Our Lady of Loreto Church was a Roman Catholic church located in the Ocean Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, near the neighborhood of Brownsville, in New York City.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
editOur Lady of Loreto Church was founded in 1894 as a national parish for Italian-Americans in Brooklyn.[6] Upon its establishment, it became the fourth Italian national church in the Diocese of Brooklyn. It served a growing population of Italian immigrants who were often unwelcome by the predominantly Irish churches of New York City, and which relegated Italians' masses to the basements of their churches.[7]
Closure
editIn August 2008, the Diocese of Brooklyn announced that the church building would be closed and the parish merged into Our Lady of Presentation in Bedford–Stuyvesant.[4]
