COLES LONG ISLAND HISTORY ROOM For additional information call (516) 676-2130 or email [email protected] HISTORY OF ST. PATRICK’S CHURCH In 1900, the congregation of St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Glen Cove constructed a new church to replace a small, outdated wooden structure which they had outgrown. Two wealthy Gold Coast families – one from Glen Cove, one from Cold Spring Harbor – joined together to contribute a peal of bells to crown the new edifice. The origins of St. Patrick’s Church can be traced back to 1849, when Father John McGinnis of Jamaica incorporated Glen Cove into his monthly itinerary of stops to min- ister to the handful of Catholics who had settled in the small village and surrounding communities. Initially, mass was celebrated outdoors, beneath a mulberry tree near a large boulder at Garvies Point. Soon, the congregation was able to lease a small second story room in a block of stores and offices attached to the grist mill on Mill Street (now Pulaski Street). According to local tradition, they “made a small altar and used boards and barrels for seating”. With the establishment of the Glen Cove Starch Manufacturing Company (better known as the “Duryea Starch Works”) in the early 1850s, many Irish immigrants who had fled the famine and poverty in their homeland were drawn to Glen Cove in the hope of finding work. The congregation grew rapidly.
