Plenty of parking. Behind the church is a cemetery that dates back to the revolutionary war. You'll find headstones from soldiers dating from there to the present. Also memorials of the same. If you go directly behind the church and walk about 5 minutes you'll find the tomb of Washington Erving. Also present in this historic cemetery are the graves of Rockefeller's and Carnegies. They do tours both at night and during the day (night one is about an hour). Plus see the old and new sites of the horseman bridge. If you are in the area this is a must.

I sent many emails to the church and school that NO ONE answered. They did not have the courtesy to even let me know the status. I must assume this school is closed.

The church is now blasting bells and hymns for 20mins several times per day (double on Sunday)…read more Most of the time, the church is shut. Surely they should not be playing hymns for 20mins at a time when there aren't any congregants there to hear it?

As a self-affirmed "church reviewer/seeker," I have visited a few different churches and have come…read moreaway with something from each of them. St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, in the quaint town of Irvington, is a warmhearted congregation with much to offer the community. A glance at their website gives a prospective visitor an idea of their basic tenents: "Our parish contains "cradle" Episcopalians, as well as many people who come from religious traditions other than Episcopalian, including Roman Catholicism and non-Christian belief systems such as Judaism and Buddhism. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we invite you to join us. You'll be welcome here!" If that doesn't say 'that they may all be one' loud and clear, then I don't know what does, my friend. The rector, Rev. Nora Smith, is personable and down-to-earth, much like other Episcopal priests I have encountered. Her sermons are thoughtful and those that I have heard touch upon topics relevant to modern life and individual struggles. There is much to take way from the sermons themselves, and they make for a thought-provoking experience. This congregation also appears to take its concern for the wider world quite seriously. Their Sunday prayers include remembrances for Shane and Josh, the two American hikers still imprisoned in Iran; the environment and our stewardship of it; missions to the less fortunate in the Third World; as well as the standard prayers for bishops, parish folk, and the sick. It's nice to attend services at a church that has such a regard for the world and its people. The congregants are extremely friendly and go out of their way to introduce themselves and make you feel at home. Coffee is served after Mass in the well-appointed parish hall, which is nice and homey. Music here is a treat for the ears - although the choir is currently on hiatus for the summer - and there is also a small chapel off to the side of the main sanctuary where one can sit in private contemplation. I could go on, but if you find yourself in Irvington I recommend that you experience this parish for yourself. You won't be disappointed; rather, you will be welcomed warmly.
