John J. O'Malley, architect

In my visits to parishes, I have seldom encountered a sign or plaque giving the name of the architect who designed the church.  Fortunately, the Brooklyn Tablet has now run an article about the prolific architect John J. O'Malley, 1915-1970.  Please see the article HERE.  The occasion was his 100th birthday, with Mr. O'Malley's descendants visiting Cathedral College in Douglaston, which he designed.

Much of Mr. O'Malley's work is evident in circular churches and chapels in Queens.  A Wikipedia article lists his extensive accomplishments, including apparently some renovations or extensions. It appears that his brand-new churches (contrasted with renovations) date from 1950 until his death in 1970.  Archbishop Molloy died in 1956, and the following year the Diocese of Rockville Centre was established with Walter Kellenberg appointed first bishop.

Many thanks to The Tablet and the O'Malley family for publicizing his life and work!
