St Anselm R C Church

This has been my family church for many years since moving to this part of Bay Ridge. Originally I was a member of the Our Lady Of Angels congregation but when I moved to the 80’s this was my closest church. It’s smaller in size than OLA but I like that since it affords a little more closeness to the priests holding mass and means the line to receive offerings is not forever long. It’s nicely decorated for the major holidays such as Easter and Christmas and for many years I have been attending the 10AM mass which is considered the family mass since many bring the younger children to it. There is an earlier one but I seldom make that one.
I have since moved from the immediate closeness to this church and am now considered a part of the St. Patrick’s zone but I will still walk down to this church as I prefer how it feels to me as a parishioner. If you are the faith then by all means stop in and see what its all about. You don’t have to be super religious to light a candle for someone in your life or do a little reflection. I know I sure am not these days but I still pop in a number of times a year.
