St. Lydias - Brooklyn (NY)

jennifer cox This is a very welcoming place to be. Service begins at 10 am. Various activities and services are held here. The 100th celebration of Messiah is Sunday, December 15th at 4pm.

Connor Burruss A truly beautiful church as well a beautiful Mass. Fr. Smith and the parishioners were incredibly welcoming as well.

Dwight Simmons This historic church is a must see on any trip to Brooklyn Heights. The statue of Beecher is on Orange street. Take some time and research his interesting life. Also, if you can get inside, there is a seat in the church with a plaque - Abraham Lincoln attended services here. As far as I know, he was the only sitting President to visit Brooklyn.

Vlad The church is welcoming with a strong sense of community and supportive leadership. Services are meaningful, blending traditional elements with modern relevance. On the positive side, the air conditioning ensures a comfortable environment, although it can occasionally feel a bit too cold for some attendees. My experience from last Sunday was positive; the sermon was inspiring, and the music, with an awesome singer, was uplifting, creating a warm atmosphere despite the cooler temperature.

mason zeng A great community to fellowship and better your faith in the Lord!

Altagracia Fernandez My daughter invited me to visit this church and now, every time I visit NY I want to go back. The welcoming is so inviting and sincere that you feel that you belong there. The priests are realy guiding the community towards Jesus. Even when mass is finished they want to make sure that you are always welcome not knowing that you are the one that doesnt want to leave that sacred environment.

Rev. He This church is a shining star for Christ in the Bensonhurst community, where Monsignor V teaching, preaching and sharing the Word of God that relate to daily life. The altar art and the beautiful stain-glass windows with the rich colors through the light, reflecting the images of Jesus Christ, St. Mary and the Saints, reminding us God’s presence through the church tradition. In mass and meditation there I feel my soul and my heart is comforted and my spirit is lifted closer to God. I am thankful for Monsignor Viccarie and the congregation of this church.

Sofia Rivkin-Haas Very welcoming place! Lovely service.

Amanda Massay The warmth and sense of community here is incredible. Gods overflowing love shines so brightly through the leaders. I truly love my church family!

Shawn ODriscoll Authentic, Genuine & Caring leadership and congregation with solid biblical teaching of scripture combined with compassionate application of the Word of God to our "neighbors", the community around the church. They model brotherly love, rather than commanding it. We were visiting for a friends baptism, but we would join this church if we moved to Brooklyn. Our friends, said, "This is what I imagined church is supposed to be like"
