The first pastor, the Rev. Jos
eph A. Griffin, C. S. Sp.. arrived in
Salisbury in February, 1942, and
made his residence at the rectory
of the Sacred Heart Church. Soon
after, however, Father Griffin en
listed in the Army Chaplains
Corps.
The Rev. James J. Bradley, C.
S. Sp.. came to Salisbury i n Octo
ber. 1942. from Dayton, (Ohio, to
succeed Father Griffin, At that
time priority restrictions on build
ing materials hud become very
rigid and made it necessary to
postpone any plans for building.
Having no rectory, Father Bradley
continued to reside at the Sacred
Heart rectory, while a small frame
store was rented to be used as a
chapel. The first Mass was offered
in the chapel on Christmas Day,
in surroundings which recalled the
simplicity and poverty of the first
Christmas morning. Several
months later the property was sold
and it was necessary for the mis
sion lo find other quarters.
Another attempt was made to
build toward the end of 1944 when
it seemed that restrictions would
be relaxed to some extent, but it
still was not possible to begin the
construction of a church.
In the..meantime, a veiy kind
friend had generously offered the
use of a house on South Craige
street, in the mission section of
Salisbury, to serve as a rectory
and chapel. After the necessary
i enovations were made and one
room .was converted into a chapel,
Mass was offered in the cottage
for the first lime on Trinity Sun
day. this year. Mass is now offered
in the chapel each Sunday at 9 a.
m. and on all holidays at 7 a. m.
Each Tuesday evening a group
of interested non-Catholies gather
at the mission to attend an Infor
mation Class which was started to
leach them about the Catholic
Church.
A site has been acquired on
which a church, rectory, convent
and school will bo erected as
soon as a building fund in suffi
cient amount can be raised and
