The Church of Our Lady of Peace is a historic Roman Catholic parish church of the Archdiocese of New York, located at 239-241 East 62nd Street[2] between Second and Third Avenues in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1886-87 at the cost of $200,000,[1] and was designed by Samuel A. Warner in the Victorian Gothic style[3][4] for the Church Extension Committee of the Presbytery of New York. It served as the sanctuary for the Church of the Redeemer, a German-speaking congregation, then subsequently became the Bethlehem Lutheran Church[4] before finally becoming the home of the newly formed Italian Madonna della Pace parish in 1918.[3][4]
The church, which has been called a "gem",[4] is located in the Treadwell Farm Historic District, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967.[1]
In November 2014, the Archdiocese announced that the Church of Our Lady of Peace was one of 31 neighborhood parishes which would be merged into other parishes.[5] Our Lady of Peace was to be merged into the Church of St. John the Evangelist at 348 East 55th Street.[6]
