The Paulist Fathers, founded in 1858, is the first community of Roman Catholic priests founded for service in America. The Paulists seek to meet the contemporary culture on its own terms, to present the Gospel message in ways that are compelling but not diluted, so that the fullness of the Catholic faith may lead others to find Christ's deep peace and "unreachable quietness." Paulists do not condemn culture, nor do they try to conform the Gospel to it. Rather, we preach the Gospel in new ways and in new forms, so that the deep spiritual longings of the culture might find fulfillment in Jesus Christ. To this end, Paulists use printing presses, movie cameras, and the Internet to give voice to the words of Christ - the Word Himself - to a new generation of Americans. In addition to Paulist national ministries, the Paulists serve parishes, Catholic information centers, and campus ministries across North America, as well as Santa Susanna in Rome, designated as Rome’s American church.
Our parish was founded in 1858 by the new religious community of Roman Catholic priests, the Paulist Fathers under the leadership of Father Isaac Thomas Hecker, CSP, who is now Servant of God, the first step to Sainthood. Construction on our beautiful and historic church began in 1876 and completed in 1884. Our Church is decorated by some of the greatest American religious artwork executed by artists such as Robert Reid, William Laurel Harris – and even, a rare copy of one of Michelangelo’s masterpieces. The ceiling is decorated with a star map of January 25, 1885, the date of the Church’s dedication and the Feast of the Conversion of Paul, our patron. The building of our church continues today in the vibrant ministries and many community activities that are held here. Our Loaves & Fishes soup kitchens serves hundreds of people each week, our Winter Shelter provides meals and a warm place for people in need; our outreach ministry with Young Adult Catholics flourishes as does our outreach to Gay & Lesbian Catholics; and, our outreach to Arts & Artists hosts concerts, art exhibits, and visiting choirs. Many community organizations utilize our parish space for classes and meetings. We are the parish for students at Fordham University and The Julliard School. As the Mother Church of the Paulist Fathers (www.paulist.org), the first order of religious priests founded in the United States. You are likely to see Paulists who give parish missions and retreats around the country. The Paulist National Young Adult Ministries is also based here with their wonderful website www.bustedhalo.org. It's a wonderful parish with deep roots in New York City and in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. Welcome! Please see our parish bulletin or subscribe to our E-Bulletin or log onto www.stpaultheapostle.org for information on all the programs and services. Information is updated weekly.
In The Episcopal Church, we strive to love our neighbors as ourselves and respect the dignity of every person. Our liturgy retains ancient structure and traditions and is celebrated in many languages. Both men and women, including those who are married, are eligible for ordination as deacons, priests and bishops. We believe in amendment of life, the forgiveness of sin, and life everlasting. Lay people exercise a vital role in the governance and ministry of our church. Holy Communion may be received by all baptized Christians, not only members of the Episcopal Church. We uphold the Bible and worship with the Book of Common Prayer. We affirm that committed relationships are lifelong and monogamous. Episcopalians also recognize that there is grace after divorce and do not deny the sacraments to those who have been divorced. We affirm that issues such as birth control are matters of personal informed conscience. We celebrate our unity in Christ while honoring our differences, always putting the work of love before uniformity of opinion. All are welcome to find a spiritual home in the Episcopal Church.
The Armenian Evangelical Church of New York began with prayer meetings organized by Rev. Garabed Nergararian, shortly after his arrival from the Ottoman Empire in 1881. The first Sunday services of our church in New York under its present name, Armenian Evangelical Church, were held on November 14, 1896 at the Adams Memorial Presbyterian Church on East Thirtieth Street. Rev. H. H. Khazoyan, who arrived from Turkey for theological studies, led the initial organization of the church and later became the first pastor. While there were a few Armenians in New York City at the time, the persecutions and massacres of Armenians in Turkey that had begun in 1895 increased migration of Armenians to New York City. The Armenian Genocide of 1915 continued to bring Armenians, who were eager to practice Christianity freely in their new homeland. The decision to purchase the present building on 34th Street was made in November 1921 through a generous donation by the Telfeyan family. For over a hundred years, the Armenian Evangelical Church of New York has been a sanctuary for thousands of Armenians seeking spiritual fulfillment.
Many people wonder why they are finding it difficult to fulfill their destines. They discover that things are not working, even when they have made every conceivable efforts well for them to achieve ,their goals in life. The more efforts they make the more failure they experience. If such people will receive spiritual enlightenment from the Lord they realize that there is an internal mechanism in their lives which triggers off and activates failure each time they make spirited efforts towards their destines or achieving their goals in life.
