St. Thomas Church History
St. Thomas Catholic Church
St Thomas Church - Wednesday, July 4, 1860, was more than Independence Day for the Catholic community of Southington. This was the day the cornerstone of Saint Thomas Church was laid. Bishop MacFarland presided at the colorful and long-awaited ceremony. The Bishop came to Southington by way of Meriden accompanied by Fr. Walsh and a number of other priests. The episcopal party was met, fittingly enough, at Bishop's Corner by one hundred members of Saint Patrick's Benevolent Society and escorted to the Fallon house near the church. Into the cornerstone were placed the names of those who were present at the ceremony, the different denominations of currency, newspapers of the state and also some from Ireland, and several religious articles blessed by the Bishop.
By December of the same year the church was ready for dedication. The patron saint of Fr. Walsh, Saint Thomas the Apostle was designated as titular saint of the church. This was done as a special mark of gratitude to the priest who was principally responsible for erecting the church. It was a simple woo-framed structure, which seated three hundred people, but it was sufficient for the needs of the time.
The Catholics of Southington now had their own church, but they had not a parish in the strictest sense of the word. Saint Thomas remained a mission of Saint Rose Church with Father Walsh as its pastor. On September 4, 1862 the Reverend Thomas Drea was appointed as first pastor of St. Thomas Parish.
