December 1976

St. Agatha Church was honored in a special way on December 5, 1976, when Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy, D.D., then Coadjutor Archbishop, visited and presided at the Masses in the Auditorium.

Fittingly, the good news that permission was granted by Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll to build our church was received on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1976. How happy our Community of Faithful became, and as if overnight a new spirit of hope in the parish prevailed.
