Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox church The Church of Corpus Christi is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located on West 121st Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The parish was established in 1906.[1][2][3] In 2022, the parish merged with the nearby .
Buildings
The church, founded by Rev. John H. Dooley, was built in 1906–1907 as a brick and stone chapel and three-story parish house, all over the basement, to designs of F. A. de Meuron of Main Street, Yonkers, New York, for $45,000.[4] The structure was a five-bay three-storey Beaux-arts brick school house with a stone-quoined breakfront occupying the central three bays that contained a temporary church and rectory. The new church, school, and rectory cornerstone was laid on November 11, 1906, and the structure was dedicated on June 30, 1907 by Archbishop John Farley.[2]
These buildings were replaced in 1930 with a new church and rectory built 1930 to the designs by Thomas Dunn and Frederick E. Gibson.[5] The current church, school, and convent were dedicated on October 25, 1936.[2] The church was designed in 1935 by Wilfred E. Anthony.[5] The current baptistery survives from F. A. de Meuron's original 1906 church.[2]
Although the classical exterior of the church is not prepossessing, the interior is widely admired. Time Out New York calls it "gorgeous,"[6] while the AIA Guide to NYC urges passersby to enter and admire a sanctuary that looks as though it was designed by a disciple of Sir Christopher Wren.[7]
Parish school
The parish school opened in September 1907, staffed by the Sisters of Charity of New York. The Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wisconsin, were welcomed to the school in 1936.
Corpus Christi School was closed in 2020 by the Archdiocese of New York citing the dangers of the COVID pandemic and very low school enrollment.[8]
Notable events
On November 16, 1938, Thomas Merton was baptized at Corpus Christi Church and received Holy Communion.[9]
