Architectural Tour

Welcome to the online tour of Saint Jean Baptiste Church.  We hope you will experience something of the beauty and grandeur of our church, a place of prayer and celebration, and remind you that the church is open daily.  Group tours may be arranged by contacting the Parish Office at 212.288.5082.

Visit Ad Imaginem Dei, the web blog of art historian and parishioner Margaret Duffy.

Saint Jean Baptiste Church was founded in 1882 as a national church serving the expanding French Canadian population in Yorkville on New York’s Upper East Side.  It quickly became a spiritual center embracing many nationalities, as diverse as the city itself.
