The NEHGS is proud to announce that we have just added 7 new volumes to Massachusetts: (Image Only) Archdiocese of Boston
Randolph, MA Town Hall Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
Records, 1789-1900 from St. Mary in Randolph. This database was made possible by a continued partnership with the Archdiocese of Boston and the work of our volunteers to bring these records to the public. The new volumes are listed at the bottom of this article!
This Romanesue style church is located on North Main Street in Randolph.[1] The land was bought, and foundation laid in 1847 under Father O’Beirne but the church was not completed until 1849 under Reverend John T. Roddan, who would also purchase the land the cemetery of the church would later be founded on. The Church was dedicated to St. Mary in 1850.[2] As the Catholic community of Randolph grew, so did the Church. The final addition to the church, built in 1872, would complete the structure that we see today.[3]
