More about the book
The book explores the rich religious and cultural tapestry of New York City's Catholic community, tracing its roots from the establishment of the first church in the 1780s to the iconic St. Patrick's Cathedral completed in 1879. It highlights the dramatic growth of the Catholic population from 200,000 to over 1.2 million between 1850 and 1900, fueled by waves of European immigration. The narrative is enriched by stories of notable Catholic figures, significant events, and the diverse communities that have shaped the city's Catholic heritage over two centuries.
