A presentation exploring the varied styles, and history of the 5
churches designed by Keely. His first was St. Patrick's, which was destroyed by fire , but rebuilt by the firm of Keely and Houghton. Another Gothic gem is, " The Immaculate." St. Michael's and the shuttered Sacred Heart were from the Keely firm. Keely's last design in Lowell, and his last, "Cathedral size, Church," was St. Peter's, on Gorham St. It was one of the outstanding churches in the Boston Archdiocese, and parish of Cardinal O'Connell.
