Our Lady of Vilnius Church (New York City)

Our Lady of Vilnius Church was a closed Roman Catholic parish church that had been threatened with demolition and been the subject of a landmarks preservation debate. It is the national parish church of the Lithuanian Catholic community. The former church was located at 568-570 Broome Street, in Hudson Square, Manhattan, New York City, east of the entrance to the Holland Tunnel but predating it. The church was demolished in May, 2015.
==History==
The parish was established in 1909 "as a national parish church to serve Lithuanian Catholics in New York City."〔(Church of Our Lady of Vilnius (Roman Catholic) )〕〔Remigius Lafort, S.T.D., Censor, ''(The Catholic Church in the United States of America: Undertaken to Celebrate the Golden Jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Pius X. Volume 3: The Province of Baltimore and the Province of New York, Section 1: Comprising the Archdiocese of New York and the Diocese of Brooklyn, Buffalo and Ogdensburg Together with some Supplementary Articles on Religious Communities of Women. )''. (New York City: The Catholic Editing Company, 1914), p.362.〕
"Located on Broome Street near Varick, the parish became a center fostering not only religious belief but also Lithuanian culture and national identity. People rallied around their church to maintain community bonds and remain close to their homeland. Our Lady of Vilnius was for many years home for a local chapter of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal order.〔
"The church was built by an enclave of Lithuanian longshoremen and their families who lived in the area before the Holland Tunnel’s construction uprooted them, seeing them resettle in the Bronx and the suburbs."〔Lincoln Anderson. Keeping faith, "(Lithuanians Pray Church Will Reopen )." ''Downtown Express:The Newspaper of Lower Manhattan'' Volume 22, Number 43 (March 5–11, 2010).〕 "In the 1920s, construction of the nearby Hudson Tunnel and its access roads uprooted the community, and by the time the tunnel opened in November, 1927, many one-family homes belonging to Lithuanian parishioners had been destroyed."〔 "Over the years, however, the Lithuanians continued to return to the church for social activities and for Masses in their native language."〔
