This Roman Catholic-turned-Presbyterian clergyman emigrated to America from Italy in 1888 and was soon named evangelical pastor of The Presbyterian Institutional Church, where he became influential in converting New England Italians to Presbyterianism and was named to the high office of Superintendent of the Presbyter…y; in 1914 he moved to Chicago, where he became pastor and director of the noted Saint John Presbyterian Church. Signed Program titled "Saint John Presbyterian Church. Program Dedication Week," small 4to (6" X 9¼"), stiff pictorial wrappers, Chicago, Illinois, 1930 May 18-25. Very good. Quit minor edgewear, but overall tight and attractive. Handsome 12-page program for the dedication and opening of this new church. On the large margin beneath an oval frontispiece head-and-shoulders portrait of DeCarlo, he signs in full, large and bold, in black fountain pen. Most of program consists of special services throughout the dedication week. Quite attractive and unusual.
