Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish is a Roman Catholic church in Bridgeport, Connecticut, part of the Diocese of Bridgeport.[1]
The Chapel opened in 1906 to serve summer residents; the number of visitors grew quickly and the church moved in 1911.[2]
The present church was dedicated October 8, 1950 by the Most Reverend Henry J. O'brien, Bishop of Hartford. The Chapel was designed by Andrew G. Patrick and built by E&F Construction Co. The church was dedicated before more than 800 who gathered to witness the ceremonies. Erected as a mission of St. Patrick Church, the Chapel is located at the corner of Ortega and Funston Avenues in Bridgeport.
In 1997, Monsignor Gregory Smith resigned after accusations of abuse.[3]
In 2011, the church was part of a merger of churches in Bridgeport.[4]
