10. ST MARY’S CATHOLIC CHURCH

This building was erected in 1860 after the original church, built in 1848 on Eighth Street to serve the German-speaking Catholics of the town, burned to the ground. The canonized St. John Neumann (1811-1860) served as Bishop of Philadelphia, rode horseback to these and other Wayne County parishes to confer the Sacrament of Confirmation on his visitations.
