There was also St. Bridget's in the 2500 block of E. 22 (near what is now Cleveland State University) that served the Irish in that area. It was very near St. Anthony's that served the Italian population. They merged in 1938, according to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. Then in 1961 remaining parishioners went to St. Joseph's at E. 79 and Woodland when that merged parish disbanded. Pat C. in Cleveland
