St. Malachy Roman Catholic Church was established in 1854 to serve East New York, at the time a fast-growing area of Brooklyn. A simple wooden building with a short tower above the entrance was erected on Van Siclen Avenue, near Atlantic Avenue. The church was 38 feet wide, extended back 58 feet, and had walls 28 feet high. Its interior was simply furnished and could accomodate 500 persons. Bishop John Loughlin officiated at the dedication service on Sunday, April 9, 1854. Over 500 people attended the service, each paying 50 cents for admission. The cost to build the church was $2,300, and most of the debt was paid off by the time that first Mass was celebrated.
