HUNGARIAN CATHOLICS IN AMERICA i6i 



Home Missions of the Reformed Church in America, and 12 

 by the Presbyterian Church of America. The Lutheran con- 

 gregation is located at Cleveland, Ohio. Too short a time has 

 elapsed since the establishment of Hungarian Catholic churches 

 in America to speak of the distinguished participants therein, 

 except as they have been incidentally mentioned above, since 

 nearly every one of those interested in spreading and keeping 

 the Faith among the Hungarian immigrants is still alive and 

 engaged in active work. There is also a slowly growing settle- 

 ment of Hungarian colonists in three provinces of British Can- 

 ada, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with headquarters 

 at Winnipeg. Two of these farming centres have been named 

 Esterhaz and Kaposvar, after towns in southwestern Hun- 

 gary. Rev. M. Erdujhelyi undertook in 1908 to found churches 

 in the country places for them, but was unsuccessful because 

 of the great distances between their respective settlements. 

 The spiritual welfare of the Magyar farmers and settlers has 

 been chiefly taken in charge by three Canadian born priests, 

 Rev. Agapite Page, Rev. Joseph Pirot and Rev. Francis Wood- 

 cutter, who undertook to acquire the Hungarian language and 

 thus put themselves in close communication with the immi- 

 grant settlers.
