All Saints Church (Manhattan)

The Church of All Saints is a historic Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 47 East 129th Street, at the corner of Madison Avenue, in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Built from 1883-1886 and designed by architects Renwick, Aspinwall and Russell - but attributed by historian Michael Henry Adams directly to James Renwick, Jr. - the church complex includes a parish house (1886–89) as well as a school (1902) designed by Renwick's nephew, William W. Renwick.The complex was designated a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in January 2007.ParishThe parish was established in October 1879, under the supervision of the Rev. (later Monsignor) James W. Power, a native of Ireland, who was its first pastor. The parish was originally intended for the neighborhood's Irish immigrants. As the neighborhood has changed, the parish today is predominantly African-American and Nigerian. It is currently staffed by the Franciscan Friars.
