Histoire administrative
On January 29, 1961 St. Angela Merici parish was officially established. Architect Eugene Olesksky was selected by the Building Committee to design the church and many men from the parish helped with construction.
A few months later on July 25, 1961 Co-adjutor-Archbishop Anthony Jordan, OMI, blessed the corner stone and construction continued. The building was eventually finished in October of 1961. Co-adjutor-Archbishop Jordan blessed and dedicated the new church on October 29, 1961. Prior to the blessing of the new church mass was held at St. Angela's School.
The first parish priest was Rev. Edmund McGrane who served the parish until 1970. Since there was no rectory in 1961 Rev. McGrane lived in the annex between the hall and Church.
Shortly after the parish was established both a Men's Club and a Women's Club were formed. These two groups helped raise funds to pay for the construction of the church as well as for other parish activities.
In August, 1961, the parish purchased the house at 13343-132nd Street. This house was to be the convent for three sisters of the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion. The sisters moved into their new home on Aug. 26th.
In 1967 the hall and rectory were built.
On May 14, 1976 the parish celebrated the final payment of their mortgage by celebrating the 25th anniversary to the priesthood of Rev. Leslie Scrive (who had been appointed pastor at St. Angela in 1971) by burning the mortgage.
In 2010 Rev. Patrick Baska was appointed parish priest of St. Angela Merici and assigned the task of preparing the parish for closure, three years later on June 30, 2013 the parish celebrated its final mass and was merged with St. Edmund Parish.
