  • A Brief History of the Parish of Saint Eugene up to the 60Th Anniversary
    A Brief History of the Parish of Saint Eugene Up to the 60th Anniversary On Sunday, November 6, 1949, Father John Dougherty, Monsignor John Fearns and Father Roger Franklin offered four Masses at the Club House Inn on Tuckahoe Road, attended by a total of 378 members of the new St. Eugene's Parish. The official document establishing the parish and appointing Father Dougherty as pastor had been signed by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, and dated October 31, 1949. In choosing as the patron of the parish the seventh-century Pope St. Eugene I, the Cardinal was honoring his great friend Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli). Northeast Yonkers, before World War II a more or less sparsely populated area, located between the urban west side of Yonkers and the established communities of Bronxville, Tuckahoe and Crestwood to the east, was by the late 1940S experiencing a period of rapid growth, typical of many suburban communities across the nation during the post-war years. The need for a new parish was clear. Cardinal Spellman had the right man for the job in Father Dougherty, then spiritual director of St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie. Old-time parishioners speak with great affection of Father-later Monsignor Dougherty, a man of holiness, vision and zeal, to whom we all owe so much. Father Dougherty's dream of a church and a school would soon become reality. To that end, 5.6 acres of largely wooded land on the northeast corner of Tuckahoe Road and Central Park Avenue-diagonally across from the Club House Inn property-were purchased.

He was taken the same day to the parish church, baptized and named for one of the patron saints of his homeland, John Nepomucene. The baby was the third child and the first son in the family of Philip and Agnes Neumann. His father, a native of Bavaria, owned a small stocking mill and was a minor village official. His mother was a Czech, a devout woman who attended Mass daily. Painting of young John Neumann by itinerant artist Young John Nepomucene Neumann developed into a keen student with a passion for books and for learning. He was gifted with a quick mind for study and a rare ability for languages. His schooling began in Prachatitz and continued after he was twelve in the town of Budweis, twenty-two miles away. He attended the Budweis Gymnasium (high school) and a philosophical institute there. At age seven, the boy began to receive the sacrament of penance. At eight, he was confirmed by the Bishop of Budweis on the occasion of the first episcopal visit to Prachatitz that villagers could remember. Old print of town and church of Prachatitz.
