These
lists cover the time period of 1870
through the year 1900, with the
exception of 1871 and 1873, which were
not available. Included in the list are
sextons or assistants which may have
been included in the Directory listing.
Allowance should be made for the various
spellings of some names, and also the
initials shown. The usual spelling
errors and typesetting errors prevail as
in all City Directories.
Dates
shown for the time periods a priest
served at one church may not necessarily
be conclusive. Not every priest was
listed every year.
Names
of some of the churches were shortened
or altered in the Directories. Most
notable were the following, but not for
every year listed above:
Our
Lady of Perpetual Help, shown as, Our
Lady of Perpetual Succor.
St. Cronan, shown as, St. Cronin.
St. Mark, shown as, St. Marc.
St. Mary of Victories, shown as, St.
Mary's.
St. Teresa, shown as, St. Theresa.
Sts. Mary and Joseph, shown as St.
Mary's.
During
some years of issue only the name of the
church, the address, and the hours of
service were listed, and excluded the
names of the priest. Several churches
listed only the name of the
"order" serving that church,
rather than the names of the priest.
Notable among these churches were St.
Anthony (Fathers of Franciscan Convent)
and St. Alphonsus (Redemptorist
Fathers). These listing were
inconsistent, however. One year the
priest were listed, the next year none
were shown.
St.
Ann, in the county, disappeared from the
listings in 1892.
