St. Philomena's Roman Catholic Church

The original St. Philomena's Roman Catholic Church was built in 1875 at a cost of $2,300 on a lot adjoining the Free Methodist Church in the village where the parish hall stands today. St. Philomena's congregation then built a new church in 1964 on Plymouth Avenue in Franklinville, NY; although it had actually been in use since Christmas of 1964, a formal dedication was held May 16, 1965. The resident priest at the time was the Rev. Henry J. Romanowski. When he died some years later in 1985, he was buried in the flowerbed by the statue in front of the church. Today the parish hall is still in use on Mill St. where the parish holds many events, functions, and parties. The new church features stained glass windows, the Stations of the Cross, and the statue of St. Philomena which were all executed by Larry Griffis, Buffalo artist and sculptor. A statue of the church's patroness stands in the center of a circular drive in front of the church. It is made of welded low alloy steel, a new material with a limited oxidation feature. Also, completed in the parish building program is the brick rectory, at the left of the church. Mr. Griffis of Buffalo is the creator of Griffis Sculpture Park at Ashford Hollow. In the fall of 2007, Holy Family R. C. Church in Machias, NY, closed and merged with St. Philomena’s parish. After the merger, then parish administrator, Fr. Joseph Zalacca consecrated the Holy Family chapel complete with the statues that used to stand in the Machias church. The chapel is located just left of the narthex.

St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church (Queens)

St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church is a parish church in the Diocese of Brooklyn in Woodside, Queens, New York City. Although the parish of St. Sebastian itself was founded in May 1894 by Bishop Charles McDonnell of Brooklyn, New York, there was no building for the congregation until June 14, 1896 when the parish's first building was dedicated a year after the demise of its architect Franz J. Berlenbach, Jr. A new and permanent church building for the parish was later erected in 1952, on the location of a former cinema. Fr. Edward Gannon was the first pastor of the parish. The current church building is located on Roosevelt Avenue at 58th Street. Historical background Prior to becoming a church site, the current St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church was the former location of Loew's Woodside Theatre, a movie theatre that opened on September 27, 1926, and designed by Herbert J. Krapp. It had the capacity to seat 2,000 people. On its opening night, it once screened a pre-release version of Buster Keaton's comedy film, the Battling Butler. Later in 1955, it was sold to the St. Sebastian Roman Catholic parish in order to found a chapel which was transformed into a church building. The construction of the church began with the demolition of the entrance and lobby of the theatre, where a Romanesque bell tower was erected. The theatre's original auditorium decor was kept and restored, along with "the domed ceiling, 40 columns along the side walls that were returned to their original marble with gold leaf capitals". Formally founded as a parish in 1894, St. Sebastian Roman Catholic parish was originally intended to provide religious services to German factory workers and immigrants of Queens County. Afterwards, it became the religious center of immigrants from Ireland. As of 2014, Sunday Mass attendees include those of Hispanic (45%), Irish (25%), Filipino (25%), and Korean (5%) descent; which in total averages 4,000 people. Masses are celebrated primarily in English, but also in Spanish, and occasionally in Tagalog and Korean as well. The New York City Organ Project has documented the musical organs used or formerly used by the St. Sebastian Catholic Church, namely the III/Rodgers Instruments electronic organ, the II/Midmer-Losh Organ Company organ in 1930, and the I/6 Geo. Jardine & Son organ in 1878 for the church proper, and the II/Rodgers Instruments organ for its chapel. After Monsignor D. Joseph Finnerty and Msgr. Michael J. Hardiman the current pastor and administrator of St. Sebastian is Rev. Patrick J. West. The parish complex includes a convent, a rectory, a parish center (with a fitness center). In 1926, the parish school, St. Sebastian School, was founded. It transitioned to St. Sebastian Catholic Academy in 2015. The rectory is located at 39-63 57th Street.

A special feature of The New York Times in 1901, mentioned the church, described simply as "the Polish church," among other Catholic structures on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, describing the group "for the most part...limit[ing] themselves to the functions of a parish church, in districts where social needs are otherwise supplied," without comment on other facilities attached. The parish is staffed by the Fathers of St. Paul the First Hermit. One of its rectors was the Rev.

St. Teresa Church (Manhattan)

The Church of St. Teresa is a Roman Catholic parish located at 16-18 Rutgers Street on the corner of Henry Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The parish is under the authority of the Archdiocese of New York. The church building was constructed in 1841-42 as the Rutgers Presbyterian Church erected in the Gothic Revival style on a plot of ground donated by Colonel Henry Rutgers. The church is said to have the oldest working public clock in New York City, which has to be hand-wound weekly, a task formerly completed by the artist Bill Dilworth. The church was taken over by St. Teresa's Parish in 1863, three years after it was founded. A special feature of The New York Times in 1901 mentioned the church among other Catholic structures on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, describing the group "for the most part...limit[ing] themselves to the functions of a parish church, in districts where social needs are otherwise supplied." The AIA Guide to New York City describes the church as “An ashlar church in the tradition of the others nearby, which antedate 1850. This one conducts services in three languages: English, Spanish and Chinese.” Ceiling collapse and renovation In 1995 the interior vaulted ceiling of the church collapsed, and 60,000 pounds of plaster fell, breaking through the floor into the basement parish hall. The congregation worshiped for months in a local synagogue, but eventually found the money to repair the floor so that they could worship in the church, albeit in the basement. Because of the great cost of repairing the roof, it was argued that St. Teresa's should be closed. However, the pastor at the time, Father Dennis Sullivan, and his parishioners were determined that St. Teresa's would not close. After the school had been condemned and closed in 1942, it had been torn down and eventually become a parking lot, used by the church and neighborhood residents. The late 1990s was a time of rising property values, as New York City began to revitalize and the Lower East Side began to gentrify, so the parish raised the money it needed through the sale of the parking lot and the adjacent air rights. Extensive renovation of the church included a new roof, new interior appointments salvaged from what was left from the old, and the restoration of three murals painted in the 1880s, depicting St. Patrick teaching the pagan kings of Ireland, St. Teresa teaching her sisters and the crucifixion of Christ. The church was reopened in the early winter of 2002 and rededicated by Edward Cardinal Egan, the Archbishop of New York, in early 2003. Monsignor Sullivan left St. Teresa's in July 2003 and was followed by Father Donald Baker who served as pastor from 2003 to 2015, followed by Father Jose Serrano. Father Alexis Bastidas is their current pastor. References Notes External links Media related to St. Teresa's Church (Manhattan) at Wikimedia Commons

St. Thomas More Church (New York City)

The St. Thomas More Church is part of a Roman Catholic church complex located at 65 East 89th Street, off Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, New York City. The parish is under the authority of the Archdiocese of New York. Attached to the complex is the church (1870), a single-cell chapel (1879), a rectory (1880), and a parish house (1893). The church was built for the Protestant Episcopal Church as the Chapel of the Beloved Disciple in the Gothic Revival architectural style. Under various names, the church building has been used by three Christian denominations, including Episcopalians, Dutch Reformed, and Catholics. It is the second-oldest church on the Upper East Side. History and design The church was built from sandstone from Nova Scotia in 1870 to a design by the architectural firm of Hubert & Pirsson. Architectural historian and New York Times journalist Christopher Gray wrote that "The Gothic-style building has the air of a picturesque English country church, with a plot of green in front and a square tower rising in front of the sanctuary. According to Andrew S. Dolkart, an architectural historian specializing in church design, the building is closely modeled after Edward Buckton Lamb's Church of St. Martin's, Gospel Oak, London (see Gospel Oak), built in 1865. 'It has almost every little quirky detail of the London church,' says Mr. Dolkart. 'The chamfered corners, the varying planes of the façade, the asymmetrical pinnacle at the top of the tower. It really captures your attention.'" Attached to the complex are a single-cell chapel (1879), and a rectory and a parish house (1880 and 1893). The larger Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth Avenue and 45th Street, relocated to 2 East 90th Street, forcing Beloved Disciple to merge with it (its name retained in a chapel). The old church was sold in 1929 to wealthy Dutch Reformed congregants from Harlem who formed the Second Collegiate Church of Harlem. In 1950 they sold the church to the Roman Catholic Church, who rededicated it to St. Thomas More. The church was renovated in the later half of the 20th century by architect Paul C. Reilly. Notable parishioners Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was a parishioner there until her death, and she had a Mass offered for John F. Kennedy every November 22 on the anniversary of his death, a tradition later maintained by her daughter Caroline. Her 1994 funeral was held at the nearby St. Ignatius of Loyola because of the number of attendees. On July 23, 1999, after the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash, the Kennedy family held a private memorial service for him at St. Thomas More, at which Senator Ted Kennedy gave the eulogy and President Bill Clinton attended. Jack Schlossberg, writer and John F. Kennedy’s only grandson had his first communion at the church in 2001 Peggy Noonan Fashion and street photographer Bill Cunningham was also a regular parishioner and a private Requiem Mass was celebrated for the repose of his soul by Fr Kevin Madigan on June 30, 2016. The private funeral for Lee Bouvier Radziwill was held at the church on 25 February 2019. References
