I was in town for a conference and wanted to get in a Sunday prayer. Wow, was it nice to find this church. When entering the church one can feel the warmth and the kindness of the people there. The altar is a visual anchor that draws your attention to the statue of Mary in the Center. The placement of Jesus in the stain glass above the statue of Mary was so symbolic. There is also a nice Stain glass window in the rear of the church that has Mary in the center with the holy spirit (dove) above her head. This experience, like others makes me look up the history of the church. If you would like to hear more about the church read on....Around 1854, Greenwich became a mission station of St. John's in Stamford. Visiting priests offered mass in private homes or at the Town Hall. The 1st St Mary's was build in 1860. Later a new St Mary's church was dedicated in 1879. TA disastrous fire destroyed that church along with other buildings in the area in 1900. The Altar miraculously was saved. In just 4 months the cornerstone for this church was laid. The stone for the church comes from local quarries. On 9/3/1905, an overflow congregation attended the dedication ceremony. Besides numerous masses and sacraments offered through the years, there have been some notable funerals. The founder of Nabisco, Adolphus Green in 1917 and there were a number of vitims from 9/11. The St Mary/Putnam Cemetery is a resting place of many members of the parish. One notable entertainer, Victor Borge is also buried there. The Church continues to be a central part of the Greenwhich community. Very worth a visit if you are strolling Greenwich Avenue. One can only do so much shopping.

I used to frequent this church throughout my life. As a young girl, I would attend Spanish Mass with Mercedes and her sister/friend, Isabel, who resided in Armstrong Court. Mercedes taught me how to crochet, but that is another story. And when older, I would attend Mass from time to time. My sister got married here in the 90s, and on Sunday, we attended Mass, where the name of Mamá, Hilda Matos, was mentioned. Mamá has now been in Heaven for 2 years. She is dearly missed and loved.This church is lovely. It is situated right on the Avenue; it is often hard to find parking. But there is some parking in the back. The architecture of this Roman Catholic Church is beautiful and a truly lovely sight for those denizens of CT and those visiting. Those wishing to visit should come by in December when the Avenue is beautifully lit with Christmas cheer.

We visited this Church for a special event and it was fabulous. The Church is magnificent and we will absolutely be going back.

Upon entering St.Mary Church your are greeted with the voices of angels. Beautiful church located with parking right in the center of town.

The Sunday 9am Mass had a role for the children's choir and they were amazing! We love attending Mass here when in town.
