The Parish of St. Columban
|
| Abstract |
A history of St. Columban Parish (the area today known as St. Colomban), and the once-Irish Catholic community in the lower Laurentians, near St. Jerome. In the early 1830s, Father Patrick Phelan, a Sulpician priest ministering to the Irish Catholics in Montreal, many of whom were farmers, organized the establishment of this Irish community in the Laurentians. St. Columban parish was officially established in 1835. Until the early 1900s, St. Columban remained an almost exclusively Irish and Catholic community, reaching at its peak about 250 families in the area. But by the 1960s, most of the Irish had migrated away to Montreal and beyond.
