St. Jean Baptiste Church - New York (NY)

5 /5 World Traveler: I just happened to be passing by one day and wanted to check it out. I’m so glad I went inside and was transported to this peaceful, quiet and spiritual place. The architecture is beautiful and it’s right in between massive buildings in New York City. The calming energy of the space was a nice break from the madness of the city. There’s a theater downstairs that you can access through the elevator. I just wanted to check that out because another review mentioned it. It’s not that cool but it would be fun if you attended one of their events. They seemed to have all kinds of community programs, theater and even a summer day camp for kids.

5 /5 Mirosław Siemieniuk: Wonderful architecture. Looks amazing amongst all those blocks, skyscrapers around. Im a Russian Orthodox but I prayed there. Will my God accept this act? Will he not be angry for this?

5 /5 Maya Marchi: We absolutely love this church and we Love Father John Kamas!!! The music is beautiful and the church is stunning. Definitely recommend this church to anyone and everyone!!! We are truly proud to be part of this community.

5 /5 James D: Truly spectacular RC church with some of the most awe inspiring architecture you will ever see. The exterior is traditional yet grand and stately with the two towers and massive dome on top. You just cant miss it from the street. The interior is simply amazing thanks to the beautiful stained glass and prominent arches throughout. Some of the glass is actually from France! The ceiling is a phenomenal work of art with so many intricate details and symmetry all working together to create this splendid architectural masterpiece. Everything flows perfectly making this church one of the greatest in NYC. There is no better place to spend time in Gods presence. I highly recommend stopping in if you are passing through the area as you will surely be amazed!

5 /5 Paul Okura: Beautiful church in upper Eastside. Exterior and interior are both well kept and when you look up at the ceiling you will feel peaceful. Manhattan has many beautiful churches and this is one of them.
