Hard to fine a more emblematic, beautiful Catholic church in New Haven. This is the oldest church recently renovated to its amazing original splendor and where the tomb of Blessed Michael McGivney (at the left side just upon entering the Church. The combination of old carved wood and bright large stain glasses makes for an incredibly mystical experience. This is a place no visitor should ever miss

A beautiful Catholic Church with a fantastic history. It has just been completely renovated. In 1882, Father Michael McGivney, the Pastor of St Marys founded the Knights of Columbus in the basement of the Church, along with a small group of parishioners. Father McGivney founded the KofC to protect the widows and orphans of the Parish. The KofC was founded on the 3 principles of Charity, Fraternity & Unity. The Knights of Columbus has grown since then to over 2 million members world-wide. Father McGivney was just Beatified and his Mass of Thanksgiving was held at the Church on 10/31/2020. Beatification is the last step in the process of being Canonized as a Saint of the Catholic Church.

One of the very finest Churches in area. Beautiful architecture in center of New Haven and Yale community.

I don’t attend church here but went to look inside while roaming the Yale campus. It’s quite pretty here. When I visited there wasn’t anything in session so it was nice and quiet. Seems like a peaceful place to worship. There are yellow, blue, and green colors which I have rarely seen so vividly together so that was cool.

Beautiful old church.

In 1882 Father Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, the largest Catholic fraternal service organization in the world, at this magnificently beautiful gothic style church. Located near the grounds of Yale University, this church has a rich history, and even contains the crypt of and monument to Father McGivney. We ran a Knights if Columbus bus trip, from the Philadelphia and Bucks County Pennsylvania area to walk in the footsteps of our founders here. The trip was well attended including many knights and there wives, Legacy of Life volunteers, and members of the clergy. We were even blessed to have Bishop Michael J Fitzgerald, who is the Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia join us, who was invited by the pastor to perform the Mass that day. It was an amazing experience.

Beautiful church, birthplace of the Knights of Columbus.

A very pretty Church on the Yale campus

Beautiful Church, and amazing Priest and celebration. Truly a wonderful Catholic landmark of New Haven, and one of the cornerstones of honest and compassionate American Catholicism.

Beautiful church. Lovely history with the Knights of Columbus.

Starting home of the Knights of Columbus. Venerable Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, rests here at the back left. Beautiful choir when we attended a mass, which was dedicated to the memory of the Knights who have passed onto Heaven. A very moving experience for all to attend Mass here.

The House Of God the Holy Spirit Jesus and Mary Mother of all Nations Queen Of Heaven and Earth What a Beautiful place

I got married here. That says it all!

The people are extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful church. Wonderful place to visit and worship.

Beautiful church. Stunning windows, and the scourging scene is particularly powerful. Christ seems to be looking directly at us. The history of the parish is fascinating, as the KoC started there. The doors feature Dominican Saints and blesseds. Well worth the visit. Very easy to pray here.

Run by the Dominicans, its a really beautiful place and conducive to prayer. The are Eucharistic Hours too.

Stunning church, had no idea St.Marys would be so beautiful.

Awe inspiring cathedral. Clergy and participants bring about the fullness of Christ.

Solemn, restful, calming. Just peaceful. Old Latin, kind and gentle. The priest was probably the tallest, kindest man I ever met. Thank you for giving us peace and serenity in a crazy world.

The history of the church is amazing. This is where the Knights of Columbus were founded by Father Michael Mcgiveny!
