Little Church of St. Thomas Aquinas
Post
"Flatbush Ave., west side, between Aves., M. and P. The view shows the old St. Thomas Aquinas R.C. Church, 1931." This small church building opened in 1885 as the mission church of the larger nearby Holy Cross Church. The surrounding area was still very rural, dotted with family farms. By 1901 the parish had 150 members, but with the development and urbanization of the borough happening quickly, by 1909 the parishioners numbered 700. The church functions were moved out of this building in 1930, when a larger church was completed on Hendrickson Street. For a time this building served as a gymnasium for the parish school, but services returned in the 1940s and continue today.
