Wordless Wednesday with Some History - St. Stephen's RC Church

On April 26, 1892, Bishop Michael J. O’Farrell assigned Father Stephen Szymanowski to attend to the spiritual needs of Polish Catholics living in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.  A storefront located in the Schiller Building on New Brunswick Ave. was soon renovated into a chapel for liturgical services. That fall the church property on State Street was purchased and construction began on the original church, which was blessed by Bishop O’Farrell on May 30, 1893.


It was at this church that my G-Grandparents,  
George Ignatz Kolbusz & Pauline Gobur 
were married on 06 Feb 1893.

St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church continues to serve the Polish community today.
