Good Morning, Folks:

This thread is related to my genealogy work and concerns my mother's side of the family.
Though I was raised RC, I had never heard of "Our Lady of Ostrabama. I have not been able to find a church by that name in Brockton, Mass, though documents indicate that the pastor, Ignatius E. Limont married my grandparents there. Now, there IS a church by that name in New York state, but I am looking to find information in the Brockton, Mass area.

Not sure how to begin to get my hands around this?

Best Wishes,

Bruce

I did a google search and the parish's website is still up: http://www.wawrzak.org/ourladyostrabrama

However, it says the parish closed 2001. The address was 696 N MAIN ST, BROCKTON MA 02301-2444

Bruce,

The Sacramental Registries of Our Lady of Ostrabama are at St Edith Stein Church (formerly St Edward's Church) in Brockton. The address is:

St Edith Stein Church

Many years,

Neil
