St. Teresa's Roman Catholic Church was established in 1926, under the leadership of its founding pastor, Monsignor Philip Conran, who would serve the parish for 31 years. Located in the Castleton Corners area of Staten Island, the congregation met for many years in a converted house.
The present brick building was constructed in 1951 and dedicated by Cardinal Francis Spellman in 1952. |
