The Church of St. Joachim is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 26 Roosevelt Street, in Manhattan, New York City. The parish was established in 1888 by the Missionary Fathers of St. Charles Borromeo,〔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.337-338.〕 with the Rev. F. Morelli, C.S.C.B., as its first pastor. It was the first national parish in the United States founded for Italians, who had previously had to worship in the basements of the Catholic churches made up of Irish-American congregants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= American Guild of Organists NYC )〕 The total debt of the property was $158,000. Because of the increased parish numbers, the Rev. Vincent Jannuzzi, C.S.C.B., founded St. Rocco's Chapel at 18 Catherine Slip as a mission chapel of St. Joachim Parish, as well as the Madonna Day Nursery on Cherry Street, which opened in 1910 and was staffed by the Sisters of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine. The 1913-1914 parish statistics listed 1,000 baptisms, 250 marriages and 400 confirmations.〔 The parish had a brief connection with Mother Cabrini, who was helped by the Scalabrini Missionaries upon her arrival in the United States in 1889. The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, whom she had founded, were the first teachers at the St. Joachim parish school when it was opened. They withdrew from the school in 1892.〔"At the end of August, 1892, Mother Cabrini had to remove her Missionaries from the school.33 The formal severance came in a letter of September 5, 1892: The Gentlemen Trustees of the Church of Saint Joachim in Roosevelt Street having ..." See Mary Louise Sullivan, "Mother Cabrini: Italian Immigrant of the Century," (1992), p.94〕 ==Building== The midblock gabled brick Victorian Italianate church with Romanesque details "in the Roman style" was designed with a seating capacity of 800.〔 In 1914, the parish consisted of 18,000 Italian immigrants and second-generation Italian-Americans.〔 The church owned three buildings then, of which one it had planned to turn into a parochial school.〔 The Romanesque church tower, built 1888, at 22 Roosevelt Street "was a harbinger for Judson Memorial Church".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Joachim's Church (Manhattan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
