When darkness falls, We are reborn


SH Church 
Established 1876SH parish, CT was taken from the territory of St. John the Evangelist, whose pastor was Father Carmody. On October 24, 1874, he bought a former Congregational church on Avenue C, a building that dated as a house of worship in 1852. The refurbished edifice first opened for Catholic Mass on December 20, 1874. On February 14, 1875, Father Sheffrey was named first pastor of the newly consecrated SH parish. As his first public act in CT, Bishop Tierney blessed the cornerstone of SH School on April 29, 1894. Dedicated on September 1, 1895, the new school opened to 675 pupils and was staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1990, the Sisters of Mercy left the parish and were succeeded by the Apostles of the SH. In 1997, St. Peter's Church and St. John the Evangelist merged with SH. 


The church is one of five buildings in the complex, including the former rectory, attached to the rear of the church, the former convent, which once housed a homeless shelter, the original SH School and a garage. It now sits vacant and The options are the wrecking ball or Rebirth.

This Budd's for you

Budd logo.gif
Budd was founded in 1912 in Philadelphia by Edward G. Budd, whose fame came from his development of the first all-steel automobile bodies in 1913 and, in the 1930s, his company's invention of the "shotweld" technique for joining pieces of stainless steel without damaging its anti-corrosion properties.The Budd Company was a 20th century metal fabricator, a major supplier of body components to the automobile industry and a manufacturer of stainless steel passenger rail cars, airframes, missile and space vehicles, and various defense products.
Budd Company became part of Budd Thyssen in 1978 and in 1999 a part of ThyssenKrupp Budd. Body and chassis operations were sold to Martinrea International in 2006. No longer an operating company, Budd filed for bankruptcy in 2014. It currently exists to provide benefits to its retirees.
