Since I was born and raised on Mott St,NYC where St.Patricks Basilaca Church is located,and the school is accross the street..It is alot smaller then St.Patricks church uptown..If like myself,you like the Godfather movies,the part inside the church,where Michael is becoming Godfather to his sisters son,is the St.Patty's church on Mott St,where I used to sing in the choir when I was a young boy..Going on 82 in May,but I still remember alot of what used to happen back then..By the way Robert DeNero was a young guy in this neighborhood also..Have a beer with me today guys !!
My Grandmother grew up on Mott St back in the early 1900's. It's now a parking Garage as I recall. My second cousin was married at the Cathedral about ten years ago on a hot summer day. No AC, lol.
Hi Ed,since your grandmother grew up in the lower east side,we are almost related..hahaha!! Happy St. Paddys day..
