FAMINE: The Irish Famine and the Atlantic Migration to Canada; The Irish Ecclesiastical Record 5th Ser. Vol.69 October, 1947, pp. 870-882.; CMSIED 305023
The Great Irish Famine of 1847 and the Atlantic Migration which it set in motion mark a turning point of paramount importance in the history of the Catholic Church in Canada. The distinguished historian J. H. Hammond in his monumental work,

On leaving the quarantine station at Grosse Isle the fever ships proceeded up the St Lawrence River into Lake Ontario. Whenever they stopped to unload their passengers, typhus and dysentery appeared in alarming proportions. It is true to say that not a single rural district, village, farm or city in Upper and Lower Canada escaped the ravages. Deaths in Quebec City numbered 1,137, including many of the inhabitants. Through the zeal of the local clergy, Fathers McMahon, Cazeau and Baillaragean, later Archbishop of Quebec, homes were found for 800 orphans. Some were placed in St. Brigid’s Home which for more than a century has been a haven for the indigent. Montreal was a second Grosse Isle. Here, at Point St. Charles, 11,000 lay sick with fever. Terror spread throughout the populace. At Bytown, now Ottawa, 1,000 were stricken; of these 200 died. At Kingston, 4,326 were admitted to the hospitals and feversheds; of these 1,400 died. At Toronto, where the authorities had time to make preparations, the sick received better care. Nevertheless, 863 died from the epidemic. At Hamilton, and at St Catherines in the Niagara Peninsula, at London and Sarnia in western Ontario, events followed the same course, though numbers were smaller. Partridge Island, at the entrance to the harbour of St. John, New Brunswick was a third Grosse Isle but with a much lower death-rate. Of the 17,074 immigrants who entered here, including 2,000 from Lord Palmerston’s estates, 600 died on the Island and 595 died in the city s fever-sheds.
