If you want to see an example of the large historic Church of the Intercession in upper Manhattan, set in a large garden and cemetery with notable men such as James Audubon and John Jacob Astor buried on the grounds and a monument to another Astor who had perished in the Titanic disaster, this is the place to visit. Former Mayor of New York, Edward Koch, is also buried here. The location is bucolic and serene with Hudson River views. The impressive Church of the Intercession, circa 1910-1915, seems ancient. The grounds surrounding the church are actually Trinity Church's uptown cemetery and encompasses about 23 acres in total area, divided on both the east and west sides of Broadway from Riverside Drive to Amsterdam Avenue and between 153rd and 155th Streets. It is a unique place in New York City. I entered through a cemetery gate on West 155th Street and walked around looking at graves of a few well known people, then past the only mauseleum in Manhattan. I loved every minute of this trip uptown and may return to see the church interior.

I went to Church of the Intercession because my good friend, who is also the church organist was being honored. The church itself is quite large. Definitely cathedral size. It is connected to an on-site cemetary. I sat in with their choir. The rehearsal space is just off the chancel space. I especially enjoyed the service because it was bilingual (English and Spanish). Prayers, h yuh mns and the sermon were done in both languages alternately. After the service, a lovely reception was held upsatirs in a spacious gym/hall. The food was tasty and the wait time was pretty good as well. I look forward to returning for another mass.

A warm and welcoming Episcopal Church in a beautiful Gothic setting. Disclaimer: I was in the choir for the sung mass in English @10am Sunday. Our choir director and organist passed away during COVID, our priest-in-charge retired and the interim priest-in-charge shut down our music program. In addition, I was forced out of the city by the mortgage’s inflation of rents. I am continuing to participate as a congregant from my current digs in Dunellen, NJ, while urging that we #AbolishTheMortgage so that our parish, city, state, and country does not collapse.

Watched the 109 Reading ‘‘Twas the night b4 Christmas - Candlelight Carol Service on tv. The Christmas mass was the best I’ve ever seen. Especially with people wearing costumes & they showed a dog in a sweater. (which touch my heart) The Dancers, Singing & very informative. It was a community, brought together. * More churches should watch this & take A lesson from it. Clement Clark Moore was a gift to us all His story lives on in our hearts forever. Totally enjoyed I hope it will be shown again for many years to come.

My mother and I visited at an off-service time when the sanctuary was open. It is a beautiful sanctuary. We loved touring the cemetary, seeing the tomb of John James Audubon at the rear of the church. We loved touring the museum of Spanish American antiquities across the street. This is a fantastic touring site when visiting New York City and Manhattan .

Father James Hagen has energized the congregation and restarted programs pre-pandemic. Other than spiritual touching sermons; I am excited about the restart of the Sports and Recreation Programs on Saturday 12/09/2023 at 10 am. Also excited about the Girls Scouts Troop 3004. Richard

John James AUDUBON is one of my genealogical cousins. His maternel grandparents are my ancestors The next time I come to visit New-York, I will come to see the monument erected in the cemetery in honor of him. And I will also visit your church. Hélène. ( from France).

Beautiful church with historical graves. Architecture is fantastic having a resemblance to The Cloisters. Nice area on Broadway and transportation via #1 IRT train, and via local busses. Broad choices of restaurants.

This building is well preserved and it has a great Royal School of Church Music program

This is a really beautiful church. They always have activities going on and is worth the visit just for the architecture and history of it.
