Yorke, Peter (Christopher) (1864–1925)

US Catholic priest, journalist, and activist. Born in Galway, Ireland, he was ordained in Baltimore in 1887 after study in Ireland and the USA. He was chancellor of the San Francisco archdiocese (1894–99) and editor of its newspaper, which fought anti-Catholic bigotry. He also founded and edited (from 1902) a controversial weekly paper championing Irish nationalism and the rights of labour. A prominent civic leader, he held pastorates in Oakland and San Francisco (1903–25).
