Catholic Church. Diocese of Hartford (Conn.)

William Tyler (1806-1849), the first Bishop of Hartford, chose Providence as his city of residence. Francis Patrick MacFarland (1819-1874), pastor of St. John's Church in Utica, New York, served as the third Bishop of Hartford (1858-1874). During his episcopacy, Hartford experienced rapid industrial expansion and an influx of new workers; the diocese grew accordingly.
