In 1668, he had won a seat in the East Jersey provincial assembly, but was denied his seat due to his religion.<ref name=":3" /> East Jersey in 1698 granted religious toleration to all Christian faiths except Catholicism. The British Government combined East Jersey and West Jersey in 1702 into the [[Province of New Jersey]].
During the 18th century, Robert Harding and [[Ferdinand Steinmeyer|Ferdinand Farmer]] from Philadelphia traveled across the Province of New Jersey, ministering to Catholics at Mount Hope, Macopin, [[Basking Ridge, New Jersey|Basking Ridge]], Trenton and [[Ringwood, New Jersey|Ringwood]].

The French envoy [[François Barbé-Marbois]], writing from Philadelphia in 1785, estimated the Catholic population in the new States of New York and New Jersey at approximately 1700, with over half of them living in New Jersey. Many French refugees from the [[Haitian Revolution]] had settled in Elizabeth. Vianney, Tissorant, and Malou traveled to New Jersey from [[St. Peter's Church (Manhattan)|St. Peter's Parish]] in New York City to provide ministry. The opening of mines, furnaces, glass works, and other industries attracted more Catholic immigrants to New Jersey.<ref name="tmeehan" />

To replace Bayley, Reverend [[Michael Corrigan]] of Newark became the second bishop of Newark, appointed by Pius IX in 1873.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archbishop Michael Augustine Corrigan [Catholic-Hierarchy] |url=https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bcorrm.html |access-date=2023-09-18 |website=www.catholic-hierarchy.org}}</ref> At that time, Catholic boys sent to state institutions were unable to attend mass. Corrigan offered clergy to provide that service, but the State of New Jersey refused. In response, he established the Catholic Protectory in [[Denville Township, New Jersey|Denville]] as an alternative to the state institutions, where Catholic boys were taught skills and trades. Corrigan also established a House of the Good Shepherd for girls in 1875 in Newark. In 1880, a group of Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual Adoration arrived in Newark from France.<ref>{{Cite web |title=

Wigger also came in conflict with German Catholics who were attracted to non-Catholic societies and religions. He also became involved in the controversy stirred by the German [[Peter Cahensly]] over the alleged bias of Irish clergy in America against German Catholics. Wigger created German parishes, with their own schools for the preservation of German culture. Wigger held the fifth diocesan [[synod]] in November 1886, which enacted strict regulations on Catholic [[funeral]]s and attendance at [[Parochial school|parochial]] and public schools.<ref name="tmeehan" /> He even threatened to [[Excommunication|excommunicate]] Catholic parents who sent their children to public schools.
