Saint Margaret Shrine

In 1941, the Rt. Rev. Emilio Iasiello, Pastor of St. Raphael Parish in downtown Bridgeport, saw a need for a satellite chapel to accomodate parishioners living in the northern reaches of the Parish. After searching for the ideal location, Fr. Iasiello found a plot of land on Park Avenue and with support of the city's Italian community, a small colonial style chapel was erected and named for St. Margaret. On September 20, 1942, it was dedicated by the Most Reverend Maurice F. McAuliffe, Bishop of Hartford. At that time, the Diocese of Bridgeport did not exist.
