In the beginning…
June 26, 1953—Our Lady of Loretto Parish was established by Edward Cardinal Mooney, who appointed Fr. Clair J. Berry the first pastor. Two weeks later, the first Masses were celebrated at Bulman Elementary School. Construction was begun on the present church October 26, 1953, with the first Masses celebrated there May 23, 1954.
