“St. Mary’s R. C. Mission was opened at Seaford, where a store- room on Pine St. was fitted up as a church. The first Mass was said here in April, 1938. A church site on Du Pont Road at Broom St. was donated to the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Wilmington by Leroy B. Hurley on July 6, 1939. It was made a separate parish on Jan. 1, 1945, by Bishop Edmond J. FitzMaurice.” (1)
