About Saint Peter's Episcopal Church
Saint Peter's Episcopal Church is a welcoming, progressive parish located in Midtown Manhattan at the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 54th Street. The church serves as a bilingual English and Spanish-speaking community that explicitly welcomes people of all races, sexual orientations, and gender identities, including immigrants and those seeking documentation. Known for its iconic modernist Sanctuary—a New York City Landmark featuring a distinctive organ—and the beloved Chapel of the Good Shepherd designed by artist Louise Nevelson, Saint Peter's combines liturgical worship with vibrant engagement in the arts and social action. The parish offers Sunday liturgies in English at 11:00 a.m. and in Spanish at 1:00 p.m., along with the unique Jazz Vespers service at 5:00 p.m., a tradition since 1965 featuring jazz musicians in prayer. Saint Peter's also operates community programs including an Older Adults Center and provides immigration accompaniment services, embodying a commitment to healing and justice rooted in faith.
