ST. MALACHY'S was founded in 1902. While the neighborhood has witnessed many changes throughout the course of the past century, St. Malachy’s remains today an active, integral part of this most unique, most dynamic community. With the construction of The Actors’ Chapel below the main church in 1920, St. Malachy’s became a haven of worship for those in the entertainment business. George M. Cohan, Spencer Tracy, Perry Como, and Bob and Dolores Hope all worshipped at St. Malachy’s. On opening nights, many actors, writers, and producers come to light candles for the success of their shows. With its unique demographic of local Hell’s Kitchen residents, performing artists, and tourists, St. Malachy’s remains a place where people of all backgrounds are welcome. St. Malachy’s is ever a symbol of faith, hope and love, living the Gospel message in the hustle and bustle of New York’s Theatre District.
