St. Mary’s Parish Celebrates 100th Anniversary in 2013 (visit link)
"...marked its 100th anniversary April 7 with the celebration of a special centennial Mass...The church was filled to capacity with more than 900 people in attendance...Father Urbaniak has served the parish of 3,000 people for close to two years. “It’s a great parish,” Father Urbaniak remarked... Under Father Urbaniak’s direction, the church has been spruced up in preparation for the centennial celebration. Last fall the inside of the church was painted and the limestone exterior was refurbished. "

"The establishment of the first church, a converted barn, was driven by a need to accommodate an increasing number of Irish immigrants to Cortland in 1853. The building seated 275 people.... In 1867, Father Bartholomew McLoghlin replaced Father Coleman. The new pastor purchased a lot on Main St. and constructed St. Mary’s of the Vale. Just before he died in 1888, Father McLoghlin had enhanced the church by building a transept with two vestries, a tower and a spire...Excavation began in 1909 and the cornerstone was laid in 1910. The church was dedicated on April 6, 1913."
