Faith of Our Ancestors

Humorous and insightful bits of history of the Diocese of Nelson are ordinarily hidden in the files of the Archives.  Archivists old (Ron Welwood) and new (Margaret Moore) and perhaps others will bring those bits to light here.

Rev. John A. Althoff (1853-1925)
Rev. Nicholas Coccola (1854-1943)
Rev. A.K. McIntryre (1888-1974)

J.O. Patenaude:  A Man of Faith, Hope and Charity

Fr. Pat Freney (1897-1964):  Pat's Pat and That's That

Other stories, perhaps of Catholic families or parishes of historical note will appear here when possible.
