Beautiful Romand Catholic church that has been well kept and well loved. I felt very welcomed here and will def come back for mass when I come back to NYC
Very good church and not as loud or hot like the local churches in fort lee. However the Chinese classes in the other building suck. During the pandemic, the teacher doesn’t even know how to do the zoom meeting correctly.
The Church of the Transfiguration, also known as the Little Church Around the Corner, is an Episcopal parish located at 1 East 29th Street in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The church was founded in 1848 and is famously known for its commitment to the theater community, particularly to actors and actresses. It received the nickname "the Little Church Around the Corner" after it offered funeral services to a well-known British actor, even though he was not a member of the church. Since then, the church has continued to welcome and serve the theater community, hosting the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony as well as concerts and theatrical performances. The church building itself is a notable example of neo-Gothic architecture and features stained-glass windows, a bell tower, and a pipe organ.
Beautiful place to visit. The whole area is full of small business, many places to eat and shop for cheap souvenirs around here.

Loyola is terrible. The kids dont care about eachother and when they “do” its just for personal gain. If you live out of the UES or even new york city you will not enjoy it.
Just wanted to give a shout to the people at this church! We were walking through Chinatown and my daughter really needed to use the restroom. They were nice enough to let us in the school and even walked us through the building to show us where the restrooms were. Truly, this is the kindness that one would hope to see of people who profess to love Jesus.

Had a great experience during my time as a student at this wonderful place. I graduated in 2012. Wonderful professors, staff and coaches when I played various sports. My experiences here definitely shaped my future and where I am today. I am truly grateful for being a part of this community! I highly recommend for anyone entering high school who is looking for a Jesuit and well rounded secondary education!
Beautiful old church. Gorgeous ceiling with gold and cream detail. Originally Italian parish but now vibrant Chinese community runs it and is in heart if Chinatown. So glad it was not destroyed/sold/let run down. English mass said on Sunday well attended. I learned that Dorothy day worked in this neighborhood and helped the poor here. Great history. May this church survive and thrive for many more centuries to come!

Beautiful historic stone church located in Chinatown. My great- grandparents were married here in 1870 so it holds significance for me. The lovely wooden interior belies its origins as a Protestant church. Masses are offered in English, Spanish and Chinese.
I was very very suprised to stumble upon this catholic church in the heart of Chinatown.
Best school in the world, bcoz there having a friendly teachers, friends which always support in bad and good situation.
Professor is a very well experienced, they are like a, type of God, theirs teaching style is awesome.
But unfortunately, I'm left school and come back India.
I miss my friends and teachers.

This place is where I learned the most from the amazing teachers, about myself and about where I want to head in life. There are drugs and alcohol in all high schools it is part of being a teenager. The school doesn't not condone it. The school gave scholarships to many people that I know, so it is not all about money. It is a small school and they have high expectations for the students that they accept. Although good grades are important they look for well rounded individuals who fit into the Loyola family. The Loyola family is supportive and close knit. Who I am 20 years later is possible because of my Loyola education.

You rejected a student who is determined, dedicated, and an excellent student. He picked this school to make a difference but you guys just like the same things. Loyola and Xavier don't care about the student having the grade point average just how much money they make. Also if you don't offer scholarships why you telling people you do. Anyway screw this school and the relative I'm talking about will be successful without you or your school. Have a good day.
I love this school and its gonna be my school
A fantastic school that my sister went to 🏀
After a quiet but busy summer, it is awesome welcoming our new and returning students through the doors of Loyola. The air is alive with enthusiastic chatter and updates about the past summer and the year ahead. Orientation for all began with prayerful best wishes and a promise to guide and nurture students to be their best selves. Students and faculty are genuinely looking forward to working together to make this a great year for all. May the year ahead be the best ever!

I am currently going to their grammar school around the block and its amazing it serves grades K-8. I am looking at high schools right now and Loyola is my top choice and no there are no drugs or acohol. I know because I know because I know about half of the freshman class.
