Church of St. Clement Mary Hofbauer, Gothic Revival church in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, US
The Church of St. Clement Mary Hofbauer features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses in its four-story parish building at West 40th Street.
Founded in 1909 by Cardinal John Farley, the church initially held its first mass in a candy store before moving to a rented Lutheran church.
The parish served 3,000 Polish immigrants in Manhattan, with a school operated by the Sisters of the Resurrection above the main worship space.
The building now houses Metro Baptist Church since 1984, continuing religious services at 406-412 West 40th Street in Manhattan.
The church was named after Clement Mary Hofbauer, a Moravian baker who became a Redemptorist priest and worked extensively with Warsaw's poor population.
