St. Brendan Roman Catholic Records
The header of the pages starts with A. M. D. G. Per J. H. S. Some pages have J. C. H. S and then the year. 1905 A. M. D. G. per Jesum Christum H. S. A request for information brought the following replies: A A. M. D. G. "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam" or "For the Greater Glory of God". It was often written at the top of the paper.& And A Your question stumps me ... AMDG means "To the greater glory of God", per is "through" of course, so whatever follows is what the work goes through to get to the greater glory. JC is doubtless through Jesus Christ (in that case, Jesum Christum), unless the HS is something like JC's sacred heart or something. Absolutely no Latin phrase pertaining to Jesus comes to mind. It occurs to me that the whole thing could be a mix of Latin (AMDG) and English (JCHS) and in that case, JCHS might mean Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit." Note: This photocopy was made from very worn and tattered papers and the old fashion writing style is very difficult to read. We have tried to stay true to the records and have used ? to indicate those words we had to guess at the writing. If you have any further information which may help clarify some spellings, please contact us. 1891 Oct 23rd Married Alfred Joseph Lane and Bridget Broadus?
