Parish History

In 1951 Bishop Boland closed the mission church in Lafayette and established our parish at a more centrally located spot to care for the Catholic community of Branchville, Frankford and part of Lafayette Township. A building was purchased on Route 206 and over the past years, with renovation, has come to serve presently over 500 families. Our religious Education Program numbers over 100 children from Pre-K to the tenth grade with a growing Youth Program.  We have been a parish for over 65 years with these pastors:
