Info

The Church of St. Mary Magdalen is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, in Manhattan, New York City.
The church was originally established in 1873 to serve a German Catholic population. It was a mid-block gable-fronted brick single-cell building with Romanesque details located at 529 E 17th Street. In 1877 the parish added a rectory at 527 E 17th Street and a school at 523 E 17th Street. The next year, the Sisters of St. Dominic began operating the school. Their convent was located north of the school at 526 E 18th street. All buildings were demolished in the early 1940's to make way for Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village.
In 1945, the parish moved to its final location at Avenue D between 12th Street & 13th Street. The parish is now closed.
