{"product_id":"catholic-new-york-city-richard-panchyk-9780738565514","title":"Catholic New York City","description":"Catholic New York City celebrates the religious and cultural life f one of the largest Catholic populations in the world. The first Catholic church was founded in the 1780s, and the diocese was subsequently founded in 1808, when there were only a few priests in the entire state. The 1879 completion of the country's best-known Catholic church, St. Patrick's Cathedral, was a crowning moment in New York City's Catholic history. Between 1850 and 1900, the Catholic population of New York City grew from 200,000 to more than 1.2 million due to a tremendous influx of Irish, German, Italian, Polish, and other European immigrants. Throughout the last 200 years, the city has been home to a wide range of fascinating Catholic personalities, places, and events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Panchyk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738565512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738565514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Richard Panchyk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925799567615,"sku":"9780738565514","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_33de3e25-2257-4ed3-9709-3b878785f6ef.jpg?v=1681079429","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/catholic-new-york-city-richard-panchyk-9780738565514","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
