First Offspring Parishes

Toward the end of 1914 a new parish was established in Fairhaven (Overbrook). This occurred on December 2 of that year. This was midway between Resurrection and St. Wendelin Parish. It cut off a piece of land from Resurrection approximately two miles long and three miles deep. It is interesting to note that, at this time, Resurrection Parish had only one family on Milan Avenue, and only one on Whited Street. There were just two families each on Hobson and Seaton; and three each on Mayville and Wareman.

Another new Parish, St. Bernard’s, was established on August 11, 1919 to serve Dormont. Officials at the Chancery didn’t foresee the difficulty they would have in finding a suitable piece of property in Dormont. After failing to purchase property in Dormont, a site was acquired up the road in to serve Dormont.
