Description

The parish was established in 1905 out of the Holy Cross parish for the burgeoning Italian community, who had—since 1897—been administered to by Father Ludeke and Father Malone. [1] The parish was merged with that of St. Francis of Assisi's Church (Brooklyn, New York), which had been established in 1898, to form the parish of St. Francis of Assisi / St. Blaise. The combined parish is located at 319 Maple Street, Brooklyn, New York 11225, the premises of the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. [2] Effective January 31, 2011, the merged parish of St. Francis of Assisi - St. Blaise absorbed the territorial boundaries of the former Parish of Saint Ignatius, wherein "all the assets and obligations [including the parochial registers and the seals] currently belonging to the former Parish of Saint Ignatius are by this canonical decree transferred to the Parish of Saint Francis of Assisi – Saint Blaise." The Church of Saint Ignatius remains open as a chapel of ease within the merged parish. [3]

Buildings

The St. Blaise's Church building was dedicated October 18, 1908, and the Rev. Joseph Bonaventure was given charge until the appointment of a pastor. [1] The first pastor was Rev. Vincent A. Di Giovanni; he was appointed June 20, 1911. [1]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
