\"St.<\/center><\/p>\n

St. Jerome’s Roman Catholic Church<\/a> was the city of Holyoke’s first Catholic church. Holyoke Catholics were first organized in 1856<\/a> and the church<\/a>, located at 181 Hampden Street, was built in 1858-1860. The church was designed by prominent church architect Patrick Keely<\/a>. A fire in 1934 destroyed everything but the church’s brick walls. The building was rebuilt to plans by John W. Donahue of Springfield<\/a>. A chapel was added to the rear of the church, plans starting in 1939. <\/p>\n

Next to the church is the parish<\/a> rectory, at 169 Hampden Street<\/a>. Built in 1869, it is a French Second Empire-style building with a Mansard roof. <\/p>\n
