Shrine Church of Our Lady of the Americas - Albany (NY)

Denine McCall Paster and fist lady are the best. I would not go anywhere else

Lakeia Madison Weve visited twice and enjoyed the service. Each time, there was a guest minister bringing the Word. We were greeted warmly by folks in the hall. I wouldnt call them greeters because they were standing at the front door or sanctuary door. The second visit, we actually heard the choir, and they were really nice. My spouse loves that the service is quick. Lol. Growing up, COGIC I try to be sensitive to research the church before we attend. Lord, help us :) The first service was maybe 1.5 hours and the second 2 hours.

The Tourist Trip This place has been a beacon to the city of Albany showing others what loving your community and neighbors looks like in the most simple and practical ways. I found these guys through a Serve Albany brochure at a local coffee shop. They have been bringing together volunteers to serve this city through different non profit partners. I have found this place to be a open, welcome and safe space to explore my in faith tradition with others who are seeking a God far beyond the feeble limitations of our collective understanding and knowledge. Shout out to Jon, the pastor, who has assisted in helping shape this vision.

Jacqueline Gibbons Been going to this church for a few years now. I have never been a huge church goer but I love the message every week and love how open its members are.

Matt Stromberg A true treasure of the capital district. This is a beautiful place of worship, like something lifted out of Europe, and a wonderful place of Christian community. The Cathedral Men and Boys Choir is not to missed. You absolutely need to come and hear them perform on Sunday morning, Evensong, or one of their many concerts and events. The Cathedral has a history of great leadership and the current dean, Leander Harding, is no exception. The preaching and liturgy is top quality and the lectures and guest speakers are always exceptional. Do yourself a favor and visit this historic yet vibrant cathedral.

Christine Harvey Yes the Greek festival here is amazing but dont forget - this is a church. The people at the church are warm, friendly, welcoming. Father Pat can connect with you on a level many priests just cant. He is a huge blessing to the church. The services are wonderful, great choir too. Its a place to connect with God and feel part of a great community -even if youre not Greek.

Glennette Armstrong This place is definitely the house of God. You can feel His presence. The Pastor, Pastor Solomon Dees is a very wise, discerning, man filled with the HolyGhost. The people are very loving and welcoming. In fact my husband and I joined the church yesterday!

Beth Hall I went to school here in the early to mid 70s when it was St. Patricks. I remember prayer, morning mass, Father Tremblay and Sister Rita. There were many great sisters and lay teachers. Trips to pick apples, playing in the school yard, CYO on 1st Street run by Mrs. Hennessy. So many memories!❤️

Anne Shaver Father David is a nice person. The mass was very moving and enjoyed hearing about the word. I hope peace comes quickly to everyone in the world. The church is beautiful inside. The peace and quiet is beautiful as well.

Angelina Ufomba This has been my home church for a number of years,love the word and the teaching!!!
