St. Hubert Church, 9 Sadler Street, is located in Point Marion, within two miles of the West Virginia border. In the early 1900’s, immigrants from Belgium settled in the area bringing with them many talents and crafts, especially that of glassmaking. They were joined by immigrants from other Eastern European countries who came to work in the thriving glass, brick, coal and distillery works.
In addition to their talents, they brought with them a deep-rooted faith. This faith and a desire to worship formed the foundation for the building of the first Catholic church in Point Marion, Pennsylvania.
On March 28, 1904, faculties were granted to Reverend C. J. Kluser of Morgantown, West Virginia, Diosese of Wheeling, to visit Point Marion one Sunday a month to say Mass.
Approximately fifty people began to gather for Mass, first in the Quintenmont building, and later in the Maple building. A gentleman named Mr. Dietrich was instrumental in organizing these services, and eventually donated the land on which the present church stands.
In 1906, the first priest was sent to Point Marion, and Father F. A. Maloney signed the annual report. He was succeeded by Father Edward A. Glennon in 1908.
The original church was completed in 1909 and was part of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and was dedicated by Bishop J. Regis Canevin under the pastorate of Father Glennon. It included two mission churches: St. Ignatius, Bobtown (now St. Matthias) and Holy Family, Greensboro, (now closed). In 1951, St. Hubert Parish became part of the newly formed Diocese of Greensburg. The mission churches remained part of the Diocese of Pittsburgh due to their location in Greene County.
Over the years, the church and grounds underwent many changes. On November 26, 2003, two fires swept through and destroyed the original church. The St. Hubert parishioners would attend Mass for more than a year in the skating rink at the Point Marion Lions Club. Construction on the current building began in November of 2004, and on September 17, 2005, the new St. Hubert Church was dedicated.
