Clinton County Historical Association post on St. James Church in Cadyville

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA – Undertaken to Celebrate the Golden Jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Pius X – Volume 3 – Published in 1914
ST. JAMES THE LESS – Cadyville, NY – The first Catholics came to Cadyville in 1825, and attended the church at Plattsburgh, which lies a few miles east of the village. As early as 1830 Mass was celebrated in private houses by visiting priests from Plattsburgh, but a church was not built until Father Rooney, in 1840, began the erection of one. Father Maloney completed the building.
Dannemora, Cadyville and Patent were in 1872 formed into an independent parish in charge of Father James J. McGowan, who built a stone sacristy for St. James Church and furnished the interior.
In 1881, Dannemora was made an independent parish, but Patent continues the station of Burnt Hill. The total number of Catholics is about 270, and the church property is worth $10,000. Father Ryan was compelled to retire from the pastorate in 1914, owing to ill health. He was succeeded by Rev. John J. Kelly, who was born in Marlboro, MA, in 1881. He studied at Louvain, Belgium, where he was ordained in 1906 by Bishop Gabriels.
