Description
An account of the resource
In Father Duffy Square in the Times Square area of Manhattan resides the beautiful bronze statue of Father France Duffy who had a long history as a military chaplain. The statue stands in front of a large granite Celtic cross and actually faces towards the priest’s old church, Holy Cross at 237 West 42nd Street. Born in Canada, Duffy moved to New York in the last 1800s and was ordained as a priest in 1898. He served as the chaplain for the Fighting 69th Infantry of the National Guard from New York where he served in first in the Spanish-American War and then a military hospital on Long Island before moving to the Bronx as a parish priest. During World War I, he returned to the 69th and served with them in Europe where he earned numerous medals including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre. When he returned to New York after the war, he became pastor of Holy Cross. After his death in 1932, the city named the new park at this location in his honor in 1934 and the memorial, designed by Charles Keck, was dedicated in 1937. The Memorial is now in the center of a major tourist destination.
