LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW St. Ignatius Loyola Parish HE picture of the new Chapel facing page 1 of this book, and the architect's drawing, facing this раве, of the front of the new Parish ool to be built shortly, point to the dawning of another era in the history of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish. Founded in 1917, it has grown slowly but con- sistently. The late Father Thomas Gorman, S.J., was its first pastor but remained only a few months till Novem- ber, 1917. Тһе late Father Alex. Gagnieur, S.J., and Father J. M. Filion, 5.Ј., successively looked after the parish until August, 1918, when Father A. J. Primeau, S.J., was placed in charge. In that year the first Parochial School, under the direction of the Catholic School Commissioners of Montreal, was opened on West Broadway, not far from Loyola College. This soon be- came inadequate with the increase of pupils, and in 1921 a larger school was opened on Belmore Avenue. In August, 1922, Father Primeau re- linquished the duties of pastor and went to Guelph, Ont., being succeeded by Father Wm. A. Dunn, SJ., who re- mained in St. Ignatius for three years. Father John F. Cox, S.J., was in charge from August, 1925 till August, 1926, when he took up the work of giving missions. The Rector of Loyola College, Rev. E. G. Bartlett, S.J., assumed the duties of Parish Priest, being assisted during the four years he remained in office by Father Thos. Lally, $.]., Father J. Holland, S.J., and Father J. MacDonald, S.J. Іп August, 1930, Rev. Thos. J. MacMahon, S.J., became Rector of the College and Parish Priest, assisted by Father J. Moore, S.J., and Father John MacDonald, S.J. Then on May 11th, 1931, Father A. J. Primeau, S.]., returned as Pastor to St. Ignatius from Port Arthur, where he had been Parish Priest for six years. During all this time, from 1917 to 1932, the Students' College Chapel served as a parish church. Owing to the great increase in the number of families the chapel has become alto- gether too small, and this year will see the building of a Parish Church on the College grounds, which also will be used as a Student's Chapel. A photo- ks and description. of this new uilding will be found elsewhere in the present number of this Review.. Besides the church, a new school containing thirteen class rooms will be built by the Catholic School Board, at the corner of West Broadway and Terrebonne Streets, giving accommo- dation to some four hundred pupils. Work is expected to begin in June or July of this year. With increased facilities both in church and school the next few years should see great progress in the parish dedicated to the Founder of the Society of Jesus. e бе
