History

St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Church is the congregational repository of three Catholic churches in the Dayton Community: St. John the Baptist, St. James and Resurrection of Our Lord. St. John the Baptist was founded in 1894, St. James in 1919 and Resurrection of Our Lord in 1920. St. John was the first to embrace African-Americans as they migrated from the South to the Dayton area. In the meantime, Resurrection Parish was working diligently to find a home in response to the growing number of parish families in the western part of Dayton. St. James Catholic Church was striving to meet the needs of people in the Edgemont area of Dayton.

History

In 1946, on the occasion of St. Stephen's 75th anniversary, Rev. J.F.R. Corcoran wrote a brief history of the parish. St. Stephen's parish began when the staff of the newly transferred St. Michael Ecclesial Seminary began attending to the needs of the local population in Glenwood five miles upriver from downtown. A considerable congregation was soon formed, consisting principally from the Frankstown furnaces and miners from the opposite side of the river at Six Mile Ferry. One of the priests of the seminary was the pastor. The Rev. Stephen Wall, president of the seminary, purchased a large lot more than half a mile below the seminary in 1867 as the site for the new church.

HISTORY

The initiative of creating a missionary parish in this area of the United States dedicated to serving Catholics who came from Cape Verde Islands belonged to the apostolic zeal of Father José Maria de Sousa.

First contacts

Father Sousa had visited the United States several times between 1969 and 1974 with the purpose of gathering funds for a small "colégio" in the city of Praia. In 1974 the Bishop of Providence appealed to Father Sousa's superiors in Rome, Portugal and Cape Verde, asking for his stay in the United States to do pastoral services for the Cape Verdean immigrants.
