Excerpt from The Story of a Parish: The First Catholic Church in Morristown, Its Foundation and Development, 1847-1892
Thus we, in a later generation, survey compla cently the stately Church; the spacious School, per fect in its appointments with Hall and meeting rooms; the graceful Rectory; the well-kept walks Of the peaceful God's-acre; but little thought we give to yonder moss-grown graves where repose the valiant Confessors who, in days gone by, kept alive and aloft the torch Of faith, and, by unswerving fidelity and unflinching clinging to the Church of their fathers, made our present prosperity possi ble. They laid the foundations deep and secure.
