Mike, Nate, and Jessica talk about the Venerable Pierre Toussaint.  He was born a slave in what is now Haiti, but was moved to New York City and became a hairdresser to the rich and famous of his day.  From the money he made doing this he bought freedom for family members, as well as caring for many people including the sick, the orphaned, and the needy.  He also helped pay for the building of St. Patrick's.  Which is also why he was the 1st person that wasn't a bishop that was buried in the crypt by the main altar in the Cathedral.
