St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church - New York (NY)

4 /5 fat squirrel: Monastic, college town church with a strong music program and Harry Potter energy. Newbie friendly, they give out informative and educative missalettes for every event. Sanctuary resembles the Great Hall at Hogwarts, and there are contemporary lectures on authors such as JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. There are shades here of what Tim Keller was doing in the 2000s to approach the post-college community down the street at Redeemer.

5 /5 Jack Straw: I absolutely love and adore this Church. Its beauty is breathtaking in every way, especially for later/ evening services and Vigil Mass (my personal favorite). All the staff, from the Clergy to the Laity are always so wonderful, genuine and kind too. Throughout my life Ive moved around a lot, attending many different churches both Catholic and protestant, and this is the first Church I have attended where I truly, immediately felt at home since the church of my youth. The same church where my parents were wed, where I was baptized, and took my First Communion. Of course that church will always have a very special place in my heart, and so will St. Vincent Ferrer. I cant possibly say enough nice things about it, and I consider myself very blessed to be in its congregation.

5 /5 Andrés Mac Gaul: My preferred Church on earth. Stunningly beautiful. I recommend visiting it when the monks sings. The atmosphere they created is an experience you cannot miss.

5 /5 Jared Jagiello: Dominicans are like the best first of all. They offer Wednesday holy hour, confessions and do compline. Wonderfully reverent masses, and they sometimes use the high altar! Undoubtedly one of the, if not the most beautiful church in Manhattan.

5 /5 Alberto Antonio, O.P.: Possibly my favorite church in NYC. Famously frequented by Andy Warhol, St. Vincent Ferrer has relics, a chorus and is staffed by many caring and devout Dominicans that i met throughout my visits from teen to adulthood. There are relics and beautiful art to see, and you can pray Lauds and Vespers with the friars every day. A true sanctuary for all Christians and tourists of any faith to visit.
