 On February 5, 1806 the first meeting of the Benevolent Irish Society (B.I.S.) was held at  the London Tavern, St. John’s.  The Society was founded for the relief of the poor by a group of 78 Irishmen.

As the seal and motto, the BIS founding members, chose the figure of St. Patrick bearing the cross surrounded by the inscription – “he that gives to the poor, lends to the Lord.”

The Benevolent Irish Society was unique in that it was nonsectarian and offered assistance to the needy regardless of their religion.

The founders of the Society were among the first generation of permanent residents inNewfoundland. They included politicians, businessmen and clergy who played significant roles in the political, economic and spiritual growth of the developing colony.

The headquarters of the BIS, fronting on Queen’s Road, backing on Military Road opposite of the  R.C. Basilica, was converted into a condominium residence in the late 1990′s.

The headquarters of the BIS is now located at 30 Harvey Road.

IF CANDLEMAS DAY BE SUNNY AND BRIGHT …

Posted on by Larry Dohey

The Blessing of the Candles (Candlemas)

ARCHIVAL MOMENT

February 2, 1871

Some of the best insights into the history of families and communities in this province can be garnered from the pages of the thousands of diaries that have been deposited into archives in this  province. Edward Morris observed in his diary  on February 2, 1871.

Fine morning, light frost, wind from the north, north west.  Streets frozen again but no cold such as we have had. The day fine enough but the walking very rough.  Attended at the Cathedral in the morning at the ceremonies of Candlemas Day and dined at Government House in the evening and home at ½ past ten.”

February 2 is “Candlemas”  the ceremony of Candlemas Day that Mr. Morris observed  in his  diary was the  blessing of the annual supply of the Church’s candles.  Beeswax candles were blessed by being sprinkled with holy water and having incense swung around them, and then, the candles distributed to everyone in the church. The ritual ended with a procession in which people carried  lighted candles while the choir sang.

In Newfoundland there is an established tradition that on this day a blessed candle would be lit and the mother of the household would bless the children in the home with the candle.  The wax was allowed to drip on the head (hat) and shoulders and on the shoes of the children.

Every fishing boat would also have a blessed candle. These candles would be taken out and lit during a gale or storm.

WINTER IS HALF OVER

This day also used to have great significance on the calendar, because the date lies half way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, so it marks the day upon which winter is half over!  

As Candlemas traditions evolved, many people embraced the legend that if the sun shone on the second day of February, an animal would see its shadow and there would be at least six more weeks of winter.

You may know the rhyme:

If Candlemas day be sunny and bright,
Winter again will show its might.
If Candlemas day be cloudy and grey,
Winter soon will pass away. (Fox version)

If Candlemas day be fair and bright,
Winter will have another flight.
If Candlemas day be shower and rain,
Winter is gone and will not come again. (Traditional)

Orphan Asylum School

Posted on by Larry Dohey

ARCHIVAL MOMENT

January 30, 1876.

The Orphan Asylum School, Queens Road, St. John's

On January 30, 1876 the Irish Christian Brothers opened their first school in Newfoundland known locally as the Orphan Asylum School.  The school had previously been under the jurisdiction of the Benevolent Irish Society. (BIS).

The arrival of the three Christian Brothers implied far more than the arrival of a few more teachers.  It meant the introduction of a group of teachers who taught as a unit, were all trained in the same teaching methods, used the same graded text books and employed the same code of discipline. 

Attendance shot up from 66 at the former Orphan Asylum School in November to 300, the full limit of the space available.

The Orphan Asylum was built on Queen’s Road on the side of the hill overlooking St. John’s, across the street from the Basilica. The building featured a prominent tower observatory that was one of the most prominent architectural features of the city in its day. 

After a year of teaching at the school, the BIS and Christian Brothers decided that the fifty-year-old wooden structure was no longer suitable and plans were made for a new stone building on the same lot. The Orphan Asylum School was sold for thirty-five pounds and was torn down.

Was the Bishop Excommunicated?

Posted on by Larry Dohey

 ARCHIVAL MOMENT

January 26, 1816

Bishop Michael Fleming giving the last rites of the church to Bishop Thomas Scallan.

On January 26, 1816 the talk in St. John’s was all about the appointment of a Father Thomas Scallan, (also Scallon) who was given the nod to succeed as the new Catholic bishop in Newfoundland.    

Scallan was very well educated; in his career he had been a lecturer in philosophy at the prestigious St Isidore’s College, Rome and a professor of classics at the Franciscan Academy at Wexford, Ireland, a preparatory seminary for candidates for the priesthood.

What is most telling about his tenure as Bishop of Newfoundland is the memorial or relief that was established in the Roman Catholic Cathedral (now Basilica) to celebrate his work in Newfoundland.

Scallan in his relationship with the leaders of other denominations was considered to be far ahead of his time. His ecumenical spirit in fact stirred occasional and considerable controversy.

Indeed, Bishop Michael Francis Howley from St. John’s, attributed such ecumenism to a mental weakness. He stated flatly in his Ecclesiastical History of Newfoundland (1888) eWww 1stlivenude Q Hentai St St Dating Sr Tag R And B St Live Nude Archival Moments | Selections from the archives, live from Tag St. John's, NLq s Single pWww 1stlivenude Q Hentai St St Dating Sr Tag R And B St Live Nude Archival Moments | Selections from the archives, live from Tag St. John's, NLx w St Live Nude
