dc.description	Donahoe's brochure outlines the history of the Canadian Catholic Martyrs parish. He notes that from the beginning (1953), the congregation in the original chapel (adjoining the rear of McNally Building) were "many times reminded by the pastor [Fr. Edward Brown that] ...the time would come when the demands of the university would require the space occupied by the parish and provision would have to be made for new quarters … At last [about 1970] ... the University asserted its claim on the church premises … Archbishop Hayes arranged for the reservation of a site, our present location [on Inglis Street, as shown in left of photo]" (see pg. 2-3). On the right of the photo one can see the Canadian Catholic Martyrs Parish Centre, which was officially blessed and opened by Archbishop Berry in February 1963 (Donahoe, pg. 3).
