Mary Campbell Gallagher sends along word at this great-looking exhibit opening Friday at the Museum of the City of New York:

From an article in the NYSun:
The exhibit runs until 12/31. Fordham University Press is publishing a companion book to the exhibit.
 

An exhibition opening next week at the Museum of the City of New York will trace New York Catholics’ growth from a small religious minority to a politically powerful group with a wide range of institutions spanning the five boroughs.
“Catholics in New York, 1808-1946” — organized in light of the Archdiocese of New York’s bicentennial celebration — makes its debut on May 16. The exhibit is organized around three key themes: the centrality of parish life, the evolution of church-run schools, hospitals, and social welfare organizations, and the rise of Catholics as a major force in city politics.\

Thanks to readers pointing out a similar exhibit in Chicago!
