St. Joseph's Church (Fall River, Massachusetts)
A two weeks' mission was opened on Sunday, February 11, 1894, and was conducted with most successful spiritual results by Reverend Fathers James and Hyacinthe from the monastery of the Passionist Fathers at Hoboken, N.J. On the closing afternoon the first-named clergyman delivered a special discourse on "The Holy Name," and formed a society of that character, the first board of officers appointed by the pastor consisting of the later Reverend Father William S. Flynn (uncle of His Excellency William S. Flynn, present Governor of the State of Rhode Island), as Chaplain and Spiritual Director; the late Gilbert P. Cuttle as President; the late John Hanrahan as Vice-President; William J. McGrath as Secretary, and the late Michael Maley, Sr., as Treasurer. One of the big events in the early history of the organization was the reception of new members a few weeks later, on the first Sunday of April, the sermon, of a highly impressive nature, being given with all the power of the preacher, Reverend Father James Coyle, then pastor of Saint Joseph's Church at Newport, R.I. and at the present time, a Right Reverend Monsignor and Permanent Rector of Saint Mary's Church at Taunton.
