Regina Coeli Church was founded in 1862[1] in Hyde Park, NY. It is Roman Catholic church that also includes St. Paul's mission chapel in Staatsburg, New York and an elementary school located next to the main church building.[2]

History

The first church to bear the name in Hyde Park was constructed in 1862.[3] Later a large church was constructed near the original foundation, which can still be seen today.[4] The current church building is on U.S. Route 9, also referred to as Albany Post Road, and is known for its high sloping nave.

Parish School

Found in 1955, the parish elementary school contains grades Pre-K through eight,[5] and currently has about 220 enrolled students.[6] The original building has been expanded once, adding a two-story wing to the back with 8 additional classrooms, in the 1970s.
