Old St. Peter's Church, Catholic church in Financial District, Manhattan, New York

The Greek Revival structure features six Ionic columns on its facade and stands as a prominent religious landmark in Lower Manhattan.

The parish, established in 1785, represents the oldest Catholic congregation in New York State, with the current building dating from 1836.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's conversion from Episcopal to Catholic faith occurred at this church before she became the first American-born Catholic saint.

The church maintains regular Mass schedules, provides marriage preparation services, and offers memorial cards for various religious occasions.

Following September 11, 2001, the church became an emergency response center and received Father Mychal Judge, the first recorded casualty.
