Biographical / Historical

On September 8, 1882, St. Anthony of Padua was made a parish, with Father Michael J. Byrne as resident pastor. Father Joseph M. Gleeson immediately used monies raised by Father Byrne to buy land for a new church and rectory. Father Timothy Sweeney erected a frame church of Gothic style, dedicated on July 8, 1888, by Bishop Lawrence S. McMahon. On October 5, 1944, a fire destroyed St. Anthony Church. The Congregational and Methodist churches immediately offered their facilities. On October 24, 1948, then Bishop Henry J. O'Brien dedicated the new St. Anthony Church.
