'Turnback Tuesday' features St. Michael's Church, School, Rectory in E. Derby

Turnback Tuesday is again looking at the corner of Main Street and Derby Avenue in Derby. This time it's St. Michael’s Church, School, and Rectory. The church construction began in 1906. With the due diligence of Rev. Paul Wazko, construction moved right along.

The basement was completed and ready for occupancy so that the congregation was able to hold its first mass celebration on Christmas Day, 1906.

The church building was dedicated July 4, 1907 with the school and rectory added in 1914. Wazko served as pastor from 1906 to 1924.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
