and schools progressed to the foremost in
the city. The congregation grew to over
800 families, the church was crowded
at all services, and in the three-story
school building several hundred scholars
were taught from the primary to the
higher studies, the boys being under
direction of Brother Stanislaus. 1t is the
scholars of those days of St. Patrick s
schools who have attained success and
prominence in this city and elsewhere,
as many of them moved to other States
and the Wild West.
Father Lawler was disciplinarian and
encouraged organized effort among
young and old, and with the aid of his
assistant, Rev. Dominic Crane, St.
Patrick's congregation became noted for
its societies, earnestness and unity in
parish work, and prominent in all public
celebrations. There were sodalities of
children, young ladies and young men,
dramatic and debating clubs, temperance
cadets and society, benevolent society,
St. Vincent de Paul, Ladies' Altar So
ciety and St. Joseph's Aid. Nearly all
those societies had regalias and banners,
and several had libraries. In all parish
work the committees to aid the pastor
were selected from these societies, and
thus the entire congregation, young and
old, were united and active in the work.
All these societies approached the sacra-
ments at regular stated times in full
regalia, but it was the St. Patrick's day
celebration that was the annual feast
day.
Father LAWYERS ambition was to pay
off the church debt, purchase the adj
joining lot and enlarge the pastors
residence, put a spire on the church and
have it consecrated. all of which he ac-
complished. He died in 1898.
Right Rev. Mgr. Thomas F. Gambon
was appointed pastor shortly after the
death of Father Lawler, but the innova-
ton of railroads, depots. warehouses and
factories had caused large portion of
the congregation to move to the western
and southern suburbs, and many of the
young people, the real active workers,
to other States. Thus the membership
of the congregation was reduced, its
personnel changed, and the new pastor
was at great disadvantage in becoming
acquainted with his people and taking
up the parish work. Instead of the old
pioneer families who knew everybody
and were familiar with the church affairs.
he had new and strange element who
must be sought out, advised and in
structed in their part of the parish work,
while he had few of whom he could OBJ

The price of admission has been placed
at twenty-five cents, and as seats are
being reserved without extra charge at
John Mulloys, purchasers should not
delay in securing tickets. From all
indications this years observance of the
anniversary of St. Patrick in Louisville,
New Albany and Jacksonville will
surpass any ever before undertaken.
In Jacksonville St. Patrick will be
honored by dramatic entertainment at
Spieths theater, given by the Hibernian
Dramatic Society, composed of the lead
ing young ladies and gentlemen of that
city, assisted by several we'll known
Louisville people. 1t will be under the
auspices of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, and the programme will prove a
pleasing surprise to all. The Jefferson
vile division cordially invite their Louis
vile friends to join with them in honor
ing Ireland's patron, and will see that
they enjoy themselves.

We regret that we have not the data to
hand to give a sketch worthy of st.
Patrick o. the first Irish Catholic church
in this city. About 1850 the work of
widening the Louisville and Portland
canal brought several hundred Irish
Catholic laborers and their families, who
built the "shanties" on leased ground
on High street from Fifteenth street to
Portland, and most of the people on
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets
were Irish Catholics. To provide them
with church the parish of st. Patrick
was cut off from the Cathedral, and its
bounds were from Tenth to Twenty-sixth
Tor Shippingport road as it was then
KNOWN and from the river to Walnut
street-a large territory but sparsely
settled, below Fifteenth and south of
High being farms, commons and ponds,
with no streets and few houses. Rev.
Thomas Joyce Gather Tom he was af
fectionately called). an humble and zeal
Gus priest and tireless worker, was the
first pastor. The first church was on the
ground floor of the present school build
ing and was dedicated in 1853. The
second floor was the boys school with
about fifty scholars, ranging from the
tots to the big boys, in charge of the
Xaverian Brothers Ignatius, Stephen and
Bernard. who lived for time in small
room on the unfinished third floor,
Brother Paul having charge later. The
girls school of about fifty scholars, in
charge of the Sisters of Nazareth, occu-
pied a two-story house across Pirtle
street, later occupying the ground floor
of the school building after the dedica-
tion of the new church. Father Joyce
lived frugally in small two-room annex
to the church, and as he could not until
years later afford a horse, he tramped
over his large parish, often at night,
ministering to his flock and soliciting
their mites to pay for the building. With
the growth Of the city westward the con-
gregation increased. Father Joyce's
hope was to build a pastors residence and
church worthy of Ireland's patron
saint on the large lot at Thirteenth and
Market, which was gratifed, as he built
both, occupying the residence and hav-
ing the church dedicated in the early
sixties. though he did not live to see the
latter finished, paid for and consecrated,
dying in 1867.
Rev. M. d. Lawler became pastor in
1868, and having rare executive ability.
energy and tact of dealing with the peo-
pie, he soon overcame difficulties, won
the confidence and love of his flock, aud
