There is a peculiar charm about old St. John's Church which highly endears it to even thousands of Albany's Catholic families who are not of its present parishioners. It has been the old landmark of Catholicity in Southern Albany, and the ivy that creeps over its old, but substantial, walls carries the minds of all back half a century.

ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH .- In the year 1842 there were but two Catholic churches in Albany, St. Mary's, on Lodge street, and St. John's, on Dallius street.

The Catholics in the northern part of the city had already greatly increased in numbers, and it was found necessary to provide more ample church accommodation for them.

A meeting for the purpose of considering the erection of a new church was called in the early part of the summer of 1842.

Father Schneller, the Pastor of St. Mary's, pre- sided. At this meeting it was resolved to purchase a site for a new church, on the northeast corner of North Pearl and Lumber streets.

The lot was accordingly secured, and the corner- stone of the first St. Joseph's Church was laid on the afternoon of July 25, 1842.

The work was pushed forward rapidly, and com- pleted at a cost of $28,000, and dedicated May 7, 1843, by Right Rev. John Hughes.

Father Schneller retained the charge of the newly- formed congregation, and Father Newell, Father Havermans, of Troy, and Father Hogan, attended to their spiritual wants for several months.

The Rev. John J. Conroy, then a young priest, but very lately ordained, was appointed the first regular Pastor, and was installed in the pastoral charge by Bishop Hughes, March 25, 1844.

The parish made rapid progress under his zeal- ous administration. He erected the building on North Pearl street, known as the Girls' Orphan Asylum, established schools for both boys and girls, and erected a handsome parochial residence on the northwest corner of North Pearl and Lum- ber streets.

The congregation increased steadily during the next ten years, and at the end of that period the church edifice becoming inadequate for the Catholic population of the parish, the Pastor resolved to build a new church of more ample proportions, and of more artistic and. elaborate design. With this intention, the large plot of ground bounded by Ten Broeck, Second, and First streets, was pur- chased for the sum of $45,000.

The plans of the church were drawn by Patrick Keeley, the celebrated architect, who had built the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, of this

city, and many of the more elaborate churches throughout the country.

Ground was broken for the new church in the fall of 1855. The corner-stone was laid by Right Rev. Bishop McCloskey, June 1, 1856. Besides the Pastor, sixteen other priests were present on . this occasion. The ceremony was witnessed by over 12,000 people.

The church was completed in 1860.

This edifice, which has justly. been consid- ered one of the most beautiful churches in the country, is of medieval architecture.

It is 212 feet in length by 116 feet in width, and is built of blue limestone, trimmed with French Caen stone. There are fourteen marble columns, of which ten are monoliths. The three altars are likewise of marble, and are in themselves beautiful works of art.

Its stained-glass windows illustrate nearly all the principal events in the life of the Redeemer.

The stations of the cross, which attract univer- sal attention, were imported from Munich. The roof of the church is that style which is known as the open roof, and is carved and adorned in the most elaborate manner. The total cost of the structure is estimated at $250,000.

The organ, which was built by Wilcox & Sim- mons, of Boston, was, when placed in the church, the second largest in the United States. It is an instrument of rare power and sweetness of tone. Mlle. Emma La Jeunesse (now Mme. Albani) was organist and head soprano in this church for several years.

The church has three towers-one in front, not yet fully completed, and two in the rear.

During the building of this church an accident occurred, in which a carpenter named Murphy was killed, and his brother and several others were seriously injured.

Before the pews were placed in the edifice, a great fair was held, in which the other churches of the city took part, and at which a large amount was realized.

The building was completed in the spring of 1860, and dedicated May 13, 1860. The cere- mony of blessing the new edifice was performed by Bishop McCloskey. Bishop Fitzpatrick, of Boston, celebrated the Pontifical High Mass, and the sermon was delivered by Archbishop Hughes. There were present at the ceremony all the Bishops of the Province, and also Bishop Mullock, of New- foundland. Pontifical Vespers were celebrated in the evening, and a discourse was delivered by Bishop Timon, of Buffalo.

The Caen stone used in the trimmings of the church suffered greatly from the inclemency of the weather, and in 1866 they had so crumbled that it was necessary to remove a large portion of them, and to substitute, in their place, at a great cost, Ohio sandstone,

The church was also struck twice by lightning, and the two rear towers and the organ were con- siderably damaged.

In 1865, the Holy See appointed the V. R. J. J. Conroy, successor, as Bishop of Albany, to Rt.

HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF ALBANY.

Rev. John McCloskey, who had been appointed to the Archiepiscopal See of New York, made vacant by the death of Archbishop Hughes.

Father Conroy was installed as thesecond Bishop of Albany, October 15, 1865.

After his elevation to the Episcopacy, Bishop Conroy retained the title of Pastor of St. Joseph's, and held it until he resigned the administration of the diocese in 1874.

About this time, St. Joseph's old church, which had been, since the dedication of the new church, used for a boys' school, was sold to the Albany Steam Bakery Company, and the proceeds paid off the debt of the new edifice. The pastoral residence had already been sold, and the proceeds used for the same purpose.

In 1871, a large and commodious school-house for boys, with all modern improvements, was erected on the northwest corner of North Pearl and Colonie streets, at a cost, including ground, building and furniture, of $46,000.

The School is under the charge of the Christian Brothers.

There are eight teachers and a daily attendance of between five and six hundred boys. The tuition is entirely gratuitous.

There is also a flourishing day school for girls tanght by the Sisters of Charity, with a daily attend- ance of four hundred pupils.

There is likewise an Industrial School under the care of the Sisters, in which girls are taught to sew and dress-make. There are ten teachers in the school.

The church was incorporated in 1878.

St. Joseph's Parish was twice divided, at the re- quest of Father T. M. A. Burke, the present Pastor.

All that portion north of Pleasant street was formed into the Parish of the Sacred Heart, North Albany, and that portion west of Knox street was ceded to St. Patrick's Parish.

Many improvements have been made around the church, the grounds have been beautified, and $33,500 of the indebtedness has been paid.

The schools-both boys and girls-are in a flourishing condition, and the congregation is wide- ly known for its generosity, culture and piety.

CHURCH OF THE HOLY CROSS (German), corner of Hamilton and Philip streets .- The founda- tions of this church were begun in 1849, and the comer-stone was laid May 12, 1850. It was finished and consecrated in 1852, Father Noethen, Pastor, who remained till 1878, when he was succeeded by the present Pastor, Father Ottenhaus. The present congregation of this church is comparatively small, but it has had the unusual honor and usefulness of being the parent of three prosperons neighboring churches, whose founders went out successively from its midst, the mother-church often being so full there was hardly standing room; viz., Our Lady of Angels, in 1868; Church of the Assumption, in 1869; and Our Lady Help of Christians, in 1880.

ST. ANN'S CHURCH, northeast corner Fourth ave- nue and Franklin street, Rev. Edward A. Terry, LL. D., Pastor.

The corner-stone of St. Ann's Church bears the date 1867.

It was laid in the summer of that year by Right Rev. John J. Conroy, then Bishop of Albany. The edifice was dedicated December 20, 1868. The parish was formed in 1866, and comprised por- tions to the south of the cathedral parish and that of St. John's. The first Pastor was Rev. Thos. Doran, who had previously been in charge of St. . Mary's, Chapel street.

The church and parsonage were built on prop- erty donated to the congregation by John Tracey, Esq., who became one of the first trustees. His associates were Thomas Kearnan, John Carmody and James Coyle.

The present Pastor, Rev. Dr. Terry, assumed charge Tuesday, September 22, 1880. His prede- cessor died July 4th of the same year. Dr. Terry was transferred from the curacy of St. John's Church, Utica, where he had officiated for five years. He had formerly been Professor of Dogmatic Theology and Scripture in Mount St. Mary's College, Em- mettsburg, Md., and he was affiliated to the diocese of Albany by Right Rev. Bishop McNeirny.

The present congregation of St. Ann's numbers about twenty-five hundred. It is in a most flour- ishing condition, its funded debt having been re- duced from $18,oco to $11, COO.

The Pastor's work proper is very much aided by the many societies into which he has formed the members, old and young. There are no less than ten of these associations, none of them numbering less than one hundred members. Chief among these societies are the Sunday-school Union, the St. Vin- cent de Paul Society, and the Ladies' Aid Society.

The present roll of the Sunday-school shows a maximum of 650 names, and an average attend- ance of more than 600. The Pastor invariably pre- sides during the hours of Sunday-school.

The choir of the church is one of its attractive features. It comprises a double quartette and a chorus of sixty-five voices. Mr. Charles Kresser is Organist, and Mr. John Klein, Director.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH, Central avenue, corner of Perry street, was consecrated August 30, 1868. Priests: A. McGeough, 1859-64; Felix McGinn, 1865-71; P. J. Smith, 1874 to present time.

OUR LADY OF ANGELS CHURCH (German), Central avenue, corner of Robin street, was erected in 1868. Priests: Francis Neubauer, 1869-77; Pius Kotterer, 1878-79; Maurice Bierl, 1880-83; Cæsar Cucchia- rini, 1883 to present time.

CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION was purchased by the French Catholics from the First African Baptist Society, and dedicated in 1869. Priests: M. La Porte, 1870-72; M. Dugas, 1873; C. M. Lesage, 1874-76; P. O. Renaud, 1877; Joseph Brouillet, 1878-81; Clovis Therbault, 1882-83; G. Hulber- daull, 1883 to present time.

OUR LADY HELP OF CHRISTIANS. - The congrega- tion, Our Lady Help of Christians, is the out- growth of Holy Cross Church. It was begun and established in the year 1873 by the Rev. Theodore Noethen, Vicar-General for the Germans in the diocese of Albany.

It was regarded as a matter of necessity, from the fact that the church edifice of Holy Cross had gradually become too small for rapidly increasing congregation. One roof could no longer give satisfactory shelter to all.

In April, 1873, purchase was made of the prop- erty on Second avenue. A frame building found standing upon the site was at once trans- formed into a temporary chapel. In the fall of the same year this chapel was dedicated by the Very Rev. Theodore Noethen. Services were held every Sunday at 8. 30 A. M., Very Rev. Theodore Noethen and his assistant, Rev. Stephen A. Preisser, alter- nating.

There was also a school connected with the chapel, John Hess acting in the capacity of teacher.

In June, 1874, the chapel was separated from its connection with Holy Cross Church, and Rev. Stephen A. Preisser placed in charge of the newly- created congregation as its first Pastor. The old structure was at once enlarged by the addition of an extension in the rear and to the side. In August of the same year, other property was ac- quired on Krank street, and a commodious school- house erected on the grounds.

The corner-stone of the present church was laid on the 28th of June, 1880, by the Right Rev. Francis McNeirny, Bishop of Albany, assisted by a number of priests from the city and other parts of the diocese.

The church was completed, dedicated and opened for service on the 28th of August, 1881, Right Rev. Francis McNeirny, Bishop of Albany, per- forming the ceremonies, and Revs. M. J. Decker of Erie, Pa., and John Walsh, of Albany, occupy- ing the pulpit respectively, the first in the morning, and the latter in the evening.

In 1882, the Sisters of St. Francis, from St. An- thony's Convent, Syracuse, N. Y., were invited by the Rev. Stephen A. Preisser to take charge of the school, and have since then labored faithfully, worked earnestly, and accomplished much in the furtherance and promotion of education and man- ners, religion and learning, among the little ones under their supervision. In March, 1883, Rev. Stephen A. Preisser, after over nine years of labor, was appointed to take charge of St. Peter's Church, Oswego, N. Y., and Rev. Henry Cluver, from St. Joseph's Church, Schenectady, N. Y., was appointed to fill the vacancy at Our Lady Help of Christians, at Albany.

THE PARISH OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS was established on August 5, 1884, by the Right Rev. F. McNeirny, Bishop of Albany.

The limits of the parish are Hart's Road on the north, Pleasant street on the south, City Line on the east, and Loudonville on the West. The Bish- op appointed Rev. Francis J. Maguire to be first Pastor of this parish. With a Catholic population of nearly eighteen hundred souls, the Pastor began his labors at once. A parcel of land situate on North Pearl street, and comprising sixteen building lots, had been secured at a cost of nearly seven thousand dollars. The debt thus incurred was the only financial possession of the new parish when Father Maguire assumed the pastorate. Unlike

some large undertakings, the work of the Sacred Heart Parish was from the beginning marked by a cautiousness and prudence which have resulted in a success which has surpassed expectation. Instead of launching into a scheme entailing elaborate buildings and a grand church debt, a temporary chapel was at once erected on Erie street. Here, at a cost of about sixteen hundred dollars, accommo- dations for the congregation were secured.

So rapid was the growth of the parish, that the securing of more church room soon became an imperative necessity. It was then thought best to proceed with the erection of the parish church. There was no prospect of bringing a work of such magnitude to completion in the near future, but it was decided to make a beginning.

Ground was broken for the erection of the pres- ent church July 31, 1876. The basement, which afforded ample room for all congregational pur- poses, was occupied in February, 1877; and the building was completed and dedicated May 23, 1880.

The church and adjoining rectory are of brick with stone trimmings. The property is valued at eighty-six thousand dollars, and there is but a small debt upon it. Of this large sum of money collected there was but one subscription of $200, three of $100, seven of $50, and all the remainder was collected in small sums. The interior of the church contains many beautiful gifts, chief among which is a costly marble memorial altar, erected by the family of the late William Cassidy, of the Argus. The stained-glass windows, as well as the statuary and stations of the cross, are from the art reposi- tories of Munich, in Bavaria, and are donations of members or friends of the congregation.

Rev. F. J. Maguire, Pastor of the Church, was born in Albany, 1846, a graduate of Manhattan College and of St. Joseph's Seminary. Ordained priest May, 1872. First Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, Albany, which church and rectory have been built at a cost of $77,000.

CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION. - The French Ca- nadians residing in Albany, January 1, 1868, founded the St. Jean Baptist Society, numbering about 25 members. The objects of this organiza- tion are to help the members when sick, and give a certain amount at their death to pay for funeral expenses. The weekly benefit of sick mem- bers is $5. Within a short period the membership reached 75, but, owing to some of the members re- moving out of the city, the present membership is only 56.

In 1869, there were 130 French Canadians in Albany without church accommodation, and in October 3d of that year, mass was first said in their present church, corner Dallius street and Fourth avenue.

The church was dedicated October 24, 1869, by Very Rev. Father Edgar Wadhams. In the spring of 1871, the residence next to the church was bought for $4,000. The following have been Pastors : Rev. Fathers Laporte, L. M. Dugas, C. M. Lesage, P. Reneault, Joseph Brouillet, Clovis Thibeault. Rev. Father Gideon Huberdeault is the present Pastor.

HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF ALBANY.

In July, 1870, another French Canadian society was established, by the name of Society de Secours Mutuel, for the object of insuring the lives of its members. This society numbers 168 members.

In 1876 a French Canadian Democratic Club was organized, with 175 members.

The 29th July, 1879, J. B. Seney, a popular and public-spirited citizen, started a conference of St. Vincent de Paul, to help poor French-Canadian families. The society has done much good since it was organized.

In January, 1882, the French Canadians of this city united themselves as a body to send delegates to the French Canadians' Convention held yearly in this State.

October 22, 1884, a branch of the Catholic Be- nevolent Legion was started by two or three Frenchmen in this city, known as Jacques Cartier Council, C. B. L., No. 86. The object of this society is to insure members from $500 to $5,000, accord- ing to the grade he joins. Membership numbers forty. According to a census made by J. B. Seney, in June, 1885, there are in the city 162 French- Canadian families.

But in 1879, Rev. Father Brouillet brought the Rev. Sisters of Jesus and Mary to take charge of the schools.

Since the establishment of this church, the French people have paid over $75,000 in property, repairs, ornaments, construction, salary and cur- rent expenses.

CHRISTIAN.

THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH was organized in 1881. Church located south side of Chestnut, be- tween Lark and Dove streets. Pastors: E. C. Abbott, 1881-84 ; Warren Hathaway, 1884 to present time.

CONGREGATIONAL.

The corner-stone of the Congregational Church, corner of Eagle and Beaver streets, was laid Septem- ber 22, 1868; dedicated October 14, 1869. Cost, including lot, $ 130,000. No debt. Will seat 1, 125. Thirteen associated gentlemen, consisting of An- thony Gould, Bradford R. Wood, Rufus H. King, James McNaughton, and others, bought the edifice that had long been owned and occupied by the First Presbyterian Church, corner South Pearl and Beaver streets, now Beaver Block, December 15, 1849, for $20,000, for the purposes of a Congrega- tional Church and society about to be formed. As soon as suitably repaired, it was opened for Divine Service, April 7, 1850, Rev. Leonard Bacon, D.D., of New Haven, Ct., preaching. Other eminent preachers of the denomination followed for a few months. June 6th, a religious society was organ- ized. On the 10th of July, a church of eighty-one members was formed. Rev.

EPISCOPAL.

ST. PETER'S CHURCH. - In 1675 the Rev. Nico- laus Van Rensselaer, a son of the first Patroon, Kilian Van Rensselaer, was colleague to the Rev. Gideon Schaets in the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in Albany. He had received Holy Orders in the Church of England, which was the cause of many differences between him and the Rev. Wil- helmus Nieuenhuysen, the other colleague, and the Pastor, which the Governor's Council determined in Mr. Van Rensselaer's favor. He remained in Albany until his death in 1678. The English gar- rison at Fort Frederick and the few English fam- ilies in Albany were occasionally visited by the chaplains of the Fort in New York until 1704, when the Rev. Thoroughgood Moore was sent by the English Society for the Propagation of the Gos- pel in Foreign Parts as Missionary to the Mohawk Indians, and he remained in Albany a year, vainly trying to penetrate to and locate in the Indian country. He officiated regularly in Fort Fred- erick .* The Rev. John Talbot, in 1702, had spent a

few weeks and performed divine service. In 1708 the Rev. Thomas Barclay was Chaplain at Fort Frederick. He organized a parish and held divine service for six years in the Lutheran Chapel, whose site, the corner of Beaver and South Pearl streets, is now occupied by the City Building. October 21, 1714, a plot of ground in the center of Yonker (now State) street opposite Barrack, immediately below Fort Frederick, was granted by patent from the Crown for an English Church and cemetery. In spite of the remonstrance of the City Common Council, who claimed the ground, an edifice of bluestone, 58 feet by 42 feet, was opened in No- vember, 1716. Mr. Barclay continued his faithful fruitful labors at Albany, Schenectady, and among the Mohawks until 1721, when the stipend of £50 from the Propagation Society was withdrawn. The Mohawk Mission, for which a chapel was built at Fort Hunter, near the lower Mohawk Castle, thirty- five miles from Albany, was under the charge of the Rectors of St. Peter's until 1770, with the ex- ception of the years 1712 to 1719, when there was a resident missionary. In 1727 the Rev. John Miln became Rector of Saint Peter's, as the church then began to be called. A parish school, under the instruction of Mr. John Beasley, was founded at this period, and continued for many years. In 1738 the Rev. Henry Barclay, a son of the first Rector, born in Albany, who had been catechist to the Mohawks, succeeded him. He was zealous and successful until the ravages of King George's War compelled him to leave Albany; and in the au- tumn of 1746 he accepted the Rectorship of Trinity Church, New York City. He died there in 1764. In 1750 the Rev. John Ogilvie, born in New York City, was called to the rectorship. He continued the good work of his predecessors. His thorough knowledge of the Mohawk dialect enabled him, after Dr. Barclay's death, to whom the revision of the Mohawk Prayer-book had been committed by Sir William Johnson, to superintend its publication and correct the proof. It appeared in 1769, from the press of Hugh Gaines. The French and Indian War scattering his Albany and Mohawk congrega- tions, he became Chaplain to General Amherst's expedition in 1758, and to that of Sir William Johnson against Niagara in 1759. He resigned in December, 1760, and remained with the army in Canada until 1764. He died in New York, where he was an assistant in Trinity Church, in 1774. In 1751 the tower of St. Peter's was built, and a bell, still occasionally used, and a clock were procured from England. The Rev. Thomas Brown, Deputy Chaplain of the 60th Regiment, succeeded Mr. Ogilvie, and was the faithful Rector until March, 1768, when he removed to Dorchester, Md., where he died in 1784. The Rev. Harry Munro, missionary at Philipsburgh (now Yonkers) was appointed to the vacancy. Under his charge the congregations were greatly increased, the church repaired, and the present charter of incorporation granted by Gov- ernor Sir Henry Moore, April 25, 1769. Being a Loyalist, Mr. Munro was imprisoned in 1777, and escaped to a British post on Lake George. He died in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1801. St. Peter's
