It would have been located about 61st Street and faced perhaps Woodlawn, east side of street. It had a classically styled temple facade with an inscription that began " Blesings and Glory... Thanksgiving and honor.." Any info appreciated. I am looking ot find a church that no longer exists. It would have been located about 61st Street and faced perhaps Woodlawn, east side of street.

The building that houses the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer was formerly the parish of Holy Cross (with a school just south of there on Maryland), thus putting three huge Catholic parishes (Holy Cross, St. Clara's and St. Cyril's) within eight blocks of each other.
