Holy Cross Church: On August 12,1979 a ground breaking ceremony was held for the new Holy Cross Church. Terence Cardinal Cooke dedicated the Church on July 20 1980. Thanks to Fr. Anthony F. Moore, OFM the parish had its first permanent home since 1860.

St. Patrick's Church: In 1897 the Catholics in Long Eddy borrowed $700 to build a place of worship. Though the church was not completed until 1904, the first Mass was celebrated on Christmas Day 1903. On November 8, 1906, the Church was dedicated by Right Reverend Thomas Cusack, Auxiliary Bishop of New York.


Fr. Ignatius E. Smith, OFM: Celebrated 50 years of  priesthood in 2006, has been the cornerstone of both  parishes since coming to Sullivan County in 1995.
