Excerpt from The Catholic Church in Waterloo County, Vol. 1: With a Summary History of the Diocese of Hamilton, and a List of the Clergy Who Labored in Its District From the Beginning to the Present His book is a work of deep research, full and informational on the struggles, trials and heroism of the pioneer priests and settlers of Waterloo County. It will be read with intense satisfaction by the descendants of the stalwart, immigrants who, a hundred years ago, crossed the Atlantic, and with strong bodies and brave hearts entered the wilderness and subdued it. But it is to be hoped the volume will also be read and appreciated by many outside the boundaries of Waterloo County, especially by those who are interested in the development and progress of the Catholic Church in our Province in early times.
