Today we’ve added ten new volumes to Massachusetts: (Image-Only) Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston Records, 1789-1920 from Our Lady of Good Voyage (Gloucester) and St. Joseph (Lynn). This update adds over 2,300 new pages to browse.
In 1888, the Catholics of Gloucester, largely of Portuguese descent, many from the Azores established the need for their own parish. Work began on their church building in 1875.
St. Joseph (Lynn) began as an offshoot of St. Mary (Lynn) in 1875; the cornerstone of the church was laid on the 4th of July of that year.
We’d like to thank volunteers Ross Weaver, Bill Wolfendale, and Kim Bonner for their help making this update possible.
