==Early life== Isaac Hecker was born in [[New York City]] on December 18, 1819, the third son and youngest child of German immigrants, John and Caroline (Freund) Hecker. When barely twelve years of age, he had to go to work and pushed a baker's cart for his elder brothers who had a bakery on Rutgers Street. He studied at every possible opportunity, becoming immersed in [[Immanuel Kant|Kant]]'s ''[[Critique of Pure Reason]]'' and, while still a young man, took part in certain politico-social movements which aimed at the elevation of the working man.<ref name=BONI>[http://www.paulist.org/heckerbio Hanley, OFM, Boniface.
