Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of St. Aloysius' Parish: Pottstown, Pennsylvania
This book is not a complete history. It contains merely some of the raw material which may recall to the older parishioners other facts relating to the past. In the first part the attempt is made to give some idea of the development of Catholicity from the missionary period of this section when the faithful were few in number, to the present time, when the ministrations of our religion are ob tained with comparative ease. In the last part is a record of events you are more familiar with, which will be more interesting to future generations.
For information I have drawn upon the memories of those who have lived here before and since the parish wasfounded. I record with pleasure my obligation-to the fol lowing: My Mother; Mrs. Daniel Healy; Annie C. Hof man; Joseph M. Yohn; Jacob M. Yohn; Patrick Dunn; Frank Ziegler; A. K. Shaner; John Foreman; Thomas E. Mullen, of Phoenixville; Mrs. Kate Rigney and several others.
