St Edith Church

Nourished by the celebration of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, St. Edith Parish is called to build a welcoming community of faith and service, continuing the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ. St. Edith Parish was founded in 1962 under the leadership of its pastor, Fr. William Yakes. The first Mass was held in Ladywood High School on June 25 and six months later, on December 24, Cardinal Dearden officiated at the dedication of the brand new St. Edith Church. St. Edith School, with children enrolled in grades one through six, opened its doors in 1965. The rectory was built during Fr. Yakes' pastorate as well.
