St. Ansgarius Church (Providence, R.I.)

St. Ansgarius Church evolved from the Swedish Mission in Providence. The parish was organized on Nov.4, 1886, applied for admission into the union, and was admitted in 1891. The state of Rhode Island spent $16.5 million to purchase hundreds of homes and businesses, as well as two historic churches (First Swedish Baptist Church and St. Ansgarius Episcopal Church) that were located in an area slated for the construction of Route 95. St. Ansgarius Episcopal Church was razed in 1959.
