Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, Gothic Revival church on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, United States.
The Church of St. Vincent Ferrer is a Gothic Revival house of worship in Manhattan with a five-story limestone facade. Inside, you find stained glass windows, carved wooden pews, and detailed Gothic ornamentation throughout the walls and ceilings.
The current building was constructed starting in 1914 under architect Bertram Goodhue's design, replacing a house of worship that had occupied the site since 1867. The new structure reflected the growing congregation's need for a larger and more ornate home.
The church maintains a regular schedule of Latin Mass services and houses two Schantz pipe organs that provide musical accompaniment during ceremonies.
The site sits on Lexington Avenue near the 68th Street subway station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Note that regular worship services take place throughout the day, so visiting to look around is best done outside service hours.
One striking feature is the Crucifixion statue on the exterior, which is uncommon on American Catholic churches. Inside, hand-painted scenes of the Stations of the Cross tell the story of suffering through visual art.
