On May 27, 1910, Fr. Quinn celebrated the first Mass in Ressi’s new building, with an overflow crowd.

The body of the Church occupied the first floor of the new building. Years later, as the parish expanded, this space became a gymnasium. Later still it was divided into four classrooms (1953), and finally became the site of the grade school learning center, the pre-first grade, and a first grade classroom.

The second floor of the building served as a large hall for meetings and social events. Within the space of a year, Resurrection parish was able to create a home of its own, and the Reed building was returned to its place on the local commercial scene.

The parish added another building to its acquisitions almost immediately. Father Quinn needed office space and a place to live. He rented a house across the street from the new church at 1115 Creedmoor Avenue. His new rectory stood on the site that would one day be occupied by the new convent.

As busy as he was with his duties at Resurrection, Father Quinn took on other responsibilities as well. When DePaul Institute moved to Brookline from Troy Hill

in the latter months of 1909, Father Quinn served as its Chaplain. About two years later the bishop sent help in the person of Father Dennis N. Murphy. He became the parish’s first assistant Pastor on October 19, 1911.
