The history of our parish is a great read for all Americans and people of faith. Our parish has been referred to as the "Mother Church of Catholic New York" by author Leo Raymond Ryan in his 1935 book published by The United States Catholic Historical Society.  The foundation of Catholic New York is a story of piety, generosity, industry and courage that has continued to inspire our parish today.

We are working on historical projects and welcome our parish family and visitors to learn more about St. Peter's Church and Our Lady of the Rosary, also known as the Seton Shrine by downloading the historical booklets in pdf format below.

More detailed information about each location can be found under the About the pages of this website.
