Section 5 of the history includes a mention of the defunct PNCC —“ St. Paul’s Parish of the PNCC (ca 1940). St. Paul’s was the third parish of the PNCC in Newark, NJ and incidentally was the only parish named St Paul’s in the PNCC.

EMILIO SERIO’S ART STUDIO, 30 Houston St. In one of the most imaginative transformations in the city, this onetime church and school is now the home and studio of a Newark painter and sculptor. The wooden building was erected as a public school in 1879, and served later as a tinsmith’s shop, Greek Catholic Church, social club, and Polish National Catholic Church. The structure had fallen into disuse when it was bought by Serio in 1970, but he remodeled and furnished it as a charming place for himself and his patrons. The old church is furnished with antiques and an abundance of art.

The Studio’s website includes pictures of the building and the history of its adaptation into an art studio.
