Capuchin friars found a parish for East Harlem's German Catholics
East Harlem is still a relatively rural area when the parish is founded in 1886. Archbishop Michael Corrigan asks the Capuchin friar Bonaventure Frey to establish a national parish for German Catholics who had moved north from Yorkville. The Capuchins build and staff the Neo-Romanesque church, the third Capuchin parish in the city.
