 ,^\^T is !i trait of tli^ C'atliolic Church, tliat whcrcvor 
 V'<?^ she obtains a foothohl, she goes on (jrowini:; ami 
 ^^'^•' developing witli the niarch of time. Nnr is the 
 history of tSt. Patrick's Parish an excei)tion to this char- 
 acteristic. During the past fifty years, it has gone on, 
 nuiking steady pri^gress from its sum 11 and limited 
 sphere of action, at first, to its present coni[)letc e«|uip- 
 ment of l)uihlings religious, charitable, benevolent and 
 ■educational. 
 
 Early in the forties, when the city was bounded on 
 the North liy Jacob Street, it was usual for a priest to 
 come from St. Mary's on the Sunday, to give the consn- 
 lation of their religion to some few Catholic families who 
 lived in what is now spoken of as the North End. Mass 
 was then said in a barn that stood on the North West 
 corner of Gottingen and Gerrish Streets, kindly lent for 
 the purpose by Mr. Michael Egan. The Catholics wiio 
 then formed the congregation, were few. and for the 
 most part very poor. But the spirit of faith and zeal, 
 which they had brought with them from across the seas, 
 was strong in their hearts, and moved them ere long to 
 provide a more suitable building as their holy of holies. 
 Sacrifices were made, money was raised, and a better 
 building was soon provided, wherein to offer the holy 
 Sacrifice of the Mass.

OLD ST. PATRICKS. 
 
 On the 3rd February, 1843, the building on Brunswick 
 Street, once used as a dissenters' meeting hou.^e and 
 afterwards, as a Garrison Chapel, which stood on the site 
 of the present St. Patrick's, was purchased for a Catholic 
 Church. But as always happens, when a new mission is 
 opened, the faithful came in numbers, to settle near the 
 home of their hearts, the church being the centre towards 
 which their love tends. The building soon proved inad- 
 equate to receive the worshippers, on the Sunday morn- 
 ings. The church was then enlarged, by the addition of 
 two new wings; thus giving to the building a cruciform 
 appearance. In this the Catholics of the North End 
 worshipped, for full forty years. But, time did its work 
 upon the wooden structure ; and what was once the pride 
 of the few became the eyesore of the manv. Ventilation 
 seems to have been the chief quality it possessed. Good 
 enough during the warm days of summer, but far too 
 airy for comfort, in the cold stormy mornings of the 
 Winter time. Many are the tales of hardships and dis- 
 comfort told by priests and people who attended Mass 
 there, during the latter years of old St. Patrick's Church.

 NEW ST. PATRICK'S. 
 
 In the month of March, 1882, His Grace Archbishop 
 Hannan called a meeting of the Catholics of the city, in 
 the basement of St. Mary's Cathedral, and represented to 
 them the needs of St. Patrick's Parish. The people of 
 St. Patrick's were anxious ; they knew their pressing 
 needs ; but at the same time they were not unmindful of 
 the great responsibility, of erecting a church that would 
 be for themselves and for future generations a fitting 
 edifice for the worship of God. At this meeting the 
 assistance of all the Catholics of the city was assured, 
 and generously was that assistance afterwards accorded. 
 Archbishop Hannan was not spared to seethe accomplish- 
 ment of his wishes ; but by the united efforts of the 
 Catholics of the city a memorial has been raised to him 
 in the new St. Patrick's Church. 
 
 After the appointment of the Most Rev. Dr. O'Brien, 
 his first duty was to look to the needs of St. Patrick's 
 Parish, and to encourage the people to the fulfilment of 
 the promises they had made to his predecessor. 
 
 To this end His Grace made one of his first official 
 visits to St. Patrick's Church. On April 1st (Low Sun- 
 day) 1883, he officiated at the early Mas«<and assisted and 
 preached at the High Mass. He spoke of the needs of 
 the church, and assured the parishioners of the assistance 
 of their fellow-Catholics throughout the city, making the

 announcement on both occasions that the old building 
 would no longer bo used as a place of worship. Many of 
 the congregation parted from their favourite seats with 
 sighs of regret. The old church, with its shortcomings, 
 was dear to them all ; and fervent prayers were offered 
 up on that morning, that the faith which they had pre- 
 served pure iind lively during the forty years of the Old 
 St. Patrick's might continue to grow and flourish still 
 more strongly in their hearts, and in the hearts of their 
 children, in the new edifice that was about to be erected 
 to the worship of God. 
 
 The work of taking down the old building was begun 
 at once ; and soon the new church began to assume shape. 
 During the erection of the basement chapel, the congre- 
 gation worshipped in what is known as the North-end 
 Rink. The corner stone was laid by Arch])ishop O'Brien, 
 on the 8th Aug., 1S83. For somewhat over two years the 
 work was pushed briskly ahead ; and the manifestations 
 of faith and zeal on the part of the Catholics of the city 
 was truly edifying. Labourers came offering their time 
 and work gratuitously, while those in more comfortable 
 circumstances contributed largely from their means. At 
 length the happy day was at hand, and the church was 
 about to be opened for Divine Service.

 THE OPENING OF THE NEW ST. PATRICK S CHURCH. 
 
 During the Christmas time of LSS;"), the church waa 
 formally opened. On Su iday, the 27th Dec, Mgr. (then 
 Canon) Carmody celebrated the first Mass in the new 
 church. His Grace the Archhishop assisted at the High 
 Mass and preached, congratulating the parishioners on 
 the •• ork accomplished. It was a bai"py day for the peo- 
 ple of St. Patrick's parish. The consunnnation of their 
 hopes was realized ; and they knelt again before the same 
 altar, but in a new and magnificent church, worthy of the 
 service of God and creditable to the Catholic community. 
 Of this they were justly proud. 
 
 In chronicling the improvements that have been made 
 in t'le parish during Mgr. Carmody \s pastorate, we must 
 not omit to make mention of the last, but not the least, 
 the new St. Patrick's Presbytery, a chaste and handsome 
 building that stands side by side with the church. In 
 the month of June, 1888, it was decided by the parishion- 
 ers to erect a more suitable building, for their clergy, 
 than the old one that stood upon the present site. The 
 work was begun immediately, and in the following May, 
 to the delight of priest and people, the new building was 
 ready for habitation. It may here be remarked, that 
 within the space of about two years from its commence- 
 ment, the new St. Patrick's presbytery, with its furnish- 
 ings, was entirely clear of debt.

 SKETCH OF MQR, CARMODY'S LIFE. 
 
 This year marks a memorable epoch in the life of tlie 
 venerable pastor of St. Patrick's. On March sth, he cele- 
 brates the Golden Jubilee of his priesthood. His devoted 
 people have not been unmindful of the event; and f(»r 
 some time past they have been looking forward with 
 pleasure to the occasion when they would offer him a 
 token of their love and esteem, and join with him in 
 thanking Almighty God for the graces and blessings He 
 has bestowed upon him during the fifty years of his 
 priesthood. 
 
 Mgr, Carmody was born in Groom, Gounty of Limerick, 
 Ireland, on the 3rd March, 1822. At an' early age he 
 expressed a desire to study for the priesthood, and from 
 that time, it became the sacred care of his pious parents 
 to encourage his holy aspirations. He was accordingly 
 sent to the Seminary in Youghal, Go. Gork. where he 
 prosecuted his earlier studie.-', and afterwards made a 
 distinguished course in Theology, in All Hallow's Gol- 
 lege, Dublin — that teeming womb of missionary priests, 
 who have carried the light of the Gospel to every coun- 
 try in the world. At All Hallow's he was ordained priest, 
 on the 8th of March, 1845, by His Grace Archbishop 
 Walsh, the first Archbishop of Halifax. 
 
 After spending a short time with his relations and 
 friends, the young priest set out for the field of his future 
 
15 
 
 labours. He sailed from Waterford, on the 10th of April, 
 1845, and arrived in Halifax on the 20th Mav — a lone: 
 passage it seems to us in these days of ocean greyhounds. 
 Since then, Father Car mod v has ministered in most of 
 the lahourous missions of the Archdiocese — Yarmouth 
 with Tusket Wedge, Meteghan with Salmon River, St. 
 Croix with Weymouth, Couberie. T)igby and Annapolis, 
 Chezzetcook with Ship Harbour. Tangier, Sheet Harbour 
 and Quoddy, Rerring Cove with Ferguson's Cove, Ketch 
 Harbour and Prospect, Windsor with Wolfville, and St. 
 Patrick's, Halifax, where he has laboured for the past 
 seventeen years. 
 
 While yet but a young priest, he was made Canon 
 of the Cathedral by Archbishop Walsh. On the death of 
 Very Rev. Mgr. Power, in the year 1887, he was appointed 
 Vicar General of the Archdiocese, and in the month of 
 June, 1892, he was honored by His Holiness Pope Leo 
 XTII, who raised him to the dignity of a Private Cham- 
 berlain.

 FROM THE PEOPLE OF ST. PATRICK'S PARISH. 
 
 To the Very Rev. Monsignor Carmody, 
 
 Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Halifax, N. S. 
 
 Very Reverend and Dear Monsignor, 
 
 Obedient to the Fentiments of gratitude to Almighty 
 God that animate us to-day, we, the people of St. Pat- 
 rick's Parish, gladly avail ourselves of this joyous 
 occasion, to offer to you the sincere homage of our 
 respect, to assure you of our unchanging love, while 
 adding our humble but heart-felt felicitations .-> the many 
 that you will receive on this the Golden Jubilee of your 
 
 , Priesthood. 
 
 As a young Priest, filled with holy zeal, you have 
 ascended the hill, successfully surmounting the many 
 crosses and trials incident to a life spent in most of the 
 scattered and laborious missions of the Archdiocese, 
 during the past fifty years, and are now descending into 
 the valley, a valley lighted by the undying lamp of the 
 faithfulness, fond love, and tender devotion of those 
 amongst whom you have labored so well. You have 
 indeed reached the golden age of maturity. Time has 
 sown fresh and fruitful seeds of affection in your dear 
 old heart, time has, indeed, whitened the locks of your 
 

 
 venerable head, yet time has but mellowed in the woll- 
 beloved Monsignor of to-day, the faithful soul and loving 
 heart of the zealous young Priest of fifty years ago. 
 
 In congratulating you to-day, Very Rev Monsignor, 
 permit us to offer you this golden chalice and paten with 
 the accompanying cruets, a gift, of its own intrinsic 
 value, inade(iuate to the occasion, but rich in the sincere 
 respect, gratitude and love of your parishioners. Tlease 
 accept it, and with it our united hopes, that Almighty 
 God may spare you for many years to come, to use it for 
 His greater honor and glory, and the good of this parish. 
 May your bark still continue to sail upon a golden sea ; 
 and when the Master sees fit to sever the golden links that 
 bind us, may it be to hear his loving words, '' Well done 
 thou good and faithful servant, because thou hast been 
 faithful in a few things I will place thee over many, 
 enter into the joy of the Lord.'' 
 
 Signed on behalf of the parishioners.
