Milton, Chittenden Co., VT by Rev. H. Cardinal. "The Catholis in Milton" Up to the year 1859 the few Catholics of Milton Falls used to be visited occasionally by the priets of Burlington. In 1859 Mr. Joseph Clark granted the use of the town hall for a mission. At the end of the mission the Rt. Rev Bishop of Burlington proposed to build a church, towards which object Mr. Clark also contributed very liberally. Whilst the church was building, the Rt Rev Bishop attended to the spiritual wants of the congregation. The church was ready to use in the fall of 1859 when the Rev. F. Picart was appointed resident pastor. In the spring of 1860 the Rev Francis Clavier of St. Albans took charge of the congregation. Owning to his exertions, the church was finished in 1863. In February 1866, the Rev. M. Pigeon was appointed resident pastor. The Catholic population of Milton are composed of Franch Canadians and Irish and number about 100 families. Hope this might be of some help as perhaps the priests kept records of baptisms, marriages and deaths. Nancy Vogt --WebTV-Mail-21293-173--
