History
The parish "was founded in 1908 by the Rev. P. J. Mahoney, D.D.", the parish's first pastor, formed in response to "…the rapid growth of the city along the Hudson River above 145th Street…".[2] Mass was said in a store until the erection in 1910 of a two-story building, which serves as a school and church. Ground for a church adjoins the school building on the corner of 175th and St. Nicholas Avenue".[2] In 1914, the Rev. Dr. Mahoney was still pastor and was assisted by the Rev. Francis A. Kiniry and Rev. Joseph V. Stanford, the three of whom occupied a recently completed "handsome three-story rectory".[2]
Soon after his arrival in the United States in 1951,
The current pastor is Reverend Edward Russell.
