St. Columba Church, Roman Catholic church in Chelsea, Manhattan, US

The Church of St. Columba stands at 343 West 25th Street with a traditional stone exterior and ornate architectural elements defining its religious character.

The cornerstone was laid in 1845 by Bishop Hughes, with construction completed by local dock workers who built the church after their regular working hours.

The parish served generations of Irish immigrants in Manhattan, offering services in both English and Irish languages during its early years.

The church holds regular Mass services and maintains facilities for religious education programs, serving the Catholic community in the Chelsea neighborhood.

Three priests from St. Columba joined the Chaplain Corps during World War II, demonstrating the parish's connection to national service.
