St. Peter's Italian Church was a Roman Catholic national parish serving the Italian community in Syracuse, New York. It was merged with the parish of Our Lady of Pompei in 2008. St. Peter's was founded in 1886 as part of Bishop John Baptist Scalabrini's Pious Society of St. Charles, more commonly known as the Scalabrini Fathers. Under consistent direction of the Scalabrinians, the church grew from a modest, cement-block structure at State Street and Burnet Avenue, to a parish with a large Romanesque church at 701 James Street at the corner of Catherine Street which was constructed in 1953. By November 1987, when the church celebrated its 100th anniversary, the complex also included a "modern" rectory and office building, a two-story parish center at 735-739 Willow Street, a residence for the ''Sisters of St. Francis'' and the ''Villa Scalabrini'', a ten-story senior citizens housing structure. ==History== In 1896, St. Peter's Italian Church was located at the corner of Burnet Avenue and Lock Street (which was later changed to 130 North State Street), situated north of Erie Boulevard East.〔 The church was originally called The Church of Messiah and was built by the Unitarian Congressional Society of Syracuse in 1853 who sold it to the Lutherans in 1885. Between 1885 and 1895, it housed St. Mark's German Evangelical Lutheran Church. The building was torn down for the construction of Route 690 in the 1960s." 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. Peter's Italian Church (Syracuse, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
