dc.descriptionOur Lady of Czestochowa Roman Catholic Church (OLC) is part of Jersey City�s Historic Paulus Hook District. The land on which the church is located was purchased by the Associates of the Jersey Company in 1804. In 1830, the company gave land to the congregation of St. Matthew�s Protestant Episcopal Church to build a church, which opened in 1831. It burned down in December 1869, but it was quickly rebuilt and opened for services in 1870. As this area of Jersey City became more industrialized and welcomed more immigrants, the congregation of St. Matthew declined and the parish closed. In 1905, St. Anthony�s Catholic Church, one mile away, bought the building to help serve their burgeoning Polish parish. St. Matthew�s became Our Lady of Czestochowa Roman Catholic Church, a name taken from a shrine in Poland which houses a beloved icon of the Virgin Mary.
