About the Exhibition

This professionally-curated exhibition traces the history of the parish through the building, decoration, and consecration of four church buildings, two at Broadway and Houston Street and two in the present location at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street, each of which was hailed in its time as an important contribution to Gothic Revival architecture in the United States.

The exhibition features documents and photographs that follow the parish as it moved from downtown to midtown. The display cases showcase the architecture, décor, music, liturgy, and service, some with eye-catching silver liturgical objects and embroidered vestments that have been donated to the parish over the decades.
