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!
