From the Paper:

"When Father Gibbons died on January 20, 1927, the Reverend John J. Ganey was named as his successor. Surveying the situation Father Ganey found that Catholic instruction and schooling had indeed taken place in the parish and in the Church proper. The earliest accurate record being in 1911, with the building and opening of the Barge Canal there was a huge influx of Irish Catholics as well as Italians none of whom could read or write in English. Night schools were organized all over town to teach them."
