Community remembers St. Joseph’s

‘It is a part of a lot of people’s memories’

BY CAROL REIF
STAFF WRITER

Biblically speaking, a church

isn’t its bricks and mortar or, in

the case of St. Joseph Roman

Catholic Church in Somers, its

wood and 19th century stained

glass.

It’s not the place people go

to, but the people themselves,

a body of believers, a spiri-

tual family. Nevertheless, that

doesn’t mean that a few tears

haven’t been shed over the re-

cent razing of the sanctuary.

People had been baptized, mar-

ried and blessed upon passing,

so to speak, at the small white

chapel on Croton Falls Road

since 1894.

“It’s emotional for people,”

the Rev. John M. Lagiovane

said last week. “ ey’ve had

many sacraments there for

many years.”

ree years ago, the church

cluded a rectory, convent and
