"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." --
