Church of the Holy Family
Established: 1924
Although originally founded in 1924, and built where a stable had been, the now modern, yet magnificent structure stands out among the many churches on the side streets of Manhattan as having its own history and beauty. Holy Family initially drew Italian immigrants, but today it plays an important role serving many from the nearby United Nations. In fact, during the year of its reconstruction, Pope Paul VI visited the church on his “mission for peace” in 1965.
