Catholic Church in South Village With a Historic Organ
Step into a Catholic church in South Village where stained glass, a historic organ and Godfather Part II history meet.
⛪ A Romanesque Revival Parish
St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church is a Catholic church in South Village, with worship on the corner of West Houston and Sullivan streets dating back to 1866. Founded for Italian immigrants, the Romanesque Revival parish at 154 Sullivan Street offers a quiet, stained glass refuge in Lower Manhattan.
Inside, neighborhood gatherings and services with singing share the room with a historic Jardine and Sons organ and a depiction of Mary with baby Jesus. The corner has a screen history, too. The church and surrounding street make brief appearances in the early 1900s Little Italy scenes of The Godfather Part II.
Mass runs Sunday at 9 AM, 11 AM and 1 PM in Spanish, with a Saturday vigil at 5 PM and weekday Mass Tuesday through Friday at 8 AM and ten past noon. The parish office keeps Monday through Friday hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, with a lunch closure from noon to 1 PM for anyone stopping by with questions.
