"An engaging account of a quintessentially urban parish in New York City—a local church community old enough to have encountered all of the nuances of American Catholic life . . . demonstrates strongly the value of scholarly study of church life at its basic level." —Church History

"Recommended for general readers and scholars interested in American Catholicism, New York City, Greenwich Village or urban history."—Catholic Historical Review

"Shelley's work is an exceptional and indispensable study of Catholic urban life in America." —Cithara
