Radio Interview: Incredible Catholic America

Do you know which Catholic Church in the United States has the longest main aisle or which cemetery serves as the final resting place for more Hall of Fame baseball players than any other in the country? And do you know the name of the Russian prince who became a priest in the newly formed the United States of America? 

Believe it or not, the answers to all of those questions have ties to the Archdiocese of Baltimore. George Matysek talks with Marion Amberg about those amazing stories and much more.  

Amberg is the author of “Incredible Catholic America: Smallest, Tallest, Oldest, Oddest,” a fascinating collection of more than 300 stories about the people, places, and traditions that make Catholic America unique. She’s also the author of two award-winning Catholic travel books and a journalist whose work appears in more than 100 markets nationwide.
