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.

Enthusiasm for The Bronx
I have enjoyed Msgr. Thomas Shelley's book, and I have learned much from it. My enthusiasm for The Bronx comes from education at St John's, Kingsbridge, and dad bringing me on explorations of the Bronx streetcar routes of the Third Avenue Railway System that existed about 1946. These car lines passed many a Bronx church, and Dad tipped his hat. Some trolleys even carried the destination "Protectory" on their lengthy roller signs, the turnback being on Tremont Avenue in front of where the Pro had stood.
