Bronx Catholic

This is an attempt to index references to The Bronx in "The Archdiocese of New York: the Bicentennial History," a marvelous 624-page book written by Msgr. Thomas J. Shelley. The 2007 book may still be available on Amazon or other book dealers. Use the alphabetic list of labels to the right or the search box at top left. The blog format places new posts at the top, but I also edit old posts with new photos from my travels around The Bronx.
