Does anyone remember WHY
St. Joseph’s Church was named
for the great Saint Joseph?
Newspaper articles tell us when
(1915), where (Oswego City Clerk’s
Office), and who (Rev. John Grimes,
Bishop; Rev. Michael Clune, Vicar-General; Father Pip
Parolin, Rector; and Angelo Peluso and Alfonso D’Amico,
laymen), but no WHY. Please call Laura at the rectory office,
343-2160, with this information. Grazie!
