St. John's was an Irish Catholic church. Moved from the block next to St. Patrick's in the 1880s to the present location. ________________________________ From: ny-irish-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of irishcolleen45@aol.com Sent: Sun 12/20/2009 10:07 AM To: ny-irish@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NY-IRISH] Catholic Church on or near East 58th street Manhattan Hi George, Once I got the zip code I went to MassTimes.org and found that St John The Evangelist Parish which was founded in 1840 might be the closest church. 348 E. 55th St. New York, NY 10022 Phone: (212) 753-8418 Fax: (212) 826-1848 You might want to check the other nearby churches if that's not the one. Most churches during that time were ethnic. So if he was Irish, he may have gone elsewhere even St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Ave and 50th. Nora In a message dated 12/20/2009 3:06:28 A.M.

His name was Patrick Goodman, and I'm hoping to find out where his funeral mass might have taken place. From his address would anyone know the parish/church that he would most likely have been attached to?
