As a bishop and founder of the Catholic Church in Manhattan, he played a vital role in shaping religious life in New York City. His dedication to his faith is evident as he stands before us, holding a crucifix with reverence. This image transports us back to that era, allowing us to glimpse into the interior of a cathedral where men like John Hughes dedicated their lives to serving their community and spreading their beliefs.
