Paul R. Marchesano on September 16th, 2024:
"It was at this time, in 1881, that the location of St. Dennis' Church was finally changed from Lambson's Station to the town of Galena--a suggestion made sixteen years before by Father Villiger. But instead of building a new and more expensive church, as was talked about at that time, Father Bradford economized by buying the Galena Methodist church and the ground on which it stood for $700. The record of the transfer of thar deed, dated October 22, 1881, reads as follows: "George W. Chrisfield, et al. Trustees of the M. P. Church, called Nicholas Chapel, to the Rt. Reverend Thomas A. Becker, Bishop of Wilmington."
Dedicated January 15, 1882. This second church continued in use by the parishioners of St. Dennis Parish for fifty-two years."
