History

The parish was established by the Augustinians on 30 May 1899 with the Rev. Nicholas J. Murphy, O.S.A. being the first pastor. [2]

The first mass in Tompkinsville occurred 12 November 1899 in McRobert's Hall on Arietta Street. [2] A large chapel in the building of the Augustinian Academy (Tompkinsville, Staten Island) "was used for parochial purposes with the chapel of Our Lady of Consolation in Tompkinsville. [2] The chapel, which is situated on St. Paul's Avenue, was erected on 2 February 1902." [2] It was enlarged and renovated in the summer of 1908 and the parish numbered around 400 in 1914. [2] The second pastor, the Irish-born Rev. B.E. Daly, O.S.A., was a missionary before being appointed to the Tompkinsville parish on 22 December 1910. [2]

The modern church building was designed by the architectural firm of Genovese & Maddalene of 175 Rock Road, Glen Rock, New Jersey. [1] The firm also designed Manhattan's Church of the Nativity in 1968. [1] It was dedicated by Terrence Cardinal Cooke on April 26, 1968.
