St. Vincent de Paul Church, Greek Revival parish church in Chelsea, Manhattan, United States.

The St. Vincent de Paul Church stands at 123 West 23rd Street near Sixth Avenue, featuring classical architectural elements and symmetrical design patterns.

Established in 1869, this church initially served French-speaking residents of New York City with substantial funding from Bishop Charles Auguste Marie Joseph.

The church played a central role during World War I as a gathering point for French soldiers and expatriates residing in New York City.

The church building includes a Geo. Kilgen & Son pipe organ from 1937, containing 40 registers that enhance musical performances during religious ceremonies.

In 1944, more than one thousand French exiles assembled at the church for a mass dedicated to D-Day operations in France.
