St. Patrick - St. Anthony Church (Hartford, Connecticut)

St. Patrick - St. Anthony Church is a Cathedral-style Church located at 265 Church Street, Hartford, CT. The church is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford. It is the oldest Roman Catholic parish in the state of Connecticut. Saint Patrick Parish in Hartford was founded in 1829, making it the first parish in Connecticut, while Saint Anthony Parish was founded by Italian immigrants in the 1890s. The parishes merged in 1958 to form Saint Patrick - Saint Anthony parish. The current church sits on the site of an 1850s church destroyed by fire in 1875, and a rebuilt 1876 church itself partially destroyed in 1956. The combined parish rebuilt the current church within the walls of the 1876 building. The main church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in a Multiple Property Submission study of Ann Street Historic District Complexes in 1984.
