In 1914, the St. Colman Church building was begun  and was completed in 1918 under the second Pastor, Fr. James O'Leary. Fr. O'Leary traveled to Italy to buy marble for the interior and had it sent to Dublin, commissioning sculptors there to carve the Baptismal Font (Edmund Sharpe, sculptor), Pulpit (unknown artist), and the Communion Rail (unknown artists). The altars and statues were done in Italy It was important to Fr. O'Leary that some of the work was done by Irish craftsmen since, in the early part of the 20th century, Irish immigrants (like many other immigrants) were looked down upon. The eight paintings that hang in the nave were painted by Cleveland artist Dollie Bond.

You can see St. Colman from rt 90 just west of the 44th street exit. At night the towers are lit and it is quite a site.  Portions of the article where taken from the St. Colman parish website http://www.stcolmanparish.org/
