The Church of Our Lady Queen of Angels is a former Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 228 East 113th Street in Manhattan, New York City.
History
At the time the parish was founded in 1886, East Harlem was still a relatively rural area. Archbishop Michael Corrigan asked Bonaventure Frey OFMCap to establish a national parish for German Catholics Catholics who had moved north from Yorkville.
The Neo-Romanesque church was built and staffed by the Capuchin Friars. It was the third Capuchin parish in the city.
Although the church closed in 2007, the parish school remains open. Our Lady Queen of Angels School is a member of Partnership Schools, a network of nine Catholic PreK-8 schools serving Cleveland and New York.
Our Lady Queen of Angels convent is occupied by the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, who operate the "Fr. Solanus Soup Kitchen".
