​St. Mary's & St. Mary's Nativity
​
Construction of the original St. Mary's Church began in 1845 and was completed in 1847.The first resident Pastor was Father William Howard of Ohio.  At that time the church had 780 members.  It was incorporated on April 28, 1874.  Sadly, on May 11, 1879 St. Mary's was destroyed by fire.  That year work was begun on a new at the present location.  In 1887 this church was again destroyed by a fire.  Construction of the current church was finished in 1889 and it was rededicated by Bishop Wahdams on August 14, 1890. The most recent damage to the church occurred at 7:58 am Sunday, April 25, 1993.  The church was full for 8:00am Mass when lightening struck the steeple.  No one was injured and Mass began after the local fire department checked for fire and repaired a hole in the roof. 

Funding to build St. Mary's Nativity Church began in 1925 and the first Mass was celebrated on Christmas Eve 1926.  Like St. Mary's in Constableville, St. Mary's Nativity has not gone without its incident.  On April 17, 1971, just three hours after Mass concluded the church was decimated by a gas explosion.  Miraculously, the Blessed Virgin stained glass window, which was above the alter was unharmed.  Today, the window graces the entrance of the church.   The rebuilt church was opened in 1972.   The town's old "curfew bell", which, also was unharmed in the explosion sits atop the new churches "steeple."

St. Martin's and St. John's

Under the leadership of Reverend John Dean plans were established to build a church in Lyons Falls. 

A site was chosen at the crest of the hill south of the school on McAlpine Street. Much blasting had to be done on this site. Work began in July 1909 when the foundation was laid. The Gothic Style church is built of brick with limestone trimming. Money was raised for some of the leaded windows by holding a contest. The prize, a diamond ring, was won by Julia Collins House of Lyons Falls.

In 1910 St. John's was dedicated by Bishop Gabriels (Article by Mary Teal)

Parishes today

Due to the lack of priests in the area all four Parishes are now under the direction of Father Daniel L Chapin, assisted by Deacon James Chaufty and Deacon Michael Lieber, Jr.. ​

​Each Parish has one Mass per weekend. Weekday Masses alternate between St. Mary's and St. Martins.  There are additional Masses and Communion Services during Lent.
