Nora Murphy was the spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of New York’s schools for 24 years, retiring in 2005 with plans to do some research and writing.
That writing is now in print. The newly published “Youth Guide to St. Patrick’s Cathedral” with illustrations by Francis Keller and Francois Ruyer is the first guide to a Roman Catholic cathedral designed for young people and published in this country. A similar guide to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is available through the same publisher, Editions du Signe.
Nora, who lives in Bronxville, said she always loved the Cathedral, beginning from her girlhood, when “a visit to Manhattan meant a visit to St. Patrick’s.” The book explains the history, the architecture and the heritage of what is probably the most recognized cathedral in the country.
Copies are available at The Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Gift Shop on East 56th Streen in Manhattan and at Womrath Bookshop in Bronxville.
Nora’s next project: a history of the cathedral for young readers.
