This Day in Pelham History
January 11

01/11/1896 - The Parish of St. Catharine of Alexandria is founded in Pelhamville, part of today's Village of Pelham.  The Parish was founded as an out-mission on January 11, 1896 by St. Gabriel's Church, New Rochelle.  It was constituted as a separate Parish later that year on December 8, 1986.  According to Barr, "The land for the Church was given by Patrick and Catharine Farrell, and a temporary Church built.  On May 13, 1896 The Pelham Press announced that 'The cornerstone of St. Catharine's Church was laid last Sunday, with impressive ceremonies."
