1950

OUR VILLAGE:
The foundation for St. Vincent de Paul Village was laid in April 1950 when Bishop Charles F. Buddy dedicated St. Mary of the Wayside Chapel at 811 F Street, San Diego. Father Michael O'Donohoe, a WWII chaplain, served as pastor to the chapel's poor and low income parishioners.

FATHER JOE:
At this time Bronx native, Joseph Carroll, was living with his parents and seven brothers and sisters across the street from St. Joseph Church.
