| | History of St. James Parish, New Bedford, MA |
 | | Lawrence parish, however, did have an extra chapel, St. Mary's on the corner of Fifth and School Sts., which took care of many of the south end parishioners. |
 | | Important as were these activities in behalf of the parish, Father Clark would not let his people forget their larger duties of charity, and we find notations about collections for Missions, for St. Luke's Hospital in the city, which had begun a short four years before, and for the Orphans of the Diocese. |
 | | The bolt, which struck the spire of St. James Catholic Church, sent a shower of slate, chips of wood and nails hurtling to the streets and crashing down upon the sidewalk and in the yards on the opposite side, to a distance of 150 feet from the Church. |
