Saint Peter's is the oldest Roman Catholic parish in New York City.
See History
of the Archdiocese of New York for additional information about St. Peter's
- "...Through efforts led by the
French consul, Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, an act of incorporation was
secured, on 10 June, 1785, for the "Trustees of the Roman Catholic Church
of the City of New York," in which Jose Roiz Silva, James Stewart, and
Henry Duffin were associated with him as the first board. An unexpired lease of
lots at Barclay and Church streets was bought from the trustees of Trinity
church, Thomas Stoughton, the Spanish Consul-general, and his partner Dominick
Lynch, advancing the purchase money, one thousand pounds, and there on 5 Oct.,
1785, the cornerstone of St. Peter's, the first permanent structure for a
Catholic church erected in the State of New York, was laid by the Spanish
minister, Gardoqui. The church was opened 4 Nov., 1786. The first resident
pastor was Father Whelan, who, however, was forced to retire owing to the
hostility of the trustees and of another Capuchin, the Rev. Andrew Nugent,
before the Church was opened. The prefect Apostolic, the venerable John
Carroll, then visited New York to administer confirmation for the first time,
and placed the church in charge of a Dominican, Father William O'Brien, who may
be regarded as the organizer of the parish..."

that followed.
§ "History
of Calvary Cemetery - Catholic News, Oct. 26, 1973, Thursday" - The
first Catholic Cemetery in New York State was established in the year 1785 was
located on the corner of Barclay and Church Streets, the present location of
St. Peter's Church..."Ecumenism, a rare occurrence in those days, played a
major role in the establishment of the first Catholic Cemetery in New
York. This tract of land which measured
100 x 125 feet was first leased and then sold to the Catholic Congregation in
New York by Trinity Episcopal Church. Prior to 1785 a portion of the Trinity
Church graveyard itself was reserved for the burial of Catholics.
In 1786, a portion of the new cemetery was set aside for the
erection of the first Catholic Church in New York, St. Peter's, and when the
first Church building was replaced in 1836 with a new structure, most of the
remains in the cemetery were moved to the cemetery at St. Patrick's Old
Cathedral on Mott Street..." (Narrative within a history of Calvary

"...St.
Patrick's was begun "between the Broadway and the Bowery road" in
1809, to meet the needs of the rapidly increasing number of Catholics on the
east side of the city. It was also to serve as the cathedral church of the new
diocese. The corner-stone was laid 8 June, 1809, but, owing to the hard times
and the war of 1812 with England, the structure was not ready for use until
May, 1815... It was then far on the outskirts of the city, and, to accustom the
people to go there, Mass was said at St. Peter's every other Sunday. The ground
on which it was built was purchased in 1801 for a graveyard, and the interments
in it from that time until the cemetery was closed in 1833 numbered 32,153..."
