Church of the Holy Cross (Troy, New York)

The Church of the Holy Cross is a church in Troy, New York, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in New York in 1973. It borders the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus to the East and South. The church was founded by Mary Warren in the early 1840s. Under the direction of Mary Warren's son, Nathan B. Warren, the church nave was built from designs by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1844. The chancel addition, by Richard Upjohn, was completed in late 1848 and dedicated in January, 1849. In 1846, the Church instituted one of the first choirs at an Episcopal church in the United States. During the full choral service, the psalter, creed and responses of the English Cathedral Service are chanted by the choir while the officiant intones his part. In 1863, the Mary Warren Free Institute was built adjoining the church to the south in order to further religious and musical instruction. The Institute still exists to this day. Closure Due to declining membership, the church closed on December 6, 2009. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute successfully purchased the property. References

Church of the Holy Transfiguration of Christ-on-the-Mount

The Church of the Holy Transfiguration of Christ on the Mount is a modest, single-room, hand-built wooden Western Orthodox church near the summit of Meads Mountain in Woodstock, New York, originally constructed c. 1891 by George Mead, his son, William Mead and his son's wife, Anna Della Mead. The church is a parish of the Old Calendarist Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles. Services in the Sarum Rite tradition are held each Sunday morning. The church is purported to be the repository of a Marian weeping icon. In the 1960s, Father Francis, the much-beloved "hippie priest", here welcomed hippies who had congregated in town during those years that culminated in the famous art and music festival. Fr. Francis was a bishop of Old Catholicism, which acknowledges the Pope as an earthly spiritual leader but, unlike classical Roman Catholicism, does not consider the Pope to be supreme or infallible, before becoming Western Orthodox under the Russian Exarchate of North America and later the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Exile. The church has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, due in meaningful part to the devoted efforts of Deacon John Nelson, an understudy of Fr. Francis and peer of contemporary spiritual leaders who reverently maintained the church until his death on August 1, 2017. Fr. John's remains were committed to the earth alongside the structure following a traditional requiem Mass.

Church of the Most Holy Redeemer (Manhattan)

The Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, also known as Santísimo Redentor, is a Catholic parish church under the authority of the Archdiocese of New York, located at 161–165 East 3rd Street between Avenues A and B in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The parish was founded in 1844 by the Redemptorist Fathers, and the church, which looks more like a cathedral than a parish church, was built in 1851–1852, designed by an architect named Walsh. The church was consecrated on November 28, 1852. Bishop McClosky preached the sermon. The eclectic architecture is a mix of Baroque Romanesque styles, an experiment not uncommon in the Victorian era. When originally built, the church had a 250-foot (76.2 m) Baroque tower, but in the 1913 renovation supervised by architect Paul Schulz, the tower was simplified and shortened. The AIA Guide to New York City calls the church "a powerful, deeply modeled, limestone pile, one of the tallest structures (except the "projects") in the community" and dates the church to the 1870s. The church was once the most important in Manhattan's "Little Germany" and was often referred to as the "German Catholic Cathedral" of New York by the German Catholic community. This parish grew out of the first German Catholic parish in New York City, St. Nicholas' Church, which has since been closed and demolished. The grandiosity of this church is synonymous with the importance of the German Catholic community in the middle of the nineteenth century in New York City. At that time, German Catholics were the second largest Catholic group in the city after the Irish Catholic community. Most Holy Redeemer originally had a primary school run by the School Sisters of Notre Dame which taught its students entirely in the German language for most of the nineteenth century. More than a dozen children died in a fire at the school in 1883. In 2014, the Church of the Nativity on Second Avenue between Second and 3rd Streets was merged into Holy Redeemer. The new parish is now known as Most Holy Redeemer/Nativity Parish. In 2018, the Redemptorist Order withdrew from the parish and the parish is now ministered by priests of the archdiocese. The church is a pilgrimage shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Today, many of the church's parishioners refer to it as Santísimo Redentor. References External links Parish website
Chiesa del Preziosissimo Sangue (New York)

La chiesa del Preziosissimo Sangue, costruita tra il 1891 e il 1904, è una chiesa cattolica di New York, situata nel cuore della Little Italy (Manhattan). La chiesa ospita il santuario di San Gennaro ed è al centro dell'annuale festa di san Gennaro. Storia L'iniziativa di costruire la chiesa del Preziosissimo Sangue nel cuore della Little Italy (Manhattan) fu presa dai Padri scalabriniani nel 1891. Nell'impossibilità di far fronte alle spese per il completamento dei lavori, si ricorse all'aiuto dei Padri francescani a cui nel 1894 fu affidata la responsabilità dell'impresa. Nel frattempo era stato realizzato il seminterrato della chiesa che poté essere aperto al culto mentre si provvedevano a raccogliere i fondi necessari per la costruzione della chiesa superiore. Anche in queste condizioni la chiesa officiava già oltre 2000 battesimi all'anno. Comprendendo quanto importante fosse il culto di san Gennaro per la maggioranza dei parrocchiani provenienti da Napoli, i padri francescani fornirono la chiesa con una reliquia del sangue del santo. Il 7 luglio 1901 si poterono finalmente riprendere i lavori per il completamento della chiesa, che ebbero termine tre anni dopo, nel 1904. Da allora la chiesa è stata al centro della vita della Little Italy (Manhattan) ed il punto focale dell'annuale festa di san Gennaro, sviluppatasi fino a diventare uno degli eventi più importanti per gli italoamericani di New York. I cambiamenti demografici, con il progressivo trasferimento dei residenti italiani in altre quartieri della città hanno radicalmente modificate le funzioni della chiesa che al di fuori della Festa patronale serve oggi una comunità in maggioranza vietnamita. Restituita alla sua integrità strutturale da importanti restauri nel 1995-97, la chiesa sembra aver trovato oggi nuova vita in questa sua duplice funzione di servizio alla comunità italiana e a quella vietnamita.

An armory for the 7th New York Militia was built nearby, and its chaplain, the Reverend James Tuttle Smith, became the first rector. The building was completed in 1869, and was designed by James Renwick Jr., who had earlier built Grace Church in Manhattan, and went on to design the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Due to problems and lack of funds, his designs were not completely executed. The Great Rood of 1940 was carved by the Dutch sculptor Joep Nicolas. Since 1920, the Church of the Resurrection has been Anglo-Catholic in worship and doctrine.

Church of the Sacred Heart (Bronx)

The Church of the Sacred Heart is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 1253 Shakespeare Avenue (West 168 Street), Bronx, New York City 10452. The church building was designed by architect Elliott Lynch, who designed several other Catholic churches and parish schools. The church is connected with a school of the same name. History In 1875, Rev. James A, Mullen, assistant at St. Augustine's Church was tasked with organizing the Sacred Heart parish at Highbridge from territory originally included in St. Augustine's. Upon learning that St. Rose of Lima parish on Cannon Street in lower Manhattan was building a new church, he asked for and was given the old one. The small frame building was cut into sections, transported to the Bronx and reassembled to serve as a temporary church. Sacred Heart remained primarily a rural parish and Father Mullen remained pastor until his death on December 21, 1907. The New York Times reported in 1910: "New Bronx Church: Plans were filed for a new brick church and rectory to replace the present frame edifices of the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, in Shakespeare Avenue, between 168th and 169th Streets. The church is to occupy a plot 75 by '280, and the rectory 25 by 280, the total cost being placed at $590,000 by the architect, Elliott Lynch." The cornerstone was laid in 1910 and the church completed in April 1912. A stained glass window commemorates the seven parishioners killed during World War I. References Dunlap, David W.

Vicar-General Mooney, pastor of the church in the 1890s, was a strong proponent of the parochial school system, as opposed to secular public schools. During a sermon at the dedication to the now closed and demolished St. Rose of Lima Parish School, he "urged his hearers to send their children to the parochial schools, where, he said, the religious instruction they would receive was far more important than the secular instruction they could receive in the public schools." Buildings It is one of the largest churches in Midtown Manhattan. The congregation was mostly Irish and German. According to the parish history, the cornerstone of the present Victorian Romanesque church building was laid on July 23, 1884, and the finished church building was dedicated by The Most Rev. Michael A. Corrigan, Archbishop of New York, on May 17, 1885. According to the AIA Guide to NYC (1978), the "symmetric confection of deep red brick and matching terra cotta frosted with light-colored stone arches, band courses, and copings" was built in Romanesque Revival to the designs by the prominent architectural firm of Napoleon LeBrun & Sons. The address listed in 1892 was 447 West 51st Street. In 1966, the interior of the church was the first in the Archdiocese of New York to be reconfigured after the Second Vatican Council. Pastors Rev.

Cinema Theater (Rochester, New York)

The Cinema Theater is a motion picture theater in Rochester, New York. Opened as a neighborhood motion picture theater in 1914, it is one of the oldest continuously operated motion picture theaters in New York state. The theater is located at the corner of South Clinton Avenue and South Goodman Street in Rochester. History Originally named "The Clinton", due to a circular arrangement of wooden benches with an open area in the middle, it was affectionately referred to as the "flea pit", a name which stuck for many years — and long after the original dirt floor was covered and the benches were replaced with seats. In 1949 it was renamed the Cinema by its owners, Morris Slotknick and Philip Cohen, and four years later it was enlarged to extend a full city block, and its distinctive Art Deco facade installed. The business was acquired by Jo Ann Morreale in 1985. In April 2006, The Cinema was about to close due to financial difficulties, but long-time patron and real-estate developer John Trickey stepped in and financially brought the cinema back. This was celebrated with a ceremony of "Relighting the Marquee". Trickey formally took over as the sole owner of the theater in 2012. In 2018, the business was leased to a local couple while Trickey retained ownership of the building. In 2021 a local couple purchased the cinema and rebranded it Roc Cinema with a full bar a full kitchen becoming rochester first dine in full serve movie theater. Current status The Cinema has one screen and films tend to change bi-weekly. They show a mixture of mainstream 1st and 2nd run films as well as independent films. The schedule usually features an afternoon matinee on weekends with a community friendly free movie Monday classic. The theater also accommodates private parties for birthdays and corporate events.
