2008 is the Bicentennial of the Archdiocese. There's a lot going on including an exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York and a Bicentennial History. Maybe this is the time to ask again about the parish records. I've had a difficult time too and have yet to get a marriage record. I did get some baptismal records (just a letter, no certificates) from St. Paul's on East 117th Street which was a real breaththrough - they were for the 1850s and this information can't be found in the civil records (I looked at the Municipal Archives). It took me two tries to get this and yes, I send a donation and a SASE. I think it could be a win/win - the parish would get some added revenue and we would get the records we need.
