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. Established in 1910, St. Christopher's Church was built to serve the growing Catholic community in the area, with parishioners contributing stones for its construction. The parish school opened in 1962 but closed in 1985 due to low enrollment.

The parish center features Holy Spirit Chapel with beautiful stained-glass windows depicting various saints. This site offers a glimpse into the rich history of Catholicism in the Hudson Valley, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers.
