Calvary-St. George's Parish is an Episcopal parish in Manhattan, New York City. It was formed in 1976 from the merger of the parishes of three churches which were in close proximity:
With all three parishes facing dwindling enrollment and financial problems, the combined parish deconsecrated the Church of the Holy Communion and sold the church buildings to Odyssey House, a drug rehabilitation program, in order to raise money and pay down their debts. Odyssey House, in turn, sold them to nightclub entrepreneur Peter Gatien, who opened the New York Limelight club there in 1983. The buildings are currently the location of an upscale boutique mall called the Limelight Marketplace.
The current Priest-in-Charge is Jake Smith, who came to the parish and was ordained as a presbyter in the fall of 2006. The other priests are Ben DeHart, Jim Munroe, and Nancy Hanna. The parish has a soup kitchen ministry at Olmstead Hall which serves a hot meal to approximately 125 persons each Thursday at noon.
The other two sanctuaries of the combined parish both remain in use.
