Parish of St. Christopher and St. Sylvia (Red Hook, New York)

The Parish of St. Christopher and St. Sylvia, located in Red Hook, New York, is a historic Roman Catholic parish under the Archdiocese of New York. Founded in 1910, St. Christopher's Church was established to serve a growing Catholic community, with parishioners contributing stones for its construction. The parish school opened in 1962 but closed in 1985 due to low enrollment. In 2014, St. Sylvia's Church in nearby Tivoli merged with St. Christopher's, although it remains available for special occasions. The parish center features a chapel with beautiful stained-glass windows depicting various saints, making it a notable site for visitors interested in religious history and architecture.
