The Catholic parish in Pomfret began as a mission of Sacred Heart Church in West Thompson. Services were held in Pomfret Hall before Most Holy Trinity Church was erected in 1885-1887. The church originally stood on Woodstock Road. In 1973 it was moved to its current location at 568 Pomfret Street, at the intersection of Deerfield Road. A house already standing at the new property, built c. 1800 and remodeled in the Colonial Revival style c. 1890, became the church’s rectory.
Most Holy Trinity Church, Pomfret (1887)
The house on the property that Holy Trinity was moved to was ALREADY the church rectory before the church was moved. Although I do not know how long it was the rectory prior to the move.
I grew up in Pomfret, belonged to the Most Holy Trinity Church and watched it being moved. Quite the spectacle!
I grew up in Pomfret as well and recall watching this with my father.
