In the year 1913, during the Pontificate of Pius X, while
Matthew Harkins was bishop of Providence, and M. A. Hebert was Pastor
of the Parish of Our Lady of Good Help, which was founded by H. J. Mailloux,
the Faithful have donated me to sound the praises of God, and His Saints.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
