The original St Patrick's Cathedral is the oldest Roman Catholic church
building in NYC. As all churches of early days, it played a vital
role in are ancestors lives, helping them adapt to their enviroment. Now
known as Old St Patrick's, the cathedral on Prince and Mott streets had
served the Irish immigrant population since 1809.
In 1852 land for a new cathedral was purchased, but before the new
cathedral could be completed, St. Patrick's was destroyed by fire in 1866.
The cathedral was restored and rededicated by John Cardinal McClosky in
1868.
