1880, HOLY NAME OF MARY AND THE IRISH FAMINE, THE CROTON CONNECTION

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Stumbled upon an 1880 blurb from the Eastern States Journal--which details a collection by local churches for the Irish Famine. 

Among the churches listed is Holy Name of Mary! 

It contributed $22 which--in 1880 according to AI program Copilot---had the same purchasing power as about $698.77 today.
