Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
The Reverend Thomas B. Healy formed the first Catholic congregation in
Lakewood in 1889. In 1890, a frame chapel was erected on the south side
of Second Street, later to be moved to Madison Avenue. When that church
needed to expand, the little, historic chapel was moved to the grounds
of Georgian Court College.
