Ann, I can add that the RC parish at that time was St. Mary's ..the church
was dedicated 5/22/1836 and located at Cooper and Endicott [then Pond St.]
streets. It was a very severe, plain brick edifice, resembling a warehouse
with a cupola and a cross over the front, but it could seat 800 people. It
became one of the most important and densely thronged churches of the
diocese. Its first pastors were:
Rev. Wm.Wiley May 1836 to April 1837
Rev.James McDermott June to August 1837
Rev. Michael Healy July 1838 to July 1840
Rev. Patrick O'Beirne served throughout those years as assistant or priest in
charge.
