I've searched off and on for many years for Irish records of my g-grandfather, Joseph O'Haire, who died in NYC in Dec 1899. According to his death cert., he arrived in US approx 1959-1860. First listed in US Census in 1870 as Joseph Haire.
Death Cert. lists mother as Margaret and father as Daniel.
I don't know definitively that he was Catholic - he married Mary Ann Kerwin (Kirwin or Kirwan) and was the father of three daughters, who were baptized Catholic, but not as infants. Family stoies that he was jailed for sabatoge, but no record of him in Mountjoy Prison. He was only 13-14 when he arrived in US - possibly forced to leave Ireland.
