Saint Hugh Roman Catholic Church

 

Located at 517 Blue Hill Avenue, near Seaver Street, St. Hugh’s Church includes a section of Dorchester in its parish. The second pastor of St. John’s, Patrick J. Supple, 1908-1932, reconstructed the mission church, St. Hugh’s, so extensively that it was rededicated by the Cardinal on November 16, 1913.

The architect of St. Hugh’s may have been Franz Joseph Untersee, who lived in Brookline and built the towers for Mission Church and a church in East Boston.
