Edward R. Moore

Edward Roberts Moore (1894–1952) was a Catholic priest, professor, social worker and author.

He served as pastor of historic St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, New York from 1937 until his death in 1952.

Ordained a priest in 1919, Moore was a professor at the Fordham Graduate School of Social Service before retiring from social work to devote his full attention to his duties as Pastor of St Peter's.

Moore was a member of the city's Slum Clearance Committee under Mayor Fiorello La Guardia and a member of the first Board of the New York City Housing Authority in 1934.

According to a history of the NYC housing authority, Moore "once escorted the former King of England, then the Duke of Windsor on a tour of Housing Authority Developments."
