Christian Missionary Alliance Church


For almost a century Gates had but two Pro- testant churches. Then, in April of 1923, the CHRIS- TIAN MISSIONARY· ALLIANCE CHURCH was organized. The Rev. G. Verner Brown, District Superintendent of the Northeastern District of this denomination was the organizing pastor. Within one year the first church building was completed. Lo- cated at 91 Lee Road, it now houses the Berean Christian group. The present structure on Lyell Ave. was begun in 1958 and it is anticipated that it will be completed soon.


During the forty years of its existence, the Gates Alliance Church has been served by seven pastors, namely: the Rev. C. E. Humiston, the Rev. E. R. Rehn, the Rev. Delbert Lindsey, the Rev. Alfred Corbin, the Rev. Alfred Booth, the Rev. Edward Murrary, and the present pastor, the Rev. Donald S. Walker.

Bruce H. White, Dalton A. Gill and S. W. Beardsley were early Trustees in the Church and very instrumental in directing its beginnings.


SAINT


I


Saint Theodore's


On July 1, 1924, the Most Rev. Thomas F. Hickey, Bishop of Rochester, assigned Rev. John J. Baier, assistant at Holy Family Church, Roch- ester, N. Y., to the work of organizing a new parish in the town of Gates. At the suggestion of Father Baier, the new parish was called SAINT THEO- DORE'S in honor of Father D. Theodore Laurenzis, pastor of Holy Family Church.


Mass was offered for the first time in the new parish on Sunday, July 20, 1924, at 8:00 A.M. by Father Baier in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kenney, located at the intersection of Lyell and Spencerport Roads. On account of the large num- ber who attended (216), it was necessary to move the altar to the porch and have Mass in the open.


Four acres of the Kenney farm were purchased for the sum of $4,000.00 and construction began in the Spring of 1925 on the church, a wood frame building containing three classrooms and the church. The new edifice was formally dedicated by Bishop Hickey on October 25, 1925. In 1955 a 34 acre ad- dition was purchased for $19,500 to the north and west of the original plot on which was dedicated on November 9, 1957, a beautiful combination church- school building.


The members of Saint Theodore's, realizing the inestimable value of moral and spiritual training for children, quickly opened a school on September 8, 1925 for 64 pupils. The enrollment increased slowly until after World War II when the number of chil- dren began growing rapidly to the present enrollment of 461.


The Sisters, who have taught at St. Theodore's from the beginning, moved into their first convent at 177 Spencerport Road on September 4, 1928 where they resided until their new convent was opened next to the school in April 1963.


The first pastor, the Rev. John J. Baier, was transferred to St. John's Church in Greece, New York, on June 24, 1937, and was succeeded by the Rev. Raymond J. Epping, who capably guided the parish through the post-war development period until his retirement in June 1960. The Rev. Elmer Heindl was appointed Father Epping's successor, to be fol- lowed by the present pastor, Monsignor Dennis W. Hickey, in June 1961. The following priests have served as assistant pastors at St. Theodore's: Rev. Joseph Gefell, 1947-1951; Rev. Lawrence Sansom, 1951-1953; Rev. Vincent Collins, 1953-1954; Rev. John J. Steger, 1954 -.


A catechetical center, called the Gates-Chili School of Religion, was built in 1958. Under the di- rection of Father Steger, it is used for the teaching of religion to Catholic children attending Gates- Chili High School from St. Theodore's, St. Helen's, Holy Ghost and St. Pius X parishes.


The Gates Wesleyan Methodist Church


The Gates Wesleyan Methodist Church was or- ganized in June 1929 with twelve charter members. Two charter members of that group are still living, namely, Mrs. Grace Montrois and Mrs. Clara Houck Connell.


It was in 1930 that ground was broken for a church on land given by Mr. and Mrs. James S. Youngs on Long Pond Road, North Gates. The church was dedicated May 15, 1932. Mr. Youngs, a building contractor, had formed a Sunday School . group prior to this in North Gates and its meetings were held in the various homes in that locality. It was he also who was Sunday School Superintendent and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the church from its inception until his death in March, 1954.


The Rev. John Wilcox was the first pastor. The Rev. Earl Barrett served for one year after the Rev. Wilcox left. For six years thereafter the Rev. Alton Shea served, during which time many improvements were made on the church property and grounds. The Rev. Ralph Haines served in the church the follow- ing year and one-half, and the Rev. Adam Shea, father of the Reverend Alton Shea, succeeded the Rev. Mr. Haines.


The parsonage for the church was completed in 1943. In July 1946 the present pastor, the Reverend James Bence, began serving in the church. During the past sixteen years, the congregation has seen a $25,000.00 addition to the church completed. At the present time a new educational wing has been erect- ed and dedicated.


The following members of the church attended the original American Sunday School Union which was the forerunner of the present church: Francis, . Kenneth and William Kemp, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Wooden, Mr. and Mrs. George Hammar, Edward and Norman Hammar, and Eva Carter Curtis.

St. Helen's Church


One can hardly imagine a more modest parish beginning than that represented by the dedication of the Mission Chapel of ST. HELEN'S. The ceremony took place on February 23, 1930 in a small frame building on Hinchey Road in a sparsely settled sec- tion of the Town of Gates. Bishop John F. O'Hern presided. Here during the ensuing ten years a verit- able handful of devout Catholics attended the single Sunday Mass offered by an assistant priest from nearby St. Augustine's.


With the pastoral appointment of the Rev. J. Beecher Sullivan, then assistant at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Bishop James E. Kearney signalized the establishment of the new parish of St. Helen's on June 4, 1940. Construction of a rec- tory was Father Sullivan's initial project, under- taken with a zeal which was to characterize his pastorate through the years to follow. Started in July, the new building was ready for occupancy in November of the same year. Sound counsel and active support given by the first trustees, William J. Hickey and Fred C. Sours, were indicative of the spirit with which the small band of parishioners were to rally to the support of the new parish.


The inaugural year of 1940 was to mark the in- ception of parish social organizations with the for- mation of the Men's Club headed by Fred L. Robi- son, and the Ladies Altar Society under Marydel Mance. Spiritually, progress was likewise note- worthy. May 25, 1941 saw the "first" First Com- munion Class of 6 children, and on May 20, 1942 Bishop Kearney confirmed a class numbering 33.


Opening in a small room in the rear of the church on September 7, 1943, the parish school, too, had a typically modest and humble origin. To meet the ever increasing need, four classrooms and an audi- torium were completed by September 1948 and four more classrooms and a kindergarten were added in 1950. A further complement of eight classrooms, completed in 1956, brought the school to its present status.


Living facilities are now provided for 18 teaching Sisters. By 1951 continuing parish growth necessi- tated enlargement of the original church. Again in 1959 plans were made for the erection of a new church edifice which was finally dedicated on June 17, 1962, by Bishop James E. Kearney.


The Rev. H. Beecher Sullivan has remained pas- tor of this parish and is presently assisted by the Rev. James Lane and the Rev. James Lawlor.

Lutheran Church nf Our Sauinur


On October 19, 1941, Mr. Carl G. Dell reported · at a meeting of the Lutheran Mission Society of the Rochard Circuit: "A group of interested laymen opened a Sunday School today in the Gates Fire- house with 12 children and 5 adults present. We pray that Almighty God may bless this humble beginning and we ask our fellow Christians to pray for us".


This was the beginning of what is known as the LUTHERAN CHURCH OF OUR SAVIOUR on Chili Avenue, near Fisher Road. The initial work of a Sunday School was developed and promoted by interested members from various Lutheran Churches in the city who were living in and about the town of Gates.


On May 3, 1942 the first regular worship services were combined with the Sunday School session and conducted by Vicar Francis Runge who was the as- sistant to Dr. C. A. Behnke, Pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, Rochester, and Institutional Chaplain. Six weeks later, the Rev. Martin Mueller of Concordia Lutheran Church, Brockport, began conducting services. He was succeeded by Vicar Hans Liebenow of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, Rochester, who remained with the group until June 1943. In September 1943 Candidate Lyle W. Hal- vorson, a graduate of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, was ordained and installed in the Washington Irv- ing School as the first resident pastor of the church and he has remained with the congregation ever since.


A piece of property, which was formerly the Jacob Kern farm, was purchased in January 1944, as the site of the congregation's first church. In May of 1945 the War Production Board granted permission to erect a chapel, the cost of which was not to exceed $8,000.00. Mr. John F. Rath, Sr. broke ground for the new church, and the church was formally dedicated on Nov. 6, 1945.


An organization of young people, known as the Walther League, was organized in February 1946. In October of the same year the Ladies' Society was organized with 13 members.


As the congregation became more stable, a par- sonage was erected in 1947. Additional improve- ments continued to be made in the church, and various altar appointments were dedicated. By the 10th anniversary of the congregation, in 1951, a new organ was dedicated and the congregation be- came self-supporting.


Ground was broken for the new church on July 31. 1958, by the oldest member of the congregation, Mr. William F. Longbine. The new church was dedi- cated to the glory of God and the service of the community on June 25. 1960.


In 1877, according to Beer's Atlas, the area around Lyell and Manitou Roads was called the "Dutch Settle- ment". Some of the families who lived there were: Amish, Miller, Rider, Thousand, Judd, Weber, Vahue, Cabic, Kelly and Volz.

Church of the Epiphany


The newest church to the Gates community is the Church of the Epiphany, Episcopal. In reality, it is not the youngest church. Like many of the good town residents, it has come to us from the city.


During the winter of 1866-1867, cottage services were held in the eighth ward of Rochester by the Rev. Henry Anstice, Rector of St. Luke's Church. This was the beginning of the mission that led to the founding of the Church of the Epiphany.


Through the efforts of the people of St. Luke's Parish, $14,000.00 was raised to build a chapel in South Francis Street (now Jefferson Avenue) at the head of Adams Street. The cornerstone of the new chapel was laid July 23, 1868. Upon completion of the chapel, the Rev. W. W. Raymond, Assistant Rector of St. Lukes' Church was placed in charge of the Mission which was named "The Church of the Epiphany" and divine worship was held on May 8, 1870.


Over the years the parish grew. However, during the past 25 years members began to move away from the parish area. It was during this time that


thoughts of relocating the parish facilities were form- ing. After many months of seeking for a suitable site that would receive the approval of the congre- gation and of the Diocese, the present site on Buf- falo Road was secured. A building fund drive was undertaken, an.architectural firm was engaged and the machinery set in motion to build new parish fa- cilities and to relocate the parish Church of the Epiphany.


Epiphany has been at its present location, 3285 Buffalo Road, for two and a half years, and is at- tempting to identify itself with and to serve its new parish home. The Rev. Irving V. Shepard is rector.


In brief, these are the stories of the Gates Churches. Not only have they grown as the town has grown, but they have enriched the corporate life of the community. The historical records of the churches bear the names of many who also had significant roles in the origin and the development of the town. This is as it should be. May such as these continue to serve faithfully in all areas of life.

Excerpts from an Early Diary


The weather was an all-important factor in the lives of our pioneer families. Since most of them were farmers, dependent upon a good crop for their live- lihood, the rain, the snow, the sun and the wind meant the difference in a good harvest or perhaps none at all.


A day-to-day diary, written in a fine hand by a member of the Woodworth family who settled in Gates in 1819, farming on Hinchey Road, gives us a glimpse of the kind of life these early settlers led. "Monday, June 8th, (no year is mentioned but it is presumed to be about 1900) partly cloudy with light afternoon showers. Charlie hoed around the sweet corn and cultivated it twice. Clarence drew weeds out of the pieplant. Clarence sprouted pota- toes and transplanted tomatoes and I pulled mus- tard out of the oats."


"Wednesday, June 10, 61 to 67 degrees. Heavy showers in A.M. Charlie went to city with me in the morning and got hair cut. We got home about 11 a.m. and set a few tomato plants. Hoed cabbage in front garden."


"Thursday, June 11, 50 to 61 degrees. Cloudy in A.M. with light sprinkle, light showers in aft., heavy in evening. Charlie hoed potatoes South end lot and helped Clarence cultivate corn and squash. Clarence and I repaired fence between west pasture lot and middle lot. We set out 75 tomato plants in front garden also peppers. Brick Church, Pancost Bldg. and Higgins livery burned.


"Saturday, June 13, 50 degrees, cloudy all day with frequent showers. Clarence and Charlie drew the stones and broken rails from along fence in south side of wood lot from Hinchey's line to land. Charlie and I plowed nine furrows in west end of pasture lot. Clarence transplanted the last of the head let- tuce and hoed sweet corn. Eleanor, Ethel and I went to Cook Opera House in evening to see Jessie Bonstelle Stock Co."


Work was hard, for women as well as men, but the writer of this diary makes only one mention of women's work. On June 18th we find the notation, "Eleanor canned cherries."


It would seem, however, from reading the death notice of Mrs. Amanda Woodworth (a yellowed newspaper clipping without a date) that the pioneer woman's hard work was recognized and appreciated.


"Woodworth-in Gates, on the evening of the 8th inst., Mrs. Amanda Woodworth, relict of Mr. Spencer Woodworth, aged 79 years. Mrs. W. with her husband settled in Gates in the year 1819 and endured the toil and privation incident to a pioneer life with cheerfulness and fidelity as a wife and mother. In early life she professed faith in Christ, and adorned her profession by the meekness of a quiet spirit. In her death she was cheered and comforted by that grace which had sustained her through all the trials of a long life. She went down to death full of years and with the blessing of duti- ful and affectionate children."
