"CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, (CATHOLIC) 

    The first Catholic settlers came to Ithaca about the year 1830, and divine services were held in a private house for some time.
 
    The first church organization was established under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Mr. Gilbride, at which time a small church was erected on Geneva street. The church occupies at present a convenient edifice on the corner of Geneva and Seneca streets, which was erected during the pastorate of Rev. Bernard McCool."
