Actually, Hell's Kitchen is a little north of 26th. I'd say the boundaries aren't definite, but Wikipedia says 34th to 59th, between 8th and the Hudson River. Chelsea is a different area, south of Hell's Kitchen -- Hell's Kitchen is a/k/a Clinton, not Chelsea. I was living in NYC when the realtors started trying to get people to use "Clinton" as the name and put out neighborhood maps showing "Clinton." NYers scoffed. 26th St. is Chelsea. St. Francis of Assisi is on W. 31 St., founded 1844; see http://www.stfrancisnyc.org/ . I can't swear that this is the right parish, but if not, they should be able to direct you to the current parish that covers your address, and that parish may be able to tell you when they were founded and what their mother parish was, if it was founded after the date you're interested in.
