Excerpt from History of St. Patrick's Cathedral

Old St. Peter's, the Old and the new Cathedrals, are the great landmarks of our local Catholic history. Old St. Peter's was the scene of the Church's struggle for existence. In old St. Patrick's the problem of her co - existence with the new Republic was successfully adjusted. The new Cathedral commemorates her triumph and marvelous growth.

In 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.
