St. Matthew's Catholic Church - 2002

St. Matthew's Church, C. 1940, on Center Street in Voorheesville, was built in 1916 and dedicated in 1917. There were 30 active families at the time. Because it was a Mission church, a priest had to travel from St. Lucy's in Altamont and occasionally from La Salette, for services for almost 46 years. It was a Mission Church until April 27, 1962, when the new church opened.
