Our Lady of Sorrows

History

    Under the administration of Bishop Charles P. Greco, Our Lady of Sorrows Church was established in 1946; at the time, the Rev. Stanley J. DeKeuwer was assigned to the nearby Sacred Heart Catholic Church, also in Moreauville.  The new parish was established for Black Catholics in the area and placed under the care of the Holy Ghost Fathers.  A priest of the Congregation of the Holy Cross also served the parish in the 1970's.  A school was opened circa 1949 and remained opened until 1970.
