The sign on this church reads:
"St. Mary's Parish
This church, dedicated in 1888, was the third
St. Mary's in the parish. By the late 1800s, pa-
rishioners had outgrown the smaller St. Mary's
(now demolished), established in 1828 as the
first Catholic church in Charlestown. It stood not
far away, on Richmond Street (now Rutherford
Ave.) near Union Street, and served both
Charlestown and Craigie's Point (now Lech-
mere's Point) in Cambridge. Small, simple and
beloved, it was only 26 years younger than the
first cathedral in Boston.
