St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish (Middletown, Connecticut)

St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish (Polish: Parafia św. Marii Częstochowskiej w Middletown) is a Catholic church parish in Middletown, Connecticut that was founded for Polish immigrants. The St. Mary of Czestochowa Church is a church building at 79 South Main Street in Middletown. The parish was founded in 1903. It is one of the Polish-American Roman Catholic parishes in New England in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich. History With 300 Polish families resident in the city, Middletown’s Poles had determined to build a church of their own in 1902. A small group planned the organization of the St. Mary of Czestochowa parish, which gained formal approval from the bishop. The Saint Kazimierz order of Polish Lancers (an organization which took its name and traditions from the Polish Uhlans) was a local organization that was founded in 1902 and existed until 1940, when it merged into another organization. It "was instrumental" in the founding of the church. On February 28, 2010, the church held a memorial mass for victims of a local disaster, the Kleen Energy plant explosion. Church buildings After the founding of the parish in 1903, a church was opened in a building on Hubbard St. in 1905. That building served as the church until 1907, after which it was used as a school. A more substantial and "beautiful" church building, with stained glass windows, was built next door and served the parish for many years, but was destroyed by fire in 1980. A convent building also existed but was demolished in 1979. The church is located at 79 South Main Street. Calvary Cemetery The Parish owns and maintains Calvary Cemetery which is located at 305 Bow Lane in Middletown. School The Saint Mary of Czestochowa School, at 87 South Main Street, is a K-8 elementary school with pre-school founded in 1912. The current building was constructed in 1930 It was listed in an inventory of buildings of Middletown by the Greater Middletown Preservation Trust in 1979. Architecturally, the school is a brick, two-story, Renaissance Revival building with some Art Deco details. In 2013, St. Mary of Czestochowa School merged with Saint John School, another local parochial elementary school, to become Saint Pope John Paul II Regional Diocesan Elementary School.

St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church (Hartford, Connecticut)

St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, known more recently as the Templo Sion Pentecostal Church, is a historic church at 1886-1906 Park Street in Hartford, Connecticut, United States. Built in 1900, it is a good example of Romanesque Revival design. It was built for a working-class congregation to a design by the nationally known church architect George W. Kramer, proponent of the Akron plan of church interiors, which this one follows. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Description and history The church formerly known as St. Paul's is located in Hartford's Parkville neighborhood, on the north side of Park Street at its junction with Amity Street. It is a modestly scaled brick building, with complex hipped roof arrangement that includes large gables facing both Park and Amity. The Park Street facade is asymmetrical, with a large square tower on the right housing the main entrance, and a smaller one on the left. The gable in between has a band of four square stained glass windows, surmounted by a trio of arched windows, the largest in the center. The flanking tower each have entrances deeply recessed under round arches. The Parkville area developed as an industrial village beginning in the 1870s, experiencing its greatest growth between 1890 and the First World War. St. Paul's was organized in 1891 as a daughter congregation of the South Park Methodist Church, meeting first in private residences and later in a frame church built in 1894. By 1898 the congregation was too large for that building, and the present building was commissioned. It was formally dedicated in 1900. The church tower's upper levels were extensively damaged by the New England Hurricane of 1938, and were removed, leaving the present squat configuration. An extension to the rear was added in the 1950s to provide space for Sunday School instruction. The church congregation merged with the First United Methodist Church in 1975, and moved into the latter's facilities. This building stood vacant for a time, and was purchased in 1979 by the Templo Sion Pentecostal Church, its present occupant.

St. Rose of Lima Church (Newtown, Connecticut)

St. Rose of Lima Church is a Roman Catholic parish church at 46 Church Hill Road in Newtown, Connecticut, United States. It is under the authority of the Diocese of Bridgeport, and was founded under the patronage of St. Rose of Lima, the first person born in the Americas to be canonized by the Catholic Church. History The first Catholics to reside in Newtown arrived involuntarily. They were four Acadians billeted on the town in 1756 by the General Assembly. No further information is known regarding them. From late June to early July 1781, Count Rochambeau encamped at Newtown and it is presumed the French chaplains celebrated Mass for the troops. In 1858, Rev. John Smith purchased a Universalist meeting-house to conduct services for a congregation of about 100. The parish was founded in 1859, the first in that region of the county, originally serving 11 towns in the northern part. The first resident pastor was Rev. Francis Lenihan. Before his appointment, Newtown was served by priests from Danbury. During the tenure of pastor James McCarten, a church was erected in 1882. Rev. P. Fox established the parish school in 1896; it was staffed by the sisters of Mercy. The modern Colonial Revival-style church dates from the early 1960s. School St. Rose of Lima Catholic School, located at 40 Church Hill Road, provides education to children in preschool through eighth grade. In 2009, the school won the Blue Ribbon Award. Relation to Sandy Hook shooting On December 14, 2012, a 20-year-old man, Adam Lanza, fatally shot his mother in their home before killing 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in a school shooting which gained international attention. The dead included twenty children and six members of the school staff. Lanza attended St. Rose of Lima for eight weeks from April to June 2005. That evening, a candle-light vigil was held at St. Rose Church, at which various religious leaders of the town and the Governor of Connecticut, Dan Malloy, addressed the assembled crowd. The parish offered a special Mass that same evening and the church remained open throughout the night, in order to provide a place of comfort for the people of the town. On Sunday, December 16, around noon, someone called the parish office and said, “I’m going to kill everyone there. My friend didn’t finish the job”. Parish officials tried to keep the caller on the line, asking him to repeat himself. He did so, making the same threat in the same words. Churchgoers quickly evacuated church. Police in SWAT gear arrived at the church to check out the area. Funerals for 11 of the children killed in the shooting were held at St. Rose Church.

Chiesa di San Sebastiano (Middletown)

La chiesa di San Sebastiano è la chiesa cattolica italiana di Middletown, Connecticut negli Stati Uniti d'America. Costruita nel 1931-32 da immigrati italiani provenienti da Melilli, riproduce la forma della chiesa madre del paese siciliano. Storia I primi immigrati italiani arrivarono a Middletown nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento ma fu ai primi del Novecento che la popolazione italiana della città crebbe in modo significativo con l'arrivo di numerose famiglie dal paese siciliano di Melilli. Essi portarono le loro tradizioni religiose attorno alla Festa di San Sebastiano (Middletown) che dal 1921 si sviluppò a divenire uno dei maggiori eventi della città. Anche grazie al successo della festa, la comunità italiana cominciò a raccogliere fondi per la costruzione di una propria chiesa, che fu realizzata nel 1931-32 su progetto dell'architetto Raymond C. Gorrani of Worcester, Massachusetts. La chiesa è una replica della Chiesa di San Sebastiano a Melilli e fu costruita interamente con il contributo finanziario e il lavoro volontario degli stessi immigrati. Don Rocco Guerriero fu nominato primo parroco della chiesa, che divenne subito il centro religioso e culturale della locale comunità italiana. La chiesa è oggi un monumento nel distretto storico della città e la Festa di San Sebastiano (Middletown) è ancor oggi uno delle celebrazioni più popolari della città, attraendo ogni anno nei tre giorni di festa migliaia di partecipanti.
