About Most Precious Blood Walden

In 1893 Fr. Charles Meredith was sent by Archbishop Corrigan to Walden as the first Pastor. Fr. Meredith arrived on July 1, 1893 -- the Feast of the Most Precious Blood -- hence the name of the parish. Twenty two years later, St. Benedict’s chapel was constructed in Wallkill to serve the Catholic community.  The original church at MPB, a wooden structure, was replaced by the current church built in 1954.  MPB school was built next -- and was opened in 1966.

• Mass Intentions

  The 2012 Mass Book is open.  Having a Mass said for a deceased family member or friend is a way of saying they are not forgotten by loved ones.  Traditionally a Mass is offered for a deceased person but Masses can also be offered to honor birthdays and anniversaries as well as special intentions for both living and deceased.
