Beautiful and peaceful church near Times Square. Amazing hand sculptures
St. Mary's church was breathtaking - the organ playing was beautifully haunting when we walked in. Such a vibe in here, I loved it.💖
I went on Friday Jan 6th for the Solemn service for "Epiphany". There was a wonderful Organ Recital played by Dr. Gail Archer prior to the beginning of the service. Such beautiful music.
I was really moved by the service itself, the chanting and singing during the Solemn Mass felt so meaniful. Thank you Dr.David Hurd & choir! The sermon given by Brother Jim Woodrum, SSJE was thoughtful, comforting and helpfully resonated with these days & times.
I certainly plan to attend another service
at Saint Mary's in the near future.

Take a break from the city and recharge here..so calming and beautiful. Regardless of your faith, non-faith in life this place is yoga for your spirit. One lap around the inside and you will feel peace in your heart ❤️.
Beautiful Church nearby the Time Square. Joined the Christmas Mass there for the first time. The choir was great. The decorations were simple yet very nice! they really follow social distancing and Covid protocol 👍
Very impressive church in the heart of the big apple. Huge space, very tranquil with light, soothing music, and many religious sculptures, as expected from a church this size.
Super high ceiling, hundreds of seats and a very quiet timeout from the noisiest per of the city - you don’t need to be religious to enjoy that.

It's a glorious space, with music to match! This parish is particularly well-known for processions in Times Square on Palm Sunday and Corpus Christi (transferred to Sunday.) Their commitment to remaining open daily for prayer is a laudable and worthy intention.
A note to asthmatics, though: this place is affectionately referred to as "Smoky Mary's" with good reason, so it may be prudent to sit near an exit if one is susceptible to billowing clouds of incense.
