St.Bernard is a Roman Catholic church in Rockville, Connecticut, part of the Diocese of Norwich. ==History== In 1848, 15 Catholic residents of Rockville met in a house owned by the Paper Mill Company to celebrate the first Mass. By 1853, the influx of Catholic residents was such that the group needed a larger facility. Skinner Hall located over the meat market on Market Street became the last place to attend Mass before congregation acquired the present site. In 1854, the Parish of St. Bernard was established with Rev. Peter Egan as the pastor and by 1856 the first church had been completed. In 1904, the church was destroyed in a disastrous fire and the congregation used the Town Hall as a temporary place of worship while the new church was under construction. The cornerstone of the present St. Bernard’s Church was laid during a ceremony five months after the fire. Shortly thereafter the chapel in the basement was dedicated and used for Mass and other services until the upper church was completed. The new church was dedicated on September 20, 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.saintbernardchurch.org/site/AboutUs/ParishHistory/tabid/141/Default.aspx )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Bernard Church (Rockville, Connecticut)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
