Historical talk on St. Patrick's Church, Albany

Earlier today this information was brought to my attention. A lecture by Frank DeNucci on the history of St. Patrick's church will be interesting and informative. St. Patrick's church became an anchor for the Irish in the upper Bowery section of today's Central Avenue neighborhood. After St. Patrick's was established in 1858 Irish Catholics no longer had to travel to St. Joseph's in Arbor Hill or St. Mary's in downtown; they had their own parish. Information on the lecture is below:
