Across from a quiet park, the church sits at 832 E 166th St, Bronx, NY 10459. A modest red-brick facade marks the entrance, blending into the neighborhood’s storefront rhythm. Sidewalks buzz before Sunday services, while weekday visitors slip in for short prayers. The building hums with daily weekday Mass at noon, offering a midday break for workers nearby.
