Shrine and Parish Church of The Holy Innocents - New York (NY)

William Y St. Agnes is a beautiful hidden gem! I am admittedly biased because of its long history with my confirmation patron, Ven. Abp. Fulton Sheen, but my experience at Holy Thursday Mass cemented it as well. Being able to choose to receive at the rail at an Ordinary Form Mass was wonderful! I wish more parishes would do that!

Daniel Lanclos Ive found a real sense of belonging at St. Bart’s. The welcoming atmosphere and inclusive spirit made me feel immediately at home. The services are engaging and the community is warm and supportive. I particularly appreciate the churchs commitment to being an inclusive Christian community and its positive impact in the heart of Midtown. Its a place where I can grow spiritually and make a difference.

Cerise Annett Life changing Word going forth at this church. Pastors Dan and Ann are wonderful people and teachers staying true to the Word of God (Bible). The people that go here are warm and friendly. The way the Word is taught here has changed my life. I have a more closer walk with God and Im a more calmer, forgiving person not getting triggered by even the slightest things.

María Elena Marin Beautiful and lovely church! I loved to listen such an angelic choir and I felt very pleased to be in that magnificent service, helped me to feel myself very comfortable and with inner peace!

R M Grateful to have experienced the warmth, kindness, and hospitality of this parish. The Sacred Heart is stunning. I’m looking forward to returning.

Rachael Wright Even if you aren’t Catholic I suggest going to mass to see this place being used in the format for which it was built. I’ve been to major futbol stadiums in Europe and you’re always stunned by the size, but the fullest experience comes from seeing it full of people, unified on a single thing. In this case, it’s the Eucharist, but don’t worry - you don’t have to take communion, and if you’re not Catholic you shouldn’t - so just stay in your pew and enjoy the music.

Jaime Mora Beautiful and peaceful place to visit, nice place to pray. This Church has first-class relics of St. Padre Pio to venerate.

Amelia Exploring churches in Manhattan is a hobby of mine. Whenever I have time, I like to scout out churches that Ive never been to and visit. I happened to be in the neighborhood after having had lunch near by and found this church. The exterior of the church is a more sedate, Greek revival style with marble columns. I almost mistook it for a bank as I walked by. Thankfully they had the doors wide open and could clearly see inside that it was a church. Once you enter inside youll be blown away by the ornate interior. The murals, stained glass windows, carved wooden beams, and marble altar are very reminiscent of churches in Europe. And the high, barrel vaulted ceilings give the church a feeling of grandeur that bellies its small size. Its a gorgeous old church with some of the best murals Ive seen in the ceiling. I spent quite a long time just staring and meditating at them. I came during an off time and while the church was practically empty. So, I cant comment on the mass or services here as Ive never attended one. But this church is just stunning and worth a visit just to see the interior.

Mauricio Angee Absolutely beautiful church.

George Montagner I attend an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting here called The Atlantic Group, which is the sister meeting to The Pacific Group of California, going on 7 years or so. The interior of this Church is stunning, beautiful, awesome and amazing! Literally and all at the same time! One of the largest AA meetings in New York. I have not attended mass here yet, but the Church is very accommodating to our meetings, which number in the hundreds of members. I recommend visiting this Church for its beauty and Im sure Mass here is just as fulfilling.
