Our History is Rich and Unique

The Church of the Nativity in the Southern Hills was established in 2012, bringing the four churches, Immaculate Conception in Pompey, St. Joseph’s in Lafayette, St. Leo’s in Tully, and St. Patrick’s in Otisco into one corporation within the Syracuse Diocese.

Each of these parishes have rich histories of Faith and Perseverance. Details of Immaculate Conception’s history can be explored here. St. Joseph the Worker’s history can be found here, while the history of St. Leo’s in Tully can be examined here. You can read of the history of St. Patrick’s in Otisco here.
