There was some controversy on which pastor of Good Counsel Parish was the actual architect of Good Counsel’s existing church…….It seems in 1939, Father Thomas Callery pastor, was the motivator of the building of the existing Good Counsel Church. however, he passed away before the actual door that opened the church in 1943? Father Walter Henessey then took the reigns for the actual completion………..Any historical facts are always welcome…..Rich Connell
