St. Mary's Church (Bronx)

The Church of St. Mary is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at White Plains Road at 215th Street in Williamsbridge, Bronx, New York City, New York. The church served the Williamsbridge area along with a parish school on East 215th Street, and later in the 1950s was closed and relocated to Carpenter Avenue and East 224th Street to accommodate the growing student population and shift of parishioners. The parish church was closed partly due to the community's changing demographics in the 1990s, reducing the Catholic population to a point where the Archdiocese of New York could no longer support a Catholic parish in the area. Parish history St. Mary's was established first as a mission of St. Raymond's Church around 1866. The Rev. Patrick O'Sullivan established St. Mary's as a parish in 1886. In 1914, it was reported that the parishioners numbered 1,100 and that the church property, which included the school, was valued at $50,000, with a debt of $12,000. The Archdiocese announced on January 19, 2007 the church's closure. In the 1940s to 1960s the parish population was mainly of Irish descent and also included many Italians and Italian-Americans who otherwise would have attended the nearby Italian National church, Immaculate Conception, on nearby Gun Hill Road. The Italian church was administered by the Capuchin Franciscans who were mainly immigrants from Italy. St. Mary was the official archdiocesan parish church for the area known as Williamsbridge. The church was in the center of what was once the town square of Williamsbridge, before that section of Westchester County was absorbed by the borough of the Bronx in the establishment of Greater New York City. In the 1950s and early 60s the pastor of St. Mary's was Rt. Rev. Monsignor Edward Giblin. His associate pastors were Father Joseph H. Traube and Father Raymond Foster. Father Traube went on to become pastor of St Gabriel's Church in New Rochelle. He died at about age 64. St. Mary's Parish School In 1914, it was reported that "the school, established in 1908, is conducted by 3 Ursuline Nuns and 4 lay teachers, and there are 103 boys and 107 girls enrolled." Notable parishioners/alumni Sal Mineo - Academy Award-nominated actor. Raymond Danowski Jr. - Donated the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library to Emory University. Pastors Rev. Patrick O'Sullivan (1886-1888) Rev. Edward J. O'Flynn (1888-1890) Rev. James W. Kelly (1890-1892) Rev. John J. Carr (1892-), assisted in 1914 by the Rev. Edward V. Higgins References
St. Mary Church (Grand Street, Manhattan)

The Church of St. Mary is a parish church in the Archdiocese of New York, located at 438–440 Grand Street between Pitt and Attorney Streets on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. Established in 1826 to serve Irish immigrants living in the neighborhood, it is the third oldest Catholic parish in New York. St. Mary's will celebrate its bicentennial as a parish in 2026. The church itself was built in 1832–33, and was then enlarged and had its facade replaced in 1871 by the prolific church architect Patrick Charles Keely. The original portion is the second-oldest Catholic structure in the city, after St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, which was built in 1815. History Before their sanctuary was built, services were held in a former Presbyterian church on Sheriff Street. Rev. Hatton Walsh was named pastor. In 1831, anti-Catholic nativists set fire to the church, but it was not completely destroyed and continued to operate. The first New York chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was established in 1836 at nearby St. James Church partly in response. In 1832 the cornerstone was laid for the present building, which was dedicated in June 1833. Rev. William J. Quarter, curate at St. Peter's on Barclay Street, was named pastor. Quarter would later become the first bishop of Chicago. Originally designed in the Greek Revival style, the new red brick facade designed by Patrick Charles Keely in 1864 was in the Romanesque style and featured twin spires. Other changes were made by Lawrence O'Connor in 1871. The Irish-American prelate, Rev. Michael McKenna, who had ties to Irish nationalist movement, was assistant pastor here in 1868 before becoming the first pastor of the newly separated – from St. Mary's parish – parish of St. Rose of Lima. Charles Edward McDonnell, future Bishop of Brooklyn, was assigned as curate here in the autumn of 1878. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated St. Mary Church as an individual city landmark on April 7, 2026, citing the building's ties to the history of New York City's immigrants. The LPC described the church as the Lower East Side's oldest sanctuary for a Catholic church.

St. Mary's Church (Rochester, New York)

St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church and Rectory are located in downtown Rochester, New York. St. Mary's Parish was created in 1834 as Rochester's second Roman Catholic parish, after St. Patrick's Parish. Description The cornerstone of the church was blessed 18 September 1853 by Bishop of Buffalo John Timon (the Diocese of Rochester was not formed until 1868). The building was dedicated, with Timon presiding, on 24 October 1858. The architect of the church is unknown, but design influences of Richard Upjohn and other church architects are apparent. It was where celebrated actress and ballerina Giuseppina Morlacchi and cowboy scout and actor Texas Jack Omohundro were married on August 31, 1873. A brick rectory was built in 1905, replacing an earlier rectory. A spire and belfry, designed by Richard B. Arnold, were added in 1939-1940, and a 10-note Deagan tower chime was installed in time to be played for Christmas 1939. The north tower may have been intended to have a spire originally, but financial difficulties may have precluded adding it earlier. The original cross atop the spire was felled in 2017 by a windstorm, its copper cladding having long since turned green with corrosion; it was replaced with a new gilded cross in June 2018. The church and rectory were added to the National Register of Historic Places on 12 March 1992. References
Église Sainte-Marie de Rochester

L'église Sainte-Marie (St. Mary's Church) est une église catholique de Rochester aux États-Unis dans l'État de New York. Elle dépend du diocèse de Rochester. Histoire et description La paroisse Sainte-Marie est érigée en 1834. C'est donc la deuxième paroisse la plus ancienne après celle de Saint-Patrick (1823), fermée en 1979. La première pierre de l'église actuelle est bénie le 18 septembre 1853 par l'évêque de Buffalo, Mgr Timon (le diocèse de Rochester est fondé en 1868). L'édifice en forme de croix latine reçoit sa dédicace le 24 octobre 1858. L'architecte en est inconnu, mais on note l'influence de Richard Upjohn et d'autres architectes d'églises de l'époque. Elle est de style néo-roman, en briques rouges, avec à l'intérieur des éléments éclectiques (colonnes corinthiennes soutenant les tribunes latérales). Les vitraux de la nef dépeignent les litanies de la Vierge et ont été installés en 1947. Le presbytère de briques actuel date de 1905, remplaçant une construction plus ancienne. La flèche et le beffroi, dessinés par Richard B. Arnold, ont été ajoutés en 1939-1940 et une tour avec chambre de cloches a été construite juste à temps pour que les cloches jouent à la Noël 1939. La tour Nord aurait dû être coiffée d'une flèche, mais des difficultés financières l'en ont empêchée. L'intérieur a été dépouillé de son mobilier original (sauf les bancs), et le maître-autel a disparu selon une interprétation radicale des prescriptions post-conciliaires. De même, le portail central de la façade Ouest (éclairée par une grande rosace) a été muré, l'entrée se faisant désormais par une petite porte vitrée avec passerelle pour personnes à mobilité réduite à l'angle Sud-Ouest. La croix dorée de la flèche a été installée en juin 2018, après que l'originale est tombée au cours d'une tempête en 2017. L'église et son presbytère ont été ajoutés au Registre national des lieux historiques, le 12 mars 1992.

St. Mary's Church (Swormville, New York)

St. Mary's Catholic Church is a church located on the corner of Transit (New York State Route 78) and Stahley roads in Swormville, New York, in the United States. Originally known as St. Mary's Church of the Assumption at Transit, the building was constructed of about 260,000 bricks. John Nepomucene Neumann (later to be named St. John Neumann) started to visit Swormville, celebrating mass in local homes, barns and fields. In 1839 he instructed that a small house would be made to hold mass. Bishop John Timon established the first catholic church (St. Mary's) of the town of Clarence, New York. In 1861, Father Michael Schinabeak made plans for a church to be constructed. Construction began in 1862 and finished in fall of 1865. The official opening of the Church was in January 1866. In 2010 a new Church was constructed behind the old St. Mary's. St. Mary's was one of many churches that had clergy who were accused of sexual abuse. Robert Yetter was accused by young men of making inappropriate sexual advances. The deacon of St. Mary's later would call on Bishop Richard Joseph Malone to resign. References Kohler, C. Douglas.

St. Mary & St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church

St Mary and St. Antonios Coptic Orthodox Church (Coptic: Ϯ transliteration: ti.eklyseya en.remenkimi en.orthodoxos ente fi.ethowab Maria nem fi.ethowab Antonios) is located in Ridgewood, Queens and was the oldest Coptic Orthodox parish in Queens. It is one of the 287 Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States. History St. Mary & St. Antonios Church, being one of the oldest Coptic Orthodox churches in North America, started in March 1972, and is the first Coptic Orthodox parish in New York as well as the third Coptic parish in the US, the first two being St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Jersey City and St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Los Angeles. After a few months, however, St. George Coptic Orthodox Church was established in Brooklyn, and eventually, Coptic parishes started popping up throughout New York City as well as up-state New York. This led to the establishment of about 15 Coptic Orthodox Churches in New York State. After the church was built, in a pastoral visit by Pope Shenouda III, the parish was consecrated in September 1989. The liturgies are currently held by three priests, as there are over 300 Coptic families served by St. Mary & St. Antonios Church.

St. Michael's Church (Brooklyn)

St Michael's Catholic Church, officially the Church of St. Michael, is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Diocese of Brooklyn, located at 352 42nd Street at Fourth Avenue in the [Bay Ridge neighborhood now considered Sunset Park, Brooklyn, New York City. Before the founding of St. Michael's parish in 1870, Catholics in the area had to travel to mass at either St. John the Evangelist at 21st St. or St. Patrick's in Fort Hamilton. The first pastor was Rev. Michael J. Hickey. The current church was built 1905, and was designed by noted church architect Raymond F. Almirall. The exterior is in early Romanesque. Often referred to as Brooklyn's own "Sacré-Cœur", the domed tower once was the second tallest building in Brooklyn after the Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower, until a late 2000s high rise development claimed that title. St. Michael's parochial school opened in 1886; it closed in 2005. In popular culture The comedy film Heaven Help Us (1985) was filmed in the neighborhood, using external and internal shots of the church and the now closed St. Michael's Parish School as the fictional St. Basil's Church and St. Basil's School, run by the factual Order of St. Basil.

The Church of St. Monica, commonly referred to as St. Monica's, is a parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 413 East 79th Street, Manhattan, New York City. The parish was established in 1879 and in 2015 merged with nearby St. Elizabeth of Hungary and St. Stephen of Hungary churches.

In 1892, the address was listed as 409 East 79th Street. John J. Boyle served as acting rector at St. Monica's before becoming the founding pastor of St. Luke's Church (Bronx, New York) in 1897. In 2015, the Archdiocese of New York ordered St. Monica's merged with St. Elizabeth's and St. Stephen's to better serve 21st century Yorkville. The merged parish, which holds services at St. Monica's, is known as The Roman Catholic Parish of St. Monica, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Stephen of Hungary. As a result of the merger, St. Monica's parish boundaries shifted slightly. Parish school The parish school opened in 1883, operated by the Sisters of Charity of New York.

St. Nicholas Park

St. Nicholas Park is a public park in Manhattan, New York City, between the neighborhoods of Harlem, Hamilton Heights and Manhattanville. The nearly 23-acre (93,000 m2) park is contained by 141st Street to the north, 128th Street to the south, St. Nicholas Terrace to the west, and St. Nicholas Avenue to the east. History In 1895, the first land for the park was acquired upon the condemnation of land for the Croton Aqueduct. After additional property was acquired, construction on the park began in 1906. Like the streets on its eastern and western borders, the park was named after Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of Amsterdam whose likeness adorned one of the ships that brought the first Dutch settlers to New Amsterdam. Parks Commissioner Samuel Parsons designed the park himself. The park next expanded in 1909, when the park's southern boundary was extended to 128th Street. In 1931, a playground opened along 129th Street. A new playground was erected on this site in 1965. Features St. Nicholas Park contains Alexander Hamilton's historic home, The Grange. Now designated as the Hamilton Grange National Memorial, it was moved 500 feet (150 m) in 2008 from Convent Avenue to the north side of St. Nicholas Park, facing 141st Street. The Grange was considered a "country home" when it was built in 1802, and its new location is within the boundaries of Hamilton's original 32-acre (130,000 m2) estate. Much of City College of New York's campus, including Shepard Hall, is just across St. Nicholas Terrace. The wooded park features basketball courts, playgrounds, handball courts, a dog park, and barbecue areas maintained by NYC Parks. Other attractions include large Manhattan schist outcrops, and monarch butterflies that cover the butterfly bushes at migration time. Transportation The park can be reached via the New York City Subway's IND Eighth Avenue Line at the 125th Street (A, ​B, ​C, and ​D trains), 135th Street (B and ​C trains), or 145th Street (A, ​B, ​C, and ​D trains) stations. In popular culture The park is the setting for a scene from the 2014 independent film The Mend, starring Josh Lucas.
