St. Edward's Catholic Church, located in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, was constructed in the late nineteenth century. Its congregation grew out of earlier Shamokin churches and served the men that worked on the Danville and Pottsville Railroad. With Edward the Confessor as its patron saint, the first St. Edward's Catholic Church was built and then dedicated in 1840. In August 1866, a parish was established and its first pastor was appointed in September of that year. A larger church was completed by Thanksgiving 1866. Groundbreaking and construction of a third church began in 1872. The larger church, built out of local sandstone, was adorned with interior life-size paintings and frescoes. The church, which then served up to 1,400 people, was dedicated on June 6, 1880. It is within the Diocese of Harrisburg. St. Edward's was claimed by locals to be the first church in the world to use electric lighting. The electric current was provided by the Edison Illuminating Company of Shamokin and the light bulbs were installed under the supervision of Thomas Edison. The church operated a parochial school beginning in 1874. Run by the Sisters of Charity from Mount St. Vincent, New York beginning in 1875, it had 700 students and 14 teachers from the Sisters of Charity by 1911. The church was rededicated in 1969 following several 20th-century remodeling efforts that included the installation of stained glass windows, Carrara marble, and Stations of the Cross. The church was destroyed by a fire in 1971 and rebuilt over the next few years with parishioners having mass in the church’s school gym. St. Edward’s was part of a consolidation of churches in 1995 and renamed as Mother Cabrini Catholic Church.
