To mark the World Meeting of Families and papal visit, HSP is making freely available the newest issue of its illustrated history magazine, Pennsylvania Legacies.

The issue explores the history of Pennsylvania’s Catholics, with articles examining the diversity—and sometimes conflict—within the early Catholic Church, the essential work of Catholic women religious in the 19th century, the organization and activism of African American Catholics at the turn of the 20th century, the important role of Catholic parishes in supporting immigrant communities, and much more.

From Monday, 9/21, to Monday, 9/28, the issue will be available online. To view the issue, please click here. 

Legacies is available as a benefit for Friends of HSP. Legacies is also available as a separate subscription.
