Holy Name of Jesus Parish is a church in Stamford, Connecticut, United States, founded on July 19, 1903. It is one of the Polish-American Roman Catholic parishes in New England in the Diocese of Bridgeport. Holy Name of Jesus Church is the second oldest Catholic Church in Stamford.
The first building acquired by the parish was the 1852 Duncan Phyfe House, located at 4 Pulaski Street. This fine Italianate house was home to Duncan Phyfe, a noted cabinetmaker. The existing church was built in 1925 to plans supplied by architect Henry F. Ludorf of Hartford, Connecticut. The parochial school, which had been closed, was re-opened by the Bernadine Sisters from Reading, Pennsylvania. Work on Holy Name of Jesus started on April 5, 1925. The same year, on August 23, Bishop Nilan consecrated the cornerstone of the church. On Easter Sunday, 1927 the mass was celebrated in the lower part of the church because the upper church was not completed. The work was slow, but steady. Following the financial crash of 1929, the Rev. Wladasz continued work on the church. On December 25, 1934 the first mass was celebrated in the completed upper portion of the church.
The parochial school, located just west of the church, was built in 1929, and the convent, on the other side of the church, was added in 1956. The entire complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. [1] [2]
