Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Bernard’s - GOR-213150-cE23
Our Lady of Guadalupe at St. Bernard’s is very involved in the Hispanic communities of the city.
It is located at 229 West 14th Street, between Seven and Eighth Avenues.
The first Spanish-speaking Catholic parish in New York City, serving working-class Spaniards. At the time, that area of 14th street was considered “Little Spain”. The parish was merged in 2003 with the neighboring St. Bernard Parish to create the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe & St. Bernard.
The church building is a former mid-19th-century brownstone rowhouse. Its conversion to a church created a double-story sanctuary. The church also included a "side chapel, tiny balcony, and clerestory." The monumental facade completed in the Spanish Baroque style or "classically proportioned Spanish Revival façade" was built in 1921.
The church remained popular with the various Hispanic communities of New York, serving Spaniards, Spanish-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and other Latin Americans.
