Times Square Church - A Sanctuary in the Heart of the City (with the Best Choir and the Sweetest…read moreUshers) I've been attending Times Square Church for 12 years now, and honestly--I'm still as moved today as I was the very first time I walked in. I'll never forget it: I was welcomed by an usher who gave me the kind of hug that said, "You're home now." No side-eyes, no judgment--just love, warmth, and a seat in a beautiful space where I could experience the service at my own pace (and catch my breath from walking through Times Square--because whew). The music? Absolutely incredible. The choir will have you praising, swaying, and maybe even forgetting you're wearing those new shoes that weren't made for dancing. It's joyful, powerful, and real--and you don't need to know the words to feel the Spirit. Services are held at 10 AM and 1 PM, so whether you're an early bird or the kind who needs that second cup of coffee (no judgment--I've been both), there's room for you. And yes--they even have discounted parking if you get your ticket stamped. Because even in New York, Jesus is still helping you save. From programs for children to ministries for adults, the church is full of life, love, and purpose. Everyone is treated with kindness and respect. It's a place where people grow, laugh, cry, heal--and worship together. So if you're looking for a church that feels like family, sounds like heaven, and welcomes you just as you are--come through. You just might leave with a full heart, a new friend, and a joyful song stuck in your head all week.

The priests like father Eric is charismatic and funny. Even if you can't make it to church, they also do a livestream. The mass on Sunday's are on 10am, 12pm(Spanish) and 5pm. It's very convenient too! The choir has many positivity and love towards the music since they are professional singers. That shows how much passion they have for the church, god and the community. They are also LGBTQ+ friendly too which is also great! The church made me feel motivated about the faith itself and I definitely recommend coming here!

And I must say those churches are batting a 1000 right now. I spent most of my time here in the simple vestibule. I didn't attend the service but I looked on from the window paned doors and was in awe at the BEAUTY of this place. It was simply a gorgeous building, the structure outside as well as in is to die for. Everything in there was designed to perfection. The lines are clean and beautiful. The entire place just flows. Like all things in New York, it's bigger than it looks from the outside. Hadn't seen a real crucifix in awhile either and I feel that Catholic Churches are becoming too secular in that sense ... Removing the whole point of your religion from view. But that's another story ... A TREMENDOUS and VISUALLY ORGASMIC church. Get there!

I've always had a special appreciation for the architecture of Catholic churches, and the craftsmanship here is truly remarkable! The high vaulted ceilings, stained glass, and intricate details make it feel both grand and peaceful at the same time. Even though it sits right in the middle of the city, the moment you step inside there's a sense of calm that almost feels grounding. It can get busy but you can still find quiet moments to sit, reflect, or simply admire the beauty of the space.

I visited St. Patrick's for the first time last weekend. I didn't put two and two together to…read morerealize that I was visiting St. Patrick's Cathedral the weekend before St. Patrick's Day. Probably not the best day to visit, but since I'd already pre-paid for the self-guided audio tour, I decided to brave the crowds and go. I want to be clear - St. Patrick's is beautiful. But my three star review is really about the tour experience, and my experience may have been worse than it would have been on a less busy weekend. The self-guided audio tour is $20. You can do it on your phone or on an iPad they'll provide you at the cathedral. However, especially on a crowded day, the tour was confusing. There was weirdly no way to cross from the north side of the cathedral to the south side of the cathedral. You had to in the door on the north side to see that side and then back out and in the door on the south side of the cathedral to see that side. There were may roped off areas that were on the audio tour. Probably half of the stops on the audio tour were behind roped off areas - I didn't know if I was supposed to get access to them or not. The staff at the cathedral - who I'm sure were overwhelmed by the crowds (I was!) - weren't helpful. One security guard member of staff saw my confusion and tried to help me. He opened the ropes and let me over to the other side. He told me to ask someone to do that again when I was ready to see the other side of the cathedral. But when I asked, the response was a pretty unfriendly "you have to go outside and come back in." Maybe my experience was worse than usual because of my bad timing. But I can't recommend the audio tour. $20 for an audio tour on your phone - and one where half of the stops aren't accessible to you - is too much. I suggest popping in, looking around, and leaving them whatever is a reasonable donation to you. (Note: The reason I wanted to visit St. Patrick's Cathedral was to see the new mural in the cathedral's narthex. I had read about it in the Times and wanted to see it in person. The mural - painted by Brooklyn-based artist Adam Cvijanovic and titled "What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding" - is 25 feet tall and spans several walls. It features the 1879 Apparition at Knock, saints, and modern immigrant processions. It's beautiful and thought-provoking and definitely worth a visit. Pop in and drop a donation in the box.)

Yes! This is a top notch Catholic Church. The only one I feel as welcome as I do at Saint Patricks…read more It reminds me so much of the church where I raised my daughter. The alter has been brought down to the center of the beautiful historic building. The parishioners sit in a semi circle around the alter. The priests and chorus are behind. I was on the side today but felt included. The mass is modern and prayers for everything and everyone. If you want something/someone included during mass you just fill out a paper and let them know. The mass is simple. The responses are sung. I enjoy the chorus. My friend is in the chorus. In fact my family has attended this church in the past. I've got a lot of musicians in my family that made their living playing orchestra in the shows. But that's another story! The church design and decor are so beautiful. There are a lot of angels painted on the the walls. They do not mind picture taking. I'll go back for service and take pictures of the Angels I'm sure!! I see people of every age, elderly, middle age, people in work uniforms, small children, college age, teens and expectant mothers. You name it everyone is covered. They have plenty of room for strollers to be wheeled in the back. Parents walk and rock to quiet babies during service. I find their dedication to attend mass inspiring. Dress is not important. I saw one girl in zebra print work out pants. What I'm trying to say is, this is not an elitist church like some I attend. It's not a wealthy Parrish I'm sure. They pass the baskets two times for donations. I highly recommend if you are in the neighborhood!! Visitors are welcome.

The way he preaches is quite off since he is always off topic, brags about his accomplishments a lot and say something offensive to people that many people weren't happy about. Plus, he always looks how much money we put in for the mass collection and even times, he upsets people when he is pushy and pressures people to do his way of something when operating the mass. The music is disappointing because the woman who sings there, doesn't put her heart into the songs. She was the only one that sings with the pianist. A lot of people I knew who were in that community and myself had to turn away from this church ever since Ato operates the church weirdly. Even there is one time, I came to mass and there's only 4 people left. Where there's no music, no positivity and all. Ato said something offensive that triggers me when he preaches and the prayers is very different compare to the original prayers that we normally pray. I felt so lost and everything wasn't aligned. Just a disappointing experience..
