Things to do in New York, United States: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

May 10, 2022 Leida Jutras

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church

Reviewed By nancykX5463JV - Montauk, United States

St. Therese of Lisieux Church is a sacred and beautiful place. Fr. Tom Murray is the pastor and leads his parishioners with a beautiful song at the start of each mass, and he has a magnificent voice. More than the songs we sing each day, Fr. Tom feeds us inspiration and teaches us God;s way. The church is just beautiful and you will enjoy going to mass or even a visit.....light a candle, say a prayer, feel the presence of God.

Highly recommend if you are visiting Lake Placid ... The church was toward the end of a beautiful street in Lake Placid, only a few blocks away from the downtown area ... beautiful old church where one can feel the presence of God.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of New York and the seat of its Archbishop. Built by contributions large and small, it remains emblematic of the ascendance of religious freedom in the New World. As such, this international landmark is a beacon of hope for those who share the Catholic faith and a source of inspiration to the more than five million visitors of every religious denomination welcomed here each year. St. Patrick’s Cathedral has stood strong, overlooking 5th Ave, since 1879. The vibrancy of its windows, the beauty of its music and the purpose of its charitable outreach call us to respond to our shared humanity. Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is a must see destination when visiting New York. Our tour has been crafted to capture the essence of the church. It addresses the rich history of the past and the incredible art and architecture that makes it one of a kind. Timothy Cardinal Dolan, narrates the tour with Monsignor Robert Ritchie.

While visiting NYC for our son's 12th birthday, we had the great pleasure of attending Sunday mass at the Cathedral, then came back the next day for a formal tour of this beautiful church. After mass on Sunday, we took a bit of time to stroll through the facility to look at the art, statues and relics housed there. On Monday morning we returned for the guided audio tour that we'd purchased online. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a kind gentleman named Tony who explained how it all worked, issued us some electronic devices and headphones and we were off. Tony was extremely helpful and very personable. I would highly recommend purchasing the audio tour that explains the history and significance of many of the statues, altars and artifacts within the Cathedral.
