St. John Chrysostom's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, in the Morrisania section of the New York City borough of the Bronx.
== Parish history ==
The parish was established in 1899 for a mostly Irish immigrant congregation, breaking from the parish of St. Augustine by the Rev. Bernard F. Brady.〔 At that time, the neighborhood had a large Jewish population from Russia, Bohemia and Poland.〔(Official School Website: History ) (Accessed 31 March 2010〕 In 1913, "the Catholic population of the parish () about 1100, and the value of the church property () $180,000, with a debt of $72,000. A school is (1914) in process of construction.”〔 Assistant priests in 1913 included the Rev. Joseph J. McAndrew and the Rev. James J. Halligan.〔
By the mid-twentieth century, the Irish, Italian, Polish and other Europeans who lived in the area made way for a new group of residents who were mostly Latino (with immigrants from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic), as well as African Americans.〔 During the downturn of the South Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s, the area around the church was considered part of the 'Fort Apache' section of the South Bronx. Throughout the riots, the buildings surrounding St. John's burned and violence was at an all-time high. St. John's however, remained open and became a safe haven for children. It was often referred to as 'Little House on the Prairie.'"〔
Anthrax victim Kathy T. Nguyen had her funeral at St. John Chrysostom Roman Catholic Church on November 5, 2001. “Nguyen, a native of Vietnam, died of inhalation anthrax in New York on October 31.”〔(“Anthrax Victim Buried” Photo By Shaul Schwarz/Getty Images ) ‘’Life Magazine’’. (Retrieved 1 April 2011)〕 Also, the funeral of NYPD Officer Daniel Enchautegui of the 40th Precinct in the South Bronx was held in this church, presided over by Cardinal Edward M. Egan. During the service, Mayor Michael Bloomberg posthumously promoted the officer to the rank of detective first-grade.〔Manny Fernandez, (For N.Y.P.D., 2nd Funeral in 8 Days ), New York Times, December 14, 2005.〕
