Description: The Church of St. Benedict the Moor is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 342 West 53rd Street, Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1883 to serve the African-American community of the city staffed by Spanish friars of the Third Order of St. Francis (T.O.R.) from 1953. The parish was reduced to mission status, and is currently maintained by members of the new Lumen Christi congregation. A three-storey rectory at 338-342 West 53rd Street was built in 1965 to the designs of Joseph Mitchell of 355 West 54th Street for $220,000.
