Read Our Parish History: The River Flows On

Newly updated as we join the Niagara Falls Family of Parishes, The River Flows On is the fascinating story of St. John de LaSalle and St. Charles Borromeo Parishes. This in-depth narrative looks at how St. John de LaSalle Parish became the heir to Father Hennepin’s chapel-hut, where the first Mass in Western New York was held in 1679. It shows how St. Charles Borromeo came to be, and how the two parishes came together. And it traces the history of interesting people, institutions and trends in the LaSalle area of Niagara Falls. Take a look and enjoy the ride!
