Innocents
128 W. 37th St., Garment District
This 148-year-old Midtown parish is being eyed for closure by the archdiocese.
Designed by prolific architect Patrick Keely, the Gothic Revival parish is one of the oldest buildings in the Garment District but isn’t landmarked.
The Catholic parish became known as the “actor’s church” after theaters and publishers flocked nearby in the 1900s. Playwright Eugene O’Neill was baptized there in 1888.
Inside, there’s a mural over the altar designed by Constantino Brumidi, known for his fresco paintings inside the U.S. Capitol. Holy Innocents’ painting was restored in 2011.

Residents say the plans are “atrocious”

However, the Priest who was pastor there got kicked out of the Diocese.

 

There's no point speculating on the reasons for the move. Correlation doesn't imply causation. Priests get moved all the time
