SAINT
EPHREM CHURCH HISTORY.............His Eminence, John Cardinal
Krol established Saint Ephrem Parish on June 8, 1966, and appointed
Father William Herrity as the founding Pastor. The parish was
made up from two neighboring parishes at the time, Our Lady
of Grace and Saint Charles Borommeo. On June 17, 1973, Monsignor
Edward S. Musial was appointed to succeed Father Herrity, who
suffered a heart attack and died, while driving in his car.
Upon Monsignor Musial's retirement in 1996, Father James E.
McGuire was appointed pastor. Monsignor Edward Musial died on
January 29, 2005, after a car accident. In 2002, after a battling
cancer, Father Jim retired and Monsignor Kenneth P. McAteer
was placed as pastor of the parish. As our history continues,
we are greatful first and foremost to Almighty God for his many
Blessings to our Parish family. We are greatful to all the priests,
deacons and sisters who have cultivated the growth of the parish
and all the families whose efforts and sacrifices made Saint
Ephrem the great parish that it is today.
