"Under the direction of the Diocese of Buffalo, Rev. William J. Schreck established the parish of St. Gerard's to serve the sparsely settled Bailey/Delavan area. He conducted the initial services in the H. Amthor Grocery Store at 1191 East Delavan on 8 June. The store also functioned as the rectory and school in the founding days." - "Houses of Worship: A Guide to the Religious Architecture of Buffalo, New York," by James Napora
