Holy Rosary Church New York City’s photostream

Holy Rosary, located at 444 East 119th Street in East Harlem, was my family’s parish church from 1950-1967. I stumbled upon their flickr photostream today, and thought I should share it with my readers. When my older sisters were active with the CYO, they often spoke about Father Bob. Does anyone remember him? I think I have a photo of him somewhere in my archives.

We would love to see all of our former neighbors, friends and parishioners! Holy Rosary Church on East 119th Street is planning to revive the restoration of our Upper Church and seek landmark status. Join us any Sunday for Mass at 9:30 am and 11:00 am; Parish meetings at 12 noon to discuss restoration of church and keeping Holy Rosary Parish strong for another 130 years! Hope to see you all soon!!

My grandparents, Amelia DeAngelis and Giuseppe Spagnuolo, were married in this church on June 12, 1921. It’s lovely. I hope it’s never torn down and someone comes along and re-opens it someday.
