I’m going to be doing an internship in New York City this summer. I’ll be living near 3rd Ave. and East 15th.

Does anyone know of good Catholic liturgies, if possible near that location, in the city? Especially ones that offer the Extraordinary Form of the Mass?

Thanks!!
 
Holy Innocents
37th and Broadway
Weekdays 6PM EF
Saturdays 1PM EF

Our Saviour
38th and Park Ave
Sundays 9AM Missa Cantata

Our Lady of Mt Carmel
East 116th Street and 1st
Sundays 10AM

Saint Agnes
43rd and Lexington
Sundays 11AM Missa Cantata
 
Fr Rutler is at Our Saviour; The Tridentine Mass at Saint Agnes that occurs in the first and second Sundays are usually said by priests of the FSSP
 
Fr. Rutler also has a TLM every Sun. at 9:00 with confession before. Holy Innocents has a TLM every weekday at 6:00 and Sat at 1:00. When you get to NYC be sure to pick up a diocese newspaper at any Catholic church which will give you a lot of information. Geat thing about NYC is that there is a Catholic Church every few blocks. You can find adoration and/or confession and Mass almost any time of the day. This city really fulfills the scripture that says where sin abounds grace does much more abound.

BTW the music at St. Agnes is absolutely stupendous. You will think you are in heaven listening to the angels.
 
Thanks everyone for your help! Saint Agnes looks like it’s in the perfect location (close to my internship) too!
 
St. John’s on the south side of Penn Station, around 30th Street has confessions and Masses all day, pretty much. I counted 27 priests: no waiting. It’s Franciscan. If, by chance, there isn’t a priest in one of the confessionals, ask at the office; they often use one of the offices for confessions.

Even with all of the liberalism, NYC has a huge variety of Catholic functions available.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral “parish house” used to host religious education classes for adults. Nice mix of Catholics and non-Catholics. The Catholics get “volunteered” as baptismal sponsors. Extremely enjoyable religious experience. Check at the office to see if they still have them. The parish house is at the northeast corner of the block and the Cardinal’s residence is at the southeast corner of the block. Check to see if the Cardinal has a regular daily Mass scheduled. Always interesting.
 
It’s worthwhile to get to the World Trade Center. At St. Peter’s Church on Barclay St, there is the famous “steel cross” that was found when the rubble was removed.

Here’s an article about St. Peter’s Church and also St. Joseph’s Chapel (which is on the south side of the yacht basin right off the Hudson River) on Liberty Street.

They used to have an outstanding book store and gift shop in the basement of the rectory next to the church, but owing to financial issues the property on which the rectory was located was sold. The bookstore was moved a few blocks away. And a high rise office building occupies the site of the former rectory.

Uptown the Daughters of St. Paul have a quite large bookstore.

The National Catholic Register is a traditional conservative Catholic newspaper, founded in 1927 [in contrast with the National Catholic Reporter which is a 1960’s radical newspaper]:

I found the Web site for the old St. Peter’s church bookstore. Alba House 11 Warren Street, BUT IT IS CLOSED PERMANENTLY.

When it was next door to the church, there was a steady stream of customers who worked at the WTC. Those days are gone forever; or for a very long time.

[Actually, although the WTC reconstruction is proceeding slowly, many other new high rise office buildings in the neighborhood have been constructed.]
