}}St. Malachy Roman Catholic Church is a parish church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located in Manhattan on West 49th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The parish has served the theatre community in a special way since 1920, and its parishioners have included a large number of celebrities in the field of acting, such as Bob Hope and Gregory Peck.[2]

Founding

The parish was founded in 1902 by Archbishop Farley, with the Rev. William Daly being named the first pastor.[1][3] Services were soon being held in a basement sanctuary.[1] The current church complex was designed by prolific ecclesiastical architect, Thomas J. Duff, and built the following year.[1]

The Actors' Parish

Around 1920 the Theater District started to move uptown into this area, and actors, dancers, and musicians became prominent worshipers at the church, replacing the traditional, working class congregants. To answer their needs, the pastor, Monsignor Edward F. Leonard, had the Chapel of St. Genesius, the patron saint of actors – commonly called the "Actors' Chapel" – constructed below the main church in 1920.[1] He sought the special permission of the Archbishop of New York for Masses to be celebrated there at 4 A.M. (which was banned by canon law at the time) to accommodate the non-standard schedules of theater workers and thus make worship convenient for them.

St. Malachy soon became a primary place of worship for the entertainment community.[1] It gained worldwide attention when the church was the setting for the funeral of Rudolph Valentino, as well as of the wedding of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to Joan Crawford.[1] Celebrity worshipers were often in attendance, as well as theater goers, and the nearby location of Madison Square Garden during that time helped to provide a steady stream of visitors. Until the late 1960s average monthly attendance at Sunday services totaled some 16,000 people.[4] The church's chimes would play "There's No Business Like Show Business."[1]

Changing neighborhoods

By 1968, the neighborhood was undergoing a drastic change as the theatre community started to move out and the area became home to a community plagued by poverty and drugs. Madison Square Garden moved away. Most who stayed were elderly and poor. Many were held virtually under siege in decaying single room occupancy hotels or in tenements with a tub in the kitchen and a shared bathroom in the hallway.[5]

Msgr. Thomas J. O'Brien was brought from a parish in the South Bronx to help deal with the new realities of the neighborhood. He was succeeded by the Rev. George W. Moore in 1976, who created a new model of pastoral outreach.[6] Under his pastorate, the church "expanded its mission to the elderly, poor, homeless, and home-bound."[1] In 1991, after 25 years as pastor, Moore was awarded a Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre for his service to the elderly of the theater district.[1] He received it shortly before his death from cancer.[7]

The Catholic nursing home where he was being cared for went to court to require that he accept treatment. Against the judgment of four psychiatrists, the judge declared him incompetent and ordered that a feeding tube be inserted into his stomach. He died a month later, at age 84.{{cite news|first=Kirk|last=Johnson|title=Sick Priest ruled incompetent|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/08/nyregion/sick-priest-ruled-incompetent.html?scp=27&sq=monsignor%20thomas%20j.%20o%27brien&st=cse|date=November 8, 1986|work=New York Times|accessdate=December 27, 2011}}
