Catholics in Boston.-The first Cath.
Ollie Church erected i'll Boston. was
dedicated on September 20, 1903. This
event was of great historic impor-
lance, as marking the first break in
the stalwart and extreme Protestant
ism of New England The later Irish
invasion, and the more recent immi-
grafton from continental Europe, have
made Boston, in common with many
other New England cities, strongholds
of the Catholic Church in America.
| At the time the first Catholic Church
in Boston was built there were about
10000 native born Catholics in the
United States, but nearly a third of
these were in the newly annexed ter
ritory of Louisiana, and there were
very few in New England. The anti
Catholic sentiment was strong in the
colonial days, and the Continental
Congress accused the Church of hav-
ing dispersed impiety, bigotry, per-
Isecution, murder and rebellion
through every part of the world"
