This
church building originally was the North Presbyterian Church and was built in
1857. In 1908 it was acquired by the a Polish community and became the Saints
Cyril and Methodius Polish National Catholic Church. The Polish National
Catholic Church was founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1897. Most Polish
immigrants were devout Roman Catholics but overtime several became discontent
with the German and Irish dominated Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United
States.
