History

The first recorded Mass celebrated in Westport was said in 1853 by Rev. John Brady of Norwalk, in the Universalist Church on Main Street. For many years Westport was a mission of St. Mary's Church in Norwalk. [1] A church built by Rev. Dr. Mulligan was dedicated on August 15, 1860. In 1876, Rev. M.P. Lawlor was made pastor in Fairfield, with responsibility for Westport as well. [2]
