NYFE Summary

The parish first held Mass in a small frame building on Center Street. Its replacement gave Richmondtown a permanent Catholic church during the Civil War.

The central tower projects from the brick front. Round arches frame the doors and windows, while small brick arches follow the roofline. A narrow spire rises above the belfry.
