The Church of St. Joachim and St. John the Evangelist is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located in Beacon, Dutchess County, New York. It was established after a parish mergers of the Church of St. Joachim, (Beacon, New York) and St. John the Evangelist (Beacon, New York). ==History== The history of St. Joachim – St. John the Evangelist Parish begins with two contiguous villages - Matteawan and Fishkill Landing. St. Joachim’s Parish began in the Village of Matteawan in 1853 and the church opened in 1861. The parish included the Village of Fishkill Landing. St. John the Evangelist began in 1887 in Fishkill Landing. Both parishes flourished. The two villages merged into the City of Beacon in 1913. Both parishes remained active and independent of each other until being merged into one on January 2, 2004.〔(Archer, Edw. D.,Parish History (2007) )〕 ===The Early Church in Dutchess County=== The first recorded Catholic Mass in the Beacon, NY area was celebrated at Mt. Gulian during the Revolutionary War by a French priest from Rhode Island. The first resident pastor in Dutchess County was Rev. John Maginnis at St. Peter’s in Poughkeepsie in 1837. St. Patrick’s in Newburgh had been established in 1838, the first Catholic Church in Orange County. A number of residents in this area attended Mass at St. Patrick’s in Newburgh as a matter of convenience.〔(Briody, Rev. J.H. in Hasbrouck, Frank, ed. ''The History of Dutchess County New York'', p634, S.A. Mathieu, Poughkeepsie, NY 1909 )〕 St. Mary's in Wappingers Falls was established in 1845 as a mission of St. Peter's, Poughkeepsie. In 1850, Rev. George Brophy became the first resident pastor at St. Mary’s. That same year, Fr. Brophy celebrated the first Mass in Matteawan.〔 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. Joachim and St. John the Evangelist's Church (Beacon, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
