Even though the Great Depression prevented the parish from fulfilling its dream of a permanent house of worship for almost 40 years. Our Lady of Sorrows School did open its doors for the first time on September 25. 1922. with 56 students in attendance. Certainly this was an exceptional accomplishment for a church which originated from the hard work and perseverance of just a handful of Italian immigrant families. A long. faithfilled journey has led the congregation of Our Lady of Sorrows to now carry out the same legacy of their Italian forefathers for the growing Hispanic population in our community. Today. as this parish reaches out to each member and to a larger. more diverse community with loving acts of kindness. they continue to enrich and inspire those who are touched by their works.
