St. Athanasius Catholic Church - Baltimore MD - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

From the church website in part.

"In 1955, Father Sandalgi retired due to his age and failing health. He was succeeded by the Rev. Chester J. Czyz who directed the construction of the present church. It was designed to be a school, but those plans had to be dropped for financial reasons and for the decrease in enrollment. Father Czyz had the first associate pastor ever assigned to St. Athanasius.

It was during the “Father Czyz Years,” that St. Athanasius had a real growth spurt. Father Czyz started a building campaign that saw the construction of a new hall and church and the renovation of the rectory to double its original size. Father Czyz died on July 28, 1965. He was greatly mourned by the people of Curtis Bay. With the death of Father Czyz, Father Blazucki was elevated to pastor of St. Athanasius. He had been moderator of parish organizations and fundraising benefits designed to pay off the debt on the new church and the hall. His leadership was highlighted by $47,000 worth of improvements and repairs to the parish facilities. His ability to pay the construction company within a year without contracting a loan showed the loyalty of the parishioners, their love for their pastor, and their generosity toward the church."
