Pius VII appointed Monsignor R. Luke Concanen, then serving in Rome, as the first bishop of New York. However, he was prevented from sailing to New York by a French blockade. On Carroll’s recommendation, Concanen appointed Reverend Anthony Kohlmann, rector of St. Peter’s Parish, to administer the diocese as his vicar general. Kohlman traveled extensively throughout the new diocese, celebrating masses and providing sacraments to individuals. To relieve overcrowding at St. Peter’s, Kohlman started construction in 1809 of the original Cathedral of St. Patrick in Lower Manhattan. He also established the New York Literary Institution, the first Catholic school in the new diocese.Kate Feighery, ” ‘Everything Depends on the First Year’: Archbishop John Hughes and his Fundraising Plan for St. Patrick’s Cathedral.” American Journal of Irish Studies 12 (2015): 57–76. onlineWEB, Egan, Edward, 2006-06-10, Our History: Seven Years and No Bishop,archny.org/our-history-seven-years-and-no-bishop/, 2024-04-24, Archdiocese of New York, en-US, Concanen died in Italy in 1810, having never made it to the United States.WEB, Bishop Richard Luke Concanen [Catholic-Hierarchy],www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bconcanen.html, 2024-04-19, www.catholic-hierarchy.org, On October 4, 1814, Reverend John Connolly was appointed the second bishop of New York by Pius VII.NEWS, Bishop John Connolly, O.P.,www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bconnj.html, Catholic-Hierarchy.org, When Connolly arrived in New York, the diocese had four priests and three churches: St. Peter’s and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, and St. Mary’s in Albany.WEB, O’Daniel, Victor F., “Profile: John Connolly, Bishop of New York (1814–1825)”, Dominican Province of St. Joseph,www.dom.edu/sites/default/files/center/mcgreal/files/DaHCHAP03x.pdf, dead,www.dom.edu/sites/default/files/center/mcgreal/files/DaHCHAP03x.pdf," title="web.archive.org/web/20141010035554www.dom.edu/sites/default/files/center/mcgreal/files/DaHCHAP03x.pdf,">web.archive.org/web/20141010035554www.dom.edu/sites/default/files/center/mcgreal/files/DaHCHAP03x.pdf, October 10, 2014, October 6, 2014, The Catholic population of the diocese was approximately 15,000, primarily Irish with some English, French and Germans.BOOK, Clarke, Richard Henry, Lives of the Deceased Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States, 1888, I, New York, R.

(File:Fordham University 10.JPG|thumb|264x264px|Statue of Bishop Hughes at Fordham University)When Dubois died in 1842, Hughes automatically succeeded him as bishop of New York. Having lost the legal battle over public funding of Catholic schools, Hughes worked to establish a Catholic political party. One of his other priorities was to address parish debts and loosen the control of boards of trustees over these parishes.Hughes decided to found an independent Catholic school system in the city, staffed by members of religious orders. During his tenure as bishop, he opened over 24 schools. By 1870, 19 percent of the city’s children were attending Catholic schools.Joseph McCadden, “New York’s School Crisis of 1840–1842: Its Irish Antecedents.” Thought: Fordham University Quarterly 41.4 (1966): 561–588.The difficulties faced by Catholics at the time included anti-Catholic bigotry in general and in the New York school system and a strong Nativist movement that failed to keep Catholics out of the country but warned that control by “the Papacy” was a threat to American republicanism.On April 23, 1847, Pope Pius IX erected the Diocese of Albany and the Diocese of Buffalo.WEB, Diocese of Buffalo,www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dbuff.html, live,www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dbuff.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20150701002328www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dbuff.html,">web.archive.org/web/20150701002328www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dbuff.html, 2015-07-01, 2015-06-30, Catholic Hierarchy, WEB, Diocese of Albany,www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dalbn.html, live,www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dalbn.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20150905075501www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dalbn.html,">web.archive.org/web/20150905075501www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dalbn.html, 2015-09-05, 2015-06-30, Catholic Hierarchy, WEB, History,www.rcda.org/history.html, dead,www.rcda.org/history.html," title="web.archive.org/web/20090430200024www.rcda.org/history.html,">web.archive.org/web/20090430200024www.rcda.org/history.html, 2009-04-30, 2015-06-30, Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, WEB, CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Buffalo,www.newadvent.org/cathen/03037a.htm, 2024-04-24, www.newadvent.org, This left the Diocese of New York with the following areas:

(File:The Riots at New York, 1863.jpg|thumb|256x256px|1863 Draft Riots)On July 19, 1850, Pius IX elevated the Diocese of New York to an archdiocese, making Hughes the first archbishop of New York. On July 29, 1853, to address the burgeoning Catholic population in New York and New Jersey, Pius IX created two new American dioceses:

• The Diocese of Newark, which took all the New Jersey counties from the new archdiocese

At this point, the new archdiocese consisted of New York City, Richmond County and Bronx Counties, and the seven counties north of the city. In 1858, Hughes laid the cornerstone for the present St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan.In July 1863, during the American Civil War, Hughes used his influence to help stop the Draft Riots in Lower Manhattan. They were started by Irish working men as a protest against conscription into the Union Army, but devolved into race riots that killed 119 African-Americans and resulted in the burning of many buildings. Very ill at the time, Hughes appeared on his balcony to address several thousand people, urging them to be peaceful and loyal to the United States. Other priests in Manhattan confronted mobs, stopping their rampages.JOURNAL, Man, Albon P., 1951, The Church and the New York Draft Riots of 1863,www.jstor.org/stable/44210148, Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, 62, 1, 33–50, 0002-7790, Hughes died on January 3, 1864.To replace Hughes, Pope Pius IX named Bishop John McCloskey in January 1865 as the second archbishop of New York.WEB, John Cardinal McCloskey [Catholic-Hierarchy],www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bmccl.html, 2024-04-21, www.catholic-hierarchy.org, When the original St. Patrick’s Cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1866, he rebuilt it in two years.

Corrigan, who was very close to the Democratic political machine at Tammany Hall, had had previous conflicts with McGlynn over his political affiliations. He ordered McGlynn to cancel his speech.
