Info
The St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church is located in Bayonne, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2011.The building was designed by the ecclesiastical architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh of Boston. It was built in 1930 in granite as the main material. The Romanesque Revival style replaced the Gothic style. There are more than 40 stained glass windows in the Church and the Rectory that were made in Dublin, Ireland in the Harry Clarke Studio, in order to tell the history of the parish. No other examples of his work survive anywhere in North America.
As a tribute to the early Irish parishioners that were the cornerstone of the Church the workers carved a Celtic cross in a cut-stone found at the top of the Church’s front facade.
