Interview of Terry Nickey for the Elizabeth V. and George F. Gardner Digital Library Memory Bank. Nickey discusses his life growing up in Cumberland County including his families long connection with the County and how he came to join the Catholic Church. He also delves into the history of St. Patrick Church in Carlisle, PA.
For twenty years, from 1890 to 1910, Father Henry Ganss served as pastor of Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. During that time he produced historical and musical works achieving international appreciation. He has merited entries in two prominent works of reference-The Dictionary of American Biography and The New Catholic Encyclopedia-rare for one whose activities one would assume deserved only parochial notice.
