You may not know his name, but you know his look.
When Patrick Keely arrived in Brooklyn in 1842 he got to work on his first Neo-Gothic architectural design, following in the footsteps of his father who built churches in Ireland.
Over the years, one stunning sacred space led to another. As they came to know his work people weren’t only impressed by Keely’s artistry, but also his faith and work ethic.
Many of his churches have withstood the test of time – his talent and his influence can be seen in buildings throughout the Diocese of Brooklyn.
