Additional commentary.
1.
St Mary's Church
Is in an area that once catered largely to sailors, transient laborers, and local Italian and Irish dock-workers. When it was founded in 1851, this parish chose a name that reflected the sea-faring tradition of the local Catholic community. In 1867, St. Marys opened its school, and shortly thereafter the children began gathering here each morning before beginning their classes. Nearly a century would pass before it became official parkland. In 1918, the Church was the location of a famous marriage. Alphonse (Al) Capone (1899-1947), a Brooklyn native who later became the most notorious leader of the Chicago Mafia, married Mary May Coughlin at St. Marys.
