About

Roman Catholic parish with three beautiful downtown NYC locations. Founded in 1785. Rich history and growing community. Religious education program.

Story

Welcome to St. Peter - Our Lady of the Rosary, New York's Oldest Catholic Parish serving the Financial District, the World Trade Center, Battery Park City and TriBeCa.

Mission

We are the Roman Catholic parish of St. Peter’s – Our Lady of the Rosary, encompassing St. Peter’s Church, Our Lady of the Rosary (the Seton Shrine) and St. Joseph’s Chapel
(The Catholic Memorial at Ground Zero).

We are the first Catholic parish in New York State (est. 1785) but our legacy in Lower Manhattan pre-dates the American Revolution. The parish has served as a safe haven both in the past for needy immigrants and more recently for victims and rescue personnel in the wake of 9/11, without regard to religion. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and the Venerable Pierre Toussaint, who performed many works of charity in the parish, inspire us to a tradition of service to the residents, the many people who work in the area, and the multitude of visitors who come from around the world. We strive to serve our neighborhood in that spirit, with welcome and compassion for all because we are all children of God.

Oldest Catholic Church in New York. In the shadow of 9-11 World Trade Center, there is a beautiful sculpture in tribute which is a must see when it rains. Visited here after the Easter Brooklyn Bridge walk and enjoyed a beautiful Stations of the Cross mass.

This is where Catholic New York was started. The downtown parish, the city’s first, was founded in 1785 after the American Revolution brought Catholics and other minorities their religious freedom. It was also home to New York State’s first free Catholic school, which opened its doors in 1800. It is dwarfed by its shiny new neighbor, One World Trade Center. But St. Peter’s, built in 1834, is hard to find for another reason. Its temple-like facade, with a stone pediment and columns, is so stately that from across the street I almost mistook it for a colonial seat of legislature like Federal Hall on Wall Street. But its interior, with an altar of gilded pilasters and crystal chandeliers and redolent of incense, displayed a subtle, ornate beauty. I arrived on a Wednesday afternoon just as daily Mass was ending; office workers on their breaks darted for the doors, while tourists shuffled out slowly, admiring the stained-glass windows. At the church’s entrance is a statue of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born saint and founder of Sisters of Charity, who was baptized there at age 30, after her husband’s death. The conversion of a well-born Episcopal widow to an immigrant religion was scandalous at the time.

St. Peter's had always been my destination during most of my lunch breaks before 9/11. I found this church a great place for prayer and meditation. I used to work in the 72nd floor of the North Tower but was saved because I was on vacation leave.
