Saving St Donato Church
Preservation Plan
Though not a city founded by Catholics, it would be impossible to overstate the imprint left upon Philadelphia by those residents of the city who practice this faith. Without the contribution of numerous Catholic immigrants who settled in the city during the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth, the cityscape of Philadelphia and more specifically the places of worship occupying it would appear vastly different. Catholics, many of them Italian, arrived In the city and municipalities surrounding it, drawn to America from the lands of their birth by the prospect of living the American dream of a better life for themselves and their descendants.
