Excerpt from History of St. Patrick's CathedralIn 1785 there were in this city but two hundred Catholics under one priest. They were Irish and French, German and Italian, Spanish and Scotch, Eng lish and Portuguese, few in number, poor in resources, divided by racial differences, but united by love of their adopted country, of its political ideals, above all, by love of their Church. At their express wish, the first Catholic temple in this city was dedicated to the Prince of the Apostles. They established the church of New York on the Rock, and nowhere are the foundations of Catholicity more solidly laid than in this Metropoli tan See. They also have the honor of opening the first free school in the State six years before any public school was started.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
