St. Rose of Lima Church History
On September 18, 1907, Bishop Michael A. Tierney established St. Rose parish, appointing Father John J. Fitzgerald as founding pastor. Father Fitzgerald celebrated the first parish Mass at Grand Avenue's Polar Star Hall on September 29, 1907. From October 1907 until April 1908, St. Andrew Methodist Episcopal Chapel on Townsend Avenue was leased for Sunday Mass. The basement of St. Francis Church was then employed until a temporary parish church was built on Saltonstall Avenue. The first St. Rose was dedicated on May 10, 1908. Property was acquired for a larger church on Blatchley Avenue, and construction began. On October 6, 1912, the cornerstone was blessed. Bishop John J. Nilan dedicated the new St. Rose on April 20, 1913. A few years later, on September 3, 1916, a new parochial school was blessed, staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. In September a four-room school had opened in a building on the corner of Richard Street and Saltonstall Avenue. The Sisters of Mercy left the parish in 1990.
