OGDENSBURG Bishop Serratelli made a pastoral visit to St. Thomas of Aquin Parish here Aug. 29 and celebrated the vigil Mass for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The parish’s history in Sussex County began in 1881 when a mission was established in Ogdensburg and a church was built on Railroad (Kennedy) Avenue. The church was destroyed by fire in 1912 and a new church was built on the same site. The mission was raised to parish status in 1940.
