Saint Athanasius Roman Catholic Church is located at the intersection of Ashland Avenue and Lincoln Street. The building's cornerstone was laid on October 29, 1922, with the first parishioners worshipping in the new structure that Christmas. The following year, a school opened in the church. Mass was first celebrated in the current large structure on September 12, 1937. Construction of the current school was finished in 1946, and a rectory, convent and school addition were completed in 1958.
Today there are more than 1,100 households registered with the church, and the school has a student body of about 350. The parish pastor is Father Thomas A. Libera, who joined Saint Athanasius in September 1998.
