St. Cyprian Catholic Church is located on the southwest corner of 63rd St. (Cobbs Creek Pkwy) and Hazel Ave. at 525 Cobbs Creek Parkway in Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The first St. Cyprian Church was established in 2000 when Saint Carthage and Transfiguration of Our Lord consolidated.[1]
The current parish named St. Cyprian was founded in 2013 as a consolidation of six parishes in West Philadelphia:
It is named after St. Cyprian, an African nobleman who became a bishop.[2]
The current church was built in 1924. The campus also includes a rectory, daycare, and elementary school.
The parish previously had its own school.[3] In 2011 the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced the closure of St. Cyprian Catholic School, as its student numbers had declined.[4]
