St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic Church (Bronx)

St. Gabriel's Roman Catholic Church is a parish located in the Riverdale section of The Bronx, New York. The parish was created in 1939 by Francis Spellman, then the Archbishop of New York, as the successor to the St. Gabriel's Church on East 37th Street in Manhattan, which was razed in 1937 to accommodate the construction of the Queens–Midtown Tunnel. A total of 28 lots were purchased on the south side of West 235th Street between Arlington and Netherland avenues to house the new church, school, and rectory. The pews, altars and statues of the original church were relocated to the new structure, and many of the church's Irish-American congregants also moved to the Bronx to be near their parish. Francis W. Walsh, pastor of the Church of the Assumption in Peekskill, New York, and president of the College of New Rochelle, was named pastor – a post he held until his retirement in 1969. The St. Gabriel's complex encompasses a church, elementary school and rectory. In 2004, St. Gabriel's was at the center of a zoning debate when a real estate developer unsuccessfully attempted to pay $7.2 million to build a new church and rectory and to renovate the church's school in exchange for the sale of air rights to build a 30-story condominium on the site of the rectory.

St. George's Syrian Catholic Church

St. George's Syrian Catholic Church is a former church located at 103 Washington Street between Rector Street and Carlisle Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The church is the last physical reminder of the Syrian American and Lebanese American community that once lived in Little Syria. History Originally three stories tall with a peaked roof, the structure was built c.1812, and by 1850 was being used as a boardinghouse for immigrants; an additional two stories were added on in 1869. In 1925, the building was purchased by George E. Bardwil, a textiles importer, for the use of the Syrian Greek Catholic church, organized in 1889 to serve the Syrian- and Lebanese-American community in the Little Syria neighborhood, also known as the Syrian Quarter. Four years later, Harvey F. Cassab, a Lebanese-American draftsman, was hired to create a new facade for the building. His neo-Gothic design in white terra cotta with a polychrome relief of St. George and the Dragon remains intact. After World War II, the Syrian and Lebanese population in the area declined, in part because the community was destroyed to make way for the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel ramps. The Eastern Mediterranean community later moved to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. The church briefly became a Latin Church parish, and then became disused as a church. In 1982 the building was bought by Moran Inc. and was turned into an Irish pub. The pub has now closed, however the building is still owned and maintained by Moran Inc. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building a New York City landmark on July 14, 2009. Marc Beherec argues that this church was the inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's "The Horror at Red Hook". The building was constructed by Ryneer Suydam, a man with a name very similar to that of the story's Robert Suydam. Beherec argues that the building's conversion from Suydam's Federalist tenement to a Gothic church by a sect he (erroneously) believed to be Nestorian, which began while he was in New York inspired Lovecraft.

Iglesia católica siria de San Jorge

La iglesia católica siria de San Jorge es una antigua iglesia ubicada en 103 Washington Street entre las calles Rector y Carlisle en el distrito financiero de Manhattan, Nueva York. El edificio es el último recuerdo físico de la comunidad sirio-estadounidense y libanesa-estadounidense que conformaba Little Siria.​ Historia Originalmente de tres pisos de altura con un techo a dos aguas, la estructura fue construida alrededor de 1812, y en 1850 se usaba como pensión para inmigrantes; se agregaron dos pisos adicionales en 1869. En 1925, el edificio fue comprado por George E. Bardwil, un importador de textiles, para el uso de la iglesia católica griega siria, organizada en 1889 para servir a la comunidad siria y libanesa-estadounidense en el vecindario Little Siria, también conocido como el Barrio Sirio. Cuatro años más tarde, Harvey F. Cassab, un dibujante libanés-estadounidense, fue contratado para crear una nueva fachada para el edificio. Se mantiene intacto su diseño neogótico en terracota blanca con un relieve policromado de San Jorge y el Dragón.​ Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la población siria y libanesa en el área disminuyó, en parte porque la comunidad fue destruida para dar paso a las rampas del túnel Brooklyn-Battery. La comunidad del Mediterráneo Oriental se mudó más tarde a Avenida Atlantic en Brooklyn. La iglesia se convirtió brevemente en una iglesia de rito romano y luego quedó en desuso como iglesia. En 1982, Moran Inc. compró el edificio y lo convirtió en un pub irlandés. El pub ahora ha cerrado, sin embargo, el edificio todavía es propiedad y está mantenido por Moran Inc.​ La Comisión de Preservación de Monumentos Históricos de la Ciudad de Nueva York designó el edificio como un hito de la Ciudad de Nueva York el 14 de julio de 2009.​ Véase también Arquitectura de Nueva York Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Iglesia católica siria de San Jorge.

St. James Roman Catholic Church (Manhattan)

St. James' Roman Catholic Church is located at 32 James Street between St. James Place and Madison Street in the Two Bridges neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is the second oldest Roman Catholic building in the city, built in 1835–1837 of fieldstone, with a pair of Doric columns flanking the entrance. While the neo-classical church is modeled on the published designs by Minard Lefever, and is sometimes attributed to him, there is no hard evidence of this being true. The building was once topped by a domed cupola. History The parish was established by Bishop John Dubois in order to relieve the overcrowding at St. Peter's on Barclay Street. He purchased an Episcopal church building on Ann Street, retaining the name of Christ Church, and asked Father Félix Varela to organize a congregation. Fr. Varela also established a free school. In October 1833, it was discovered that nearby excavation had rendered Christ Church unsound. Pending the completion of a new building on James Street, premises were rented at 33 Ann Street. However, some members of the congregation finding this too far uptown, instead purchased the Reformed Presbyterian church on Chambers Street. This would become the parish of the Transfiguration, with Fr. Varela as the first pastor. The first Mass was said in the basement of the James St. church on September 18, 1836. The following January it was dedicated under the invocation of St. James the Apostle, by Bishop Dubois. Andrew Byrne was appointed rector. Byrne was succeeded in 1842 by Rev. John Maginnis, who was in turn followed by Rev. John N. Smith. In 1848 Fr. Smith succumbed to "ship fever" contracted when administering last rites to Father Mark Murphy of Staten Island, who had contracted the illness while tending recently arrived immigrants. Alfred E. Smith served as an altar boy at this church when he was a student at its parochial school, the former St. James Elementary School, located across the street. The church was ordered to be closed by New York City officials in 1983, because of the danger of its roof collapsing. It was scheduled to be torn down in 1986, but was saved by the efforts of the community, especially the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the first branch of which was organized in the church in 1836. The building suffered significant damage in a fire on January 11, 2011. In 2007, St. James Parish merged with the nearby Parish of St. Joseph. The combined Parish of St. Joseph/St. James was merged again with the Church of the Transfiguration in 2015.

St. James' Episcopal Church and Parish House

St. James' Episcopal Church and Parish House is a historic Episcopal church at 2500 Jerome Avenue and 190th Street, in the Fordham neighborhood of The Bronx in New York City. It was founded July 5, 1853, becoming the first Episcopal parish in Fordham. The parish at first met at the Manor Reformed Church on Kingsbridge Road, then on June 11, 1854 acquired an old schoolhouse for use. On October 1, 1854, the Rev. Joshua Weaver became its first rector. Buildings The church was designed in 1863 by architect Henry C. Dudley (1813-1894). Bishop Horatio Potter laid the cornerstone of the present building on May 28, 1864, and the church was consecrated by the same on All Saints' Day, November 1, 1865. It is a "native stone" building with brownstone trim in the Gothic Revival style. It was completed at a cost of $25,000. The stone parish house, located on Jerome Avenue, was built 1891-1892 to the designs by Henry Franklin Kilburn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was designated a New York City Landmark in 1980. The parish also operated an apartment building on its property, built to relieve the housing shortage after World War I and as a business venture to raise revenue for expanding the church and parish house. It opened in 1924; however, the debt proved onerous with the coming of the Great Depression. The property was finally sold in 1924.

St. Joan of Arc's Church (Bronx)

The Church of St. Joan of Arc is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 174th Street at Stratford Avenue, The Bronx, New York City. History It was established in 1949. Francis Spellman dedicated the church in 1953. Father Henry T. Morton was the first Pastor when it was dedicated. The Church held the funeral for middleweight boxer Willie Classen, a 29-year-old Bronx native, who died in November 1979 from brain injuries after being knocked out by Wilford Scypion at the Felt Forum. Infamously, the Classen funeral at St. Joan's Church was delayed by over two hours, due to a dispute by his manager, Marco Minuto, over the bill for the funeral home. The traumatic death lead to changes in Boxing rules, which included mandating an ambulance be present at boxing matches and the "Classen Rule", that a "fighter must make it out of his own corner, unaided, of his own volition". New York law now gives first priority ("preferred") to "reasonable funeral expenses", which avoids funeral-day wrangling between the family and friends of the deceased and the funeral directors. In 2017, a mugger was targeting elderly women on their way to the Church, and snatching their purses. In 2025, Father Adaly Rosado, a priest who had grown up in the South Bronx, returned as the priest in charge of St Joan of Arc Church, the parish of his youth. He was named "administrator" of the parish, a common title for a priest who takes care of a new parish, for one year before being appointed Pastor. NYPD detective Anthony A. Sory was buried out of St Joan of Arc Church in 2006. References External links Official Website Page on the Official Website of the Archdiocese of New York

St. John the Evangelist's Church (Pawling)

The Church of St. John the Evangelist is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located in Pawling, Dutchess County, New York. It was established as a mission of Immaculate Conception Church of Amenia in 1869 and elevated to parish status in 1885. History The first priest to visit Pawling was Father Cheveau, a French-Canadian, who came about 1848. Previously, at long intervals, Catholics were compelled to journey thirty-two miles to Danbury, Connecticut to hear Mass. Pawling was a branch mission served first by Father Michael Riordan, pastor of St. Peter's, Poughkeepsie; then later by Denis Sheehan, pastor of St. Mary's, Wappingers Falls. During Father Sheehan's tenure Mass was celebrated once a month in turn at various houses, as well as, at Towner's Station, some six miles south of Pawling. In 1859 Archbishop Hughes appointed Rev. Charles Slevin, as the first resident priest. Father Slevin became responsible for the whole Harlem Valley. He resided at Dover Plains and built the church there. During Father Slevin's tenure, the Civil War broke out, and he was drafted; but the congregation made up the $300 fee to obtain his release and furnish a substitute. Dover Plains was chosen as the headquarters for the missions of Amenia, Beekman, Millbrook, Millerton, and Pawling, where there were no churches. His successor, Rev. John Arsenigo lived in Purdy's Station. In 1866 Rev. Father Tandy was sent as resident pastor to Amenia, with Dover Plains, Millbrook, Millerton, Pawling, and Sylvan Lake as out missions. Father Tandy celebrated Mass on alternate Sundays in the houses of parishioners in Pawling until 1869 when a church was built. In 1872 this church was destroyed by fire; arson was suspected. In 1877 Rev. Father McSweeney was appointed resident pastor in Pawling with Dover Plains and Sylvan Lake as missions. In September 2018, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, officially decreed the merger of St. John the Evangelist with St. Charles Borromeo, creating the new parish church of St. John the Evangelist-St. Charles Borromeo. The main parish office is now located in Pawling, NY. Each church retains its own Sunday Mass schedule but is served now under one pastor. References External links Doulin, Rev.
