3. St. John the Baptist

St. John the Baptist
210 West 31st Street Between 7th & 8th Ave

I went into church one day after work, on the way to Port Authority. It was a very simple, but nicely designed Gothic church which gave a pleasant feeling. St. John the Baptist(ran by Capuchin Franciscans) is only a few blocks away from St. Francis of Assisi (also staffed by Franciscans) but it is very different in terms of style and decoration. I stepped in during daily Mass but the church was rather full with parishioners celebrating Mass. It always give me a very warm feeling to see an active parish.
