An event of interest to all citizens Of Norwich and vicinity is to occur on July 4th and 5th in the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of "Old St. Mary's" parish commemorating 75 years of ser vice to God and country" as the formal invitations say and telling story of remarkable progress.
 When Rev. James Fitton founded St Mary's parish seventy-fve years ago, there were only 5000 Catholics in the state of Connecticut. Today there are over 550,000. There were only three Catholic priests and four Catholic churches then in the state. Today 450 priests and 250 churches serve the great Catholic diocese of Hartford In Father Fitton's day the Catholic sisterhoods had no station in Connecticut. Today over 1,600 nuns are daily educating over O,000 children in S5 schools, caring for over 1S,000 patients in five great hospi- tals and caring for orphans, wayward, aged and needy in great chain of Ca tholic homes in every section of Con- necticut.
 From the humble conditions of seven ty-five years ago, the Catholic popula- tion has raised itself not only in numbers but in social, political and industrial standing to places in the first rank in every department of American life. Nc
