December 11, 2013
The Wikipedia page for St Thomas More Church on East 89th Street
states the following: "Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a parishioner
here until her death; however, her funeral was held at the nearby
St Ignatius of Loyola because of the number of attendees."
It seems that although Mrs Onassis was baptized, confirmed and buried
from St Ignatius Loyola, she attended St Thomas More during her
life in New York City after the death of the President."

Acton Bell replies:
My source was The New York Times. Many people attend churches
without formally becoming a member or having a membership elsewhere.
I am inclined to trust the Times' fact checkers rather
than Wikipedia's.
