St. Camillus Parish was established on July 18, 1950; its first pastor was Fr. John E. Sullivan. The church was blessed by Fr. Sullivan and the first Mass was celebrated on Palm Sunday, April 29, 1951. The original rectory was located on Appleton St. The landscaping was accomplished by the generosity of parishioners who donated plants and loam from their own houses. The church was dedicated on October 1, 1961, by Richard Cardinal Cushing. Most of its original parishioners were drawn from St. James Parish, and the original membership was about 250 families.

St. Camillus' Altar was carved from Botticino marble from Italy and weighs nine tons. The Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin altars are made of Porta Santa Marble, each one weighs three tons. The beautiful stained glass windows depict the works of St. Camillus, the Patron Saint of the Church, and the Spiritual Works of Mercy. The new rectory was completed in May of 1963.

As we celebrate our 75th Anniversary, we invite you to be part of this remarkable legacy. Your gift will help repair our bell tower so that our bells may once again ring out across our community, proclaiming faith, hope, and love for generations to come. Join us in this joyful effort.
Let us fill the air with the sound of faith once more! Our fundraising goal is $350,000
For over 64 years, the bells of St. Camillus have been the joyful voice of our parish, calling us to prayer, marking life’s milestones, and reminding us of God’s presence in our midst.

Today, those bells are silent because the tower needs to be repaired. But together, we can bring them back to life!
