🙏 NEW EXHIBIT ALERT! St. Rose R.C. Church began as a mission church of Holy Spirit Parish in Asbury Park in 1888 in a small wooden chapel on 2nd Avenue. The Belmar Historical Society's new mini exhibit displays a more permanent wooden Church which originally occupied the corner of 7th and E Sts. This wooden Church was moved to the west of the Rectory to make room for the present Gothic stone Church built in 1926 and proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

The exhibit also features a photo of the original pipe organ which boasts 24 ranks, 102 stops and 1,800 pipes; original stained glass windows obtained from Austria, a photo of the 1926 cornerstone, and a handwritten post card with the message, “This is the Church I go to on Sunday” dated Aug. 1907.

You can view the display at Belmar Boro Hall, 6th Avenue entrance, during open business hours.
