The Church of St.
Paul the Apostle is a Catholic church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City.[4] It is the mother church of the Paulist Fathers, the first religious community of Catholic priests founded in the United States.
History and architecture
The parish was founded in 1858, and their original church was a simple brick structure built on part of the current lot, but the congregation soon outgrew it.[5][6]
A new Late Victorian Gothic Revival-style church was built between 1876 and 1884 designed by Jeremiah O'Rourke and Paulist priest George Deshon, a military engineer trained at West Point,[6] who took over the project six years into construction when O'Rourke died,[5] and probably simplified the design.[6]Isaac Heck
