Children living in St. Mary’s parish before 1960 attended St. Joseph’s school located on old St. Joseph’s Way. (3rd & 4th, Spruce & Locust). I attended 1957 – 1959) 1st & 2nd grade. Looking for Photos, Records & or Classmates. Building was destroyed approx. 1960. Can anyone help? Thank You, Christopher G. Medford Lakes N.J.

While walking through Philadelphia’s Society Hill Neighborhood on my way to South Street, I came across some of the oldest churches in Philadelphia. I never stopped in, but just walked through the cemetery.
I was taken back by the old headstones, which over the years and since 1759 or even before, have lost their inscriptions and now stand as flag stones marking history. It was pretty interesting to see and a nice little detour on a nice day.

First Catholic Church I’ve ever been to that only has one Sunday mass. So crazy! But I like the simplicity of it. It’s at 10. Just do it.
Not sure if you can call a priest cool, but this one is. He likes a good cigar and an even better book. Gotta love it.

Also called Old St. Mary’s Church, this church is a short walk from Old St. Joseph’s Church and the second Catholic church founded in Philadelphia. St. Mary’s is Philadelphia’s first cathedral. By today’s standards it is a small cathedral but worthwhile seeing nonetheless. It has a really neat cemetery too.
«As to Old St. Mary’s firsts. The church was the site of the first public religious commemoration of the Declaration of Independence and the church became the first Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Diocese of Philadelphia» (1810 – 38).
