==St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church== In the mid 1800s priests from [[St. Peter's Church (Hyde Park, New York)|St. Peter's]] in Poughkeepsie served missions in Saugerties and Rondout. In 1840 Rev. John N. Smith, pastor in Poughkeepsie, extended his care to Rosendale. In 1842, his successor, Rev. Myles Maxwell celebrated Mass in Petrie's cooper shop. That same year Maxwell was named the first resident pastor of [[Rondout, New York#St Mary's|St. Mary's]] in Rondout, and Rosendale became a mission served out of Rondout.<ref name=Burtsell/> St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church was organized by Father Thomas Martin O.P., pastor of [[Rondout, New York#St Mary's|St. Mary's in Rondout]]. Services were held in the home of Walter Delmar. In August 1850 the first Mass was celebrated in the new church. St. Peter's remained a mission of St. Mary's until 1855 when Rev. Edward Lynch, assistant at St. Mary's, was named pastor of the new parish of St. Peter's, Rosendale. In 1874 Rev. Martin O'Flaherty became pastor. Given the ever-increasing Catholic population, attracted by the opportunity of employment in the cement quarries, plus the Delaware & Hudson Canal, a new, larger church building, designed by Arthur Crooks, was built. The first Mass in the new church was celebrated on Christmas Day 1876.<ref name="Burtsell">{{Cite web |last=Clearwater |first=Alphonso Trumpbour |author-link=Alphonso T.

Upon Gleason's death in 1894, he left a bequest of $500 to Kingston hospital. A mission was established in Whiteport. In 1897, Rev. P. Maughan, a Civil War veteran, became pastor and built the parish hall.<ref name=Burtsell/>
