St Patrick's Cathedral

Gothic NYC church

St Patrick's Cathedral is the name of several prominent Roman Catholic churches, most famously the Gothic Revival cathedral on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, completed in 1878.

The name honors Ireland's patron saint, and these cathedrals often serve as cultural landmarks for Irish Catholic communities: We met on the steps of St Patrick's Cathedral.
