Saint John Nepomucene's Roman Catholic Church

The Catholic church on Polk Street has served Guttenberg’s north end for decades. Sacraments, confessions, and weekly masses anchor the parish calendar. Weddings and baptisms fill the schedule, drawing families from up and down the Hudson. Sunday mornings see two English-language liturgies, with one Spanish service for the afternoon crowd.

At the heart of the block sits the stone façade on 7007 Polk St, a familiar landmark for longtime residents. Funerals and memorial Masses are coordinated through the sacristy office, though details aren’t posted on any marquee. The building itself shows the weathering of decades, with a modest parking strip out front and a side driveway for parishioners arriving early.

When calls come in, the parish keeps a quiet back room for weekday requests. A recorded menu walks visitors through the right extension—baptisms, anointing of the sick, or just weekday confession times. Notes on the parish bulletin board list the next seasonal devotions and novenas posted in both languages.

For first-time visitors, the simplest way in is to follow the GPS to 7007 Polk St, then dial (201) 868-9444 if the doors are locked. Between the school dismissal rush and evening choir practice it can get busy.
