John Hughes  

Definition

  • As bishop and later archbishop of New York, John Hughes was the foremost leader of the Catholic education movement in the middle decades of the 19th century. He not only defended the right of Catholics to educate their children in parish schools, but he also led a highly publicized effort to gain public funds for the support of these institutions.
