Sister Church of St. Jean Baptiste
I got lost on my way to this church. Heading downtown on the A train, the weekend schedule had disrupted my direct path (as I feared it may and knew it would) around W. 4th street. I sprang up from the stairwell and was greeted by a smoke shop. I proceeded down 6th avenue. Around Church and Reade and Duane and Centre I misplaced myself for a few minutes until my barings and my Blackberry eventually set me straight. When I finally found it I realized I should have known it as that big church just kind of set near city hall. I entered and knew almost immediately there was a good feeling of being in there.
I was about 10 minutes early - which is rare because I usually enter just as it begins or, shamefully, a few minutes after. I sat near the front. The priest - I'm not sure which of the parish priests it was: Fr. Hayes or Fr. Addai - insisted on presenting his homily in the midst of the congegration - asking direct questions to parishioners that he knew by name and involving everyone sitting there listening.
The Feast of that day was Christ the King. The priest prepared us for next week's first week of Advent - and instructed us over and over again that we should be prepared this season for anything to happen - because things will come from the left and right...

additional photos...
Note: I attended the 12:10pm daily Mass today and was struck again by how beautiful this church is. I had kind of forgotten because I hadn't been back since my original visit and all I had to go on were these photos above which do it no justice whatsoever. It's dark, quiet and the art is well lit. It is like entering another world in the middle of the work day. There were about 20 or so in the congregation, I assume all as happy and pleased as I to be there. The priest must have been a music teacher in another life because before he began, he instructed all of us on how to sing the opening song, verse by verse - and then we sang...
Great photos and great comments. With the current/recent spate of parish consolidations, I hope St. Andrew's remains open. (P.S., I just discovered your site - 11-3-2011 - after visiting Stpetersrcnyc.org. There's no link, but it prompted me to do a search that lead to catholicmanhattan.) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon this site. As a native New Yorker, I thought I had visited all the Roman Catholic Churches in Mannhattan. What a wonderful discovery! I recently learned that a very beloved Benedictine Monk from St. Martin's University in Lacey WA is there on sabatical. So I conducted a web search and came upon St. Andrews. I hope to visit St. Andrews this summer and say hello to Father Kilian at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting these amazing photos. Hopefully soon, I'll be taking photos of St. Andrew for myself.

To who it May Concern
On September 18th Hurricane Maria tore through Dominica; our hearts goes out to the people of Dominica who lost everything in the storm. Your help is greatly needed. As Christian we have a common goal of helping others at this time, let us unite as churches and make Dominica the goal that unites our common love for people
Act of Kindness Mission Ministry is a vital 501 (C) (3) Nonprofit Organization. The goal of the organization is to show kindness to everyone in need. Dominica is the island that has a great need right now. And so, Act of Kindness Mission Ministry is asking you and your church to unite with us as we make a difference in the lives of the people in Dominica as we show kindness to them.
Dominica is divided into ten parishes, each parish contain 3 to 4 villages and a town. Our goal is supply each parish with a container with food, water, hygiene items and other necessities so that the people in that village will directly receive the supplies we will be shipping to them. However, we found out that the shipping alone for a 40ft container will cost $9,877.00. To really make a difference in Dominica, we want to send about five 40ft containers. Your help is greatly, needed in this course.
In covering all the expenses from Houston to Dominica we are look at raising $75,000.00 to reach this goal. We are kindly asking you and your church with 39 other churches to each generously donate $1,000.00; we are also looking for 50 other churches who will also be generous and donate $500.00, as well as another 100 churches to be generous and donate $100.00
You and your church can really show your kindness to the people of Dominica and unite together with us to make a difference. If you and our church have made a donation before, please do not let that stop you from making one more; if your church has not made any donation then please find it in your heart to make a generous donation to help the people of Dominica
May the Lord continue to bless and keep you in your ministry. Thank you for your help and support. Please make check to Act of Kindness Mission Ministry or go to htt://actofkindnessmission.org to make your donation on or before November 27th 2017.
