor is Rev. J. F. McGillicuddy, and the curates since that time include Rev. Peter Higgins and Rev. Michael Walsh.

REV. CHARLES CKEVIER.
ST. ROSE DE LIMA CHURCH
(Aldenville )
Iln beginnings of the church at Aldenville were coincident with those at Willimansett, which have already been noted. It was on September 12, 1897, that Rev. Father Hamelin was made resident pastor at Willimansett, and very shortly after that plaus were drawn for a chapel at Aldenville hy G. P. B. Alderman of Holyoke. The chapel was soon after erected-a wooden building, 42×70, with a seating capacity of 300, and so built that it can be turned into a school building if later a larger church should come to be built. This was dedicated by Bishop T. D. Beaven of Springfield, October 30 of the following year. The sermon was preached on that occasion by Rev. Owen McGee. There were reckoned at that time to be 400 in the parish, which since then has largely increased. The first resi- deut pastor, who is yet in charge of the Aldenville flack, is Rev. J. A. Fredette, who was appointed December 8, 1909. It is interesting also to note that the parish has increased from 400 to 1,150 since 1898. The increasing prosperity of Holyoke and Chicopee make cer- tain further increases in the next few years and a larger church will, without doubt, be suon erected in this thriving community.
SUMMARY
There are at present abont 40,000 Catholics in Holyoke. These are distributed among cight parishes. In four of these parishes the ordinary language is English, in three French, and in one Polish. Eight parochial schools are attended by about 5,000 children. If one takes $34.00 a year as the cost of educating each pupil, one may easily calculate the great mouni saved t the city of Holyoke by the Catholic schools. But the greatest benefit these schools confer upon the city is the development of Christian citizens. For such love their country as they love their God.
Catholic life in Holyoke has given birth to a great number of fraternal and benevolent organizations. These, though not under the management of church authorities, are loyal to the church. And they manifest its vigor abrond by displaying some of its achievements.
THE STORY OF THE NAUTILUS
The story of Holyoke's only inagazine publishing coni- pany is unique and at the same time typical of the city's life and growth. Both vibrate to the keynote of those lines of Oliver Wendell Hobnes', that appear on the title page of every number of the Nautilus.
"Build thee more stately mansions, oh, my sont! /Is the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past? Let ench newe tronple nobler than the last. Shot the from heaven with a dome more wast, Till thon of length urt fred. Leaving the vutgrowen shell by he's waresting sea!"
On Sunday morning of December 9, 1910, Holyoke waked up to find that a smart fire had broken out and got- ten enongh bemtway during the mght to destroy the home of one of Holyoke's very prominent families and reduced one of its flourishing new enterprises to a state of utter disorganization. It was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- ham E. Towne and of the Nautilus. Now people who are in the neighborhood of Oak and Cabot streets are sure lo stop mumnl take note of the very interesting aml unusual building that has risen from the ashes of the old home of the Nautilus. Every day people are asking what that billing is. It is too large for an ordinary city home, huilt too lavishly to be an apartment house, and it does nol proclaim mdustry from its many windows and gener- ous porches. Strangers usually decide that it is a school house-and that is not a bad guess either. For years the Noutilns office has been known as the high school annex because its editor. Mrs. Elizabeth Towne, insists that all of her employes shall have been trained in some high school.
The very unusual home is ideal for its purpose. There is no makeshift almut it. It was planned to be the business home of the Nautilus, and the domestic home of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Towne, From the stock room to the great fourth floor, spaces yel undeveloped, the build- ing meets the needs for which it is used.
