The following, taken from a catechism on Cathoricism. will fully ex- plain the ceremonies connected with the consecration : On the eve of the consecration, both the Bishop who consecrates and those for whom the church is consecrated should fast. On the same eve the Bish- oxfencloses in a reliquary, along with an attested certificate, the relics which are to ‘be put under the altar; these relics are exposed all night in a tent near the church to be consecrated, and before these the psalms of the office are chanted; six crosses are made or paint- ed on each side of the church at equal distances and a taper or torch placed at each cross. - ' The Bishop early in the morning or- ders these twelve tapers to be lighted ; he then, With all the people, leaves the church, which is shut from the inside, by a deacon leftwithin for that purpose; he proceeds to the place where the rel- ics are, and there he repeats with the clergy the seven penitential psalms, whilst he assumes his pontifical robes ; .he then returns to the principal door of the church and after invoking the Holy Ghost, he chants with all the clergy and people on their knees the litany of the saints.- 'After the litanies,the Bishop sprinkles With holy water'himself, the clergy, the people, and the walls high up, as well as towards the cemetery ; he then re- turns to the door of the church, and prays that God may take this temple under his protection ; that he may ban- ish all devils ”from it and may order by Virtue of his Holy Spirit, himself to be served ih it in purity, and with full lib- Henow strikes the door of the church With his crosier, and in the words of the 23d Psalm orders the doors 01' gates to be opened; the Deacomin the church asks, Who is .this King of Glory who wishes to enter in ? and the Bishop replies in the words of the same Psalm, "The Lord strong and powers ful, the Lord strong in' battle.’;';’. But the deaconl-stilly‘doés net."open.x~ ngai' ' e Bmhop'sprinklés. th‘e‘jwalls . towar- s the foundations, &c, and prays that God / , . Locks ; deacon of vespers, Rev. J. C.» and Psalms cxlix.. cl, are sung. may give union and peace to all who may assemble in that church. ' . He strikes the door a 'second time and demands in the same words ad- mission ; the result is as above and the deacon does not open. The aspersion, etc., takes place the third time. and the deacon having asked who is this King of Glory, the Bishop with all the clergy reply, "The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory; open, open, open.” The Bishop now makes the sign of the cross with the end of the crosier on the threshold, saying Behold the sign of the cross, let all phantoms vanish. The door opens and the Bish- op and his clergy enters, the people re- maining without. The Bishop as he enters says Peace be to this house. The Bishop now, on his‘ knees, in the center of the church intones the Veni Creator, which is continued by the clergy; meantime the attendants scat- ter ashes in the form of a cross on the floor of the church, on which the Bish- op has to write certain letters. The lit- anies of the saints follow the above hymn, after which the Bishop begs that God may visit this place ; that he ,may depute his angels to preserve it; that he may sanctify and consecrate this church and this altar, to be conse- crated to his honor under the name of some saint. ‘After chanting the Benedictus, which Zacharias pronounced as athanksgiv- ing to God for the blessing of the In- carnation of Jesus Christ, the Bishop, with the end of his crazier writes on one end of the above lines of ashes the letters of the Greek alphabet, in such a. way that the first letter of each al- phabet will point to an angle of the church, and the last letter of each. to each of the opposite angles. The Bishop then approaches the altar re- peating the words of Rs. lxix “Come to my aid, 0 God,” etc. He blesses water, and mingles with it blessed salt, ashes and wine. He commences the consecration of the altar by intoning Ps. xlii. He then, with the water blessed as -ab0ve, makes five crosses on the table of the altar one at the center and one at each corner, saying “Be this altar sanctified in honor of the all-powerful God, the Glorious Vir- gin Mary and all the Saints. under the name and memory of this or the other special saint, in the name of the Father. and of the 8011‘,” etc. To this the Bishop adds a prayer that God would sauctify the altar and then sprinkles it seven times round with holy water dur- ing which time Ps.l called the llIiserere is sung. He then Sprinkles the walls of the church three times all- around, once near the foundation, again at middle height, and the third time near the tep, the choir singing Psalms cxxi, lxvii and xc. The Bishop after begging, in three different prayers. that God may show mercy and grace to all who come to pray in this church, forms a little sand and lime into a paste with a mixture of holy water. He then makes with the clergy a procession to the relics, to bring them to the church and during this procession psalms and anthems are sung in honor of the holy martyrs whose relics are to be placed under the altar. The procession having arrived at the great door, the choir stop there, whilst the Bishop and clergy bearing the relics walk round the church, the people singing the Ii'yr‘ic Eleison. The Bishop then exhorts the people on the subject of the ceremony, and the Archdeacon reads the decrees of the Councils on the subject. The Bishop after praying that God by his grace may enter this church annoints with Chrism the door, saying “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost be this door blessed, sanctified, consecrated and placed under the seal and guardian- ship of our Lord God ; be it the door of salvation and peace. through our Lord Jesus Christ, who said he was the door, and who liveth and reigneth,” etc. The church is now entered, and the procession is made round in the inside; the relics are deposited near the altrafi', e Bishop prays that this place may be in- violable, and in consecrating the spot where the relics are to be placed, says. “Be this sepulchrc consecrated and sanctified, in the name of the Father,” etc. After it has been shut and joined with the rest of the altar by cement, he annoints it with Chrism saying, “Be this sepulchre shut and sanctified, in the name of the Father,” etc. He then incises the altar all around, en- treating that his prayers may. like that incense, ascend before Grid, and that all who offer on, or participate from, this altar, may feel God’s mercy. He then makes with the censer the sign of the cross on the center, and at each of the four corners of the altar; from this time to the end of the consecration, a Priest lofi'ers incensa incessantly around the altar, whilst the choir sings Ps. lxxx. The Bishop with the Oil of Catechumens, annoints the five Crosses engraven on the altar, saying “Be this stone sanctified and consecrated in the name of the Father, etc., in honor of God, of the Holy Virgin. of the saints, under the name and mem- ory, and invocation of the special saint or saints of the church.” The xci Psalm is then sung and the incensations and unctions arerepeated, with prayer having relation to them. The xliv Psalm follows, during which. five new unctions with Chism are made on the same parts‘ of the altar, these are followed by incensations and prayers. The xlv Psalm is now sung". during which the Bishop, with oil of Catechumens and Chism mingled to- gether annoints the whole table of the altar. After the singing of the lxxxvi Psalm, the Bishops exhorts the people to pray that God may bless and con- secrate this altar, and regard favorably the ofl'erings made on it. Whilst the cxlvi Psalm and some portions of the Holy scriptures are sung the Bishop annoints with holy Chrism the twelve crosses, painted on ‘the walls of the church saying “Be this temple sancti- fied and consecrated, in the name of the Father, etc., in honor of God, of the glorious Virgin- of all the Saints, under the name and memory of the special patron.” He then incenses each cross three times. . The Bishop after incensing the altar then blesses twenty-five rains of in- cense, and places ‘ five in t e form of a cross, over each of the crosses on the altar; he places above a small taper lighted, that all ma burn together, and then prays in t e spirit of the above ceremony. He then blesses the linens, etc,, which are to be used at the altar, and concludes by celebra- ting the holy sacrifice of the Mass. HISTORY OF THE SOCIETX. , The folldwing condensedvhistory of the society and its pastors, will be of special tinterestiat thistim'e': .. _ _~ jine first priest ;t‘o' say-"Mass in N or- .Walk was Father McD'ermott, in the year 1836. ; It was said in a building \ . occupied by Michael Cooney, father ,of_ Thomas Cooney, near the present railroad crossing on Water street. He also said Mass two or» three times in a house near the present Allen Betts’ saw mill. - In. 1837-8 Father JohnSmith also said Mass at these houses. : In 1846 Father Lynch of Bridgeport, came here to say Mass about once in three months in the William K, James building on River street and later in the present Town Hall. He was fol- lowed by Rev. John Brady who also held services in e Town Hall and later built the church on Chapel street. He also at that time had charge of a society in Stamford. He was the first resident priest in Nor walk. After Father Brady, and in 1854, Father E. J. Cooney took charge, but he remained only about three months, and was succeeded by Rev. Hugh O’Reilley who in turn was succeded by Rev. John Mulligan D. D., in 1858. He was loved by his people and had the esteem and good will of all creeds. He devoted much time to the advance- ment of Sunday school work, and de- lighted in hearing the children sing, he takings. part in the leading of the sing- ing. He taught an advanced class of, youth and young men in christian doc- trine and church history, and some of the members of the class have since joined the priesthood. At the begin- ning of his pastorate here \ the Catho- lics of Westport had to come to Nor- walk in order to hear Mass. He caused a church to be built there which was dedi- cated in 1861. He organized the St. Joseph’s society, in July of the same year. It was mous Dr. McGlynn paid his first visit to Norwalk, when he gave a lecture for the benefit of the Parish. He and Father Mulligan were great friends, their friendship beginning in Rome where each took their degrees as doc- tors of theology, this friendship re- maining unbroken until the death of Father Mulligan, which occurred Jan. 17th, 1862. Dr. McGlynn was the cel- ebrant of his funeral mass. His re- mains were interred in Hartford, the home of his boyhood. 'One incident during his pastorate which it may be well to cite is, at the time of the break- ing out of the rebellion, all or nearly all displayed the Union flag to show their loyalt . The churches, schools, Gazarrn b 1ding, railway depots, and shipping, displayed the red white and blue and citizens were the tri-color on their breasts, but St. Mary’s church showed no colors. He was asked for the reason, and replied “Our church is not a church of North or South. The Roman church is the universal church. We minister to all. The Catholic church cannot divide against itself, but you will find my flock truly loyal to the Union.” After the death of Father Mulligan the church was withouta pastor for awhile. In the meantime Father AO’Neal, of Stamford, since deceased, read Mass for three Sundays. He was followed by Father Campbell who acted as pastor for one month. He since died at Manchester Conn. In March, 1862, the Rev. Peter A. Smith took charge of the parish. One uf his first acts was to have a “mission” which Was held in April by the Re- demptionist Fathers, and another was held in December. There was acou- firmation in September of the same year. He also had the church in New Canaan, which was begun by Dr. Iulli- gan, completed. The congregati was numerically rapidly increasing, and in 1863 it was decided to build a new church. The first of the annual collec- tions was taken up that year and a church fair held, the money received making a handsome nucleus for a building fund. In 1864 a site was pur- chased at the corner of West avenue and Beatty street. (now Orchard street). About this time he started a school 'for Catholic children which was held in the church. The school was so contin- ued until January, 1864, when they went to the new schbol built on the site purchased for the contemplated new church. A teacher was secured in the person of M. McGillick, of Brook- lyn, and also a lady teacher. He was succeeded by M. McGirl. In 1867 the General Assembly passed the free school bill, the Catholic school was dis- continued and the property was sold the following year. . in 1865 the house and lot at the cor- ner of Chapel street and West avenue was purchased, it being deemed a more desirable site for the proposed new church. On. Feb. 2d, 1867, Father Smith or- ganized the St. Mary’s T. A. B. society. Feb. 18th, 1867, ground was broken for the new church. On the 28th of July, of the same year, the corner stone was laid by Bishop McFarland. Divine worship was first held in the basementof the new church in May 1869. In January, 1870, a fair was held in the church proper, and on February 27th, the same year, the church was opened and blessed by Vicar General Hughes. The Bishop being in attend- ance at the Ecumenical Council in Ro’me,the opening sermon was preached by Father Duffy, one of the Redemp- tionist Fathers who also began a “mis- sion” on that day. In J une,1866,the pastor’s brother Rev. John Smith. came to Norwalk and was the first curate. Up to this time the duties devolving upon Father Peter Smith were many and ardous. He had Norwalk, New Canaan and Westport as his field of labor—he visiting New Ca- naan every fourth Sunday, and West- port the, other three Sundays in the month, besides saying Mass every Sun- day at 10:30 in N orwalk. In the spring of 1867 Father John P. Smith was sent to another parish and Father J. of Fitzpatrick became curate. He was succeeded by Father P. A. Murphy, in 1868. Father John P. Smith, died at the home of his brother, Rev. Peter _A. Smith, Nov. 5th, 1869, and was buried at St. Mary’s cemetery.- . In the summer of 1869 the remains of those lying in the Chapel street grave- yard were removed to the new ceme- tery 2 near Winnipauk, and the old church property was sold for the bone- fit of the parish. Father Murphy remained as curate until Mag, 1872. He was followed b Father . P. Lawlor, who was succee - ed by Father P. H. Finnigan. . Dec. 11, 1875, Father Peter A. Smith met with a fatal ac. ident, he . being thrown from his carriage, sustaining in- juries frpm which he died Dec. 16, and was buried on the 21st. January 6, 1876, Father P. O’_Dwyer became pastor. He was an invalid from rheumatism. '. During his pastorate there was a dissension as to the church management, but it ended in Father 'Dwyer’s beiaig sustained by BishOp Gala berry. , . , 2 Shortly after Eather O’Dwyer-became about this time that the 'fa- ‘ pastor Father Donahue succeeded P. H. Finniran as curate, he in turn being succeede by Father P. H. Keating, now of Norfolk, Conn, he being fol- lowed by Father Byriies. About the beginning of Father O’Dwyer’s pastor- ate Westport parish was cut off from Norwalk. . 2 and he was buried at Ancoma. Father John Russell, now pastor of St. Patrick’s of New Haven, became pastor the same month, and shortly af- ter Father Treanor, now of the Sacred Heart parish, Waterbury,succeeded Fa- ther Byrnes as curate, who since died at Bethel. During Father Smith’s pastorate there lived a James McNamara who willed at his death two tracts of land with the buildings thereon to Father SmiOh. and he at his death, willed the same tracts to St. Mary’s. church, to- gether with one house and lot on Chap- el street known as the Raymond place. Shortly after he came, Father Rus- sell built a parochial school, having as teachers the Sisters of Mercy. He had the Raymond place remodeled as a school and the McNamara place as a convent. After a year or two the school building became inadequate to the needs of the parish and he had a new and commodious brick school built on the church property facing Leonard street, at an expense of $18,000. and the old school remodeled for a convent. He then sold the McNamara property for the benefit of the parish. In November. 1880, the church was refrescoed and painted and new altar ornaments put in. In May, 1883, Father W. J. Slocum became pastor. He saw that more ground was needed for a cemetery. and in1884 he bought eleven acres of land adjacent to the cemetery, and May 30, 1885, it was consecrated by Bishop Mc- Mahon. About the beginning of 1886, Father Slocum was desirous of completing the spire on the church and decided to pro- ceed wrth the work, and also to put a clock and shell in the same. He called for a meeting on Sunday, Feb. '28, 1886, to be held in the base- ment of the church to devise means to liquidate the expense of the proposed improvement. It was decided to raise the money by subscription, and-a com- mittee appointed for the purpose met with gratifying success. On March 1, 1886, the work was com— menced and on March 23 the same year, the cross was elevated to the top of the spire. The bell was blessed by Bishop McMahon, Sunday, March 28th. before the largest congre ation ever assembled in the church. T e bell was first rung pgséllaster Sunday morning, April 25th, In 1888 a new organ was placed in the church at a cost of 553.500, which is one of the finest in the diocese. - In 1891 new marble altars were placed in the church at a cost of $5,000. In connection with this matter it may be stated that altars consecrated in Roman Catholic churches, must be built with foundations resting on the ground, and the supports of the same are built from the foundation of the church. Of the marble altars the main or high altar at St. Mary’s is dedicated to the memory of Rev. P. A. Smith; the St. Mary’s al- tar to the memory of Rev. John Mulli- gan, D. D. ; and the St. J oseph’s altar to the present pastor, Rev. \V. J. Slo- cum. When Father Slocum came here Rev. Hugh Treanor, now pastor of Sacred He. was succeeded by Rev. O’Donnell, pastor at Watertown ; then came Rev. T. M. Crowley, now located in Thomaston. He was the founder of Catholic Union Council, K. of C. He was succeeded by Rev. T. M. O’Brien and Rev. J. Duggan, the two latter be- ing at the present time Rev. Father Slocum’s assistants. A handsome new parochial residence has been erected at a cost of 810,000. The church and its belongings repre- sents an expenditure of considerably over $150,000. Within the past year the convent has been enlarged and refitted. The church has'been re-frescoedat a cost of $2.500. Every detail to make the churcha complete and thoroughly equipped one has been managed and attained by Father Slocum, and to-day the Catho- lies of Norwalk have one of the best church societies in the Roman Catholic diocese of Connecticut. There is nowhere a better illustra- tion that “many hands make lig work.” The members of St. Mary’s society are not,“well to do” but it is composed of people who have labored earnestly for their church, state and nation, and the church and its belong- ings make a grand showing of their successful efforts.
