Established in 1892, Our Lady of Pompeii shrine church has been a staple for immigrant families in the Greenwich Village area.
After moving locations a few times over the century, the Church stands on Carmine Street, catering to American, Italian, Brazilian and Filipino parishioners. It is also the home of the Scalabrini Center NYC, where migrants of all ethnicities can find assistance, including help with immigration forms, immigration advocacy and language translations.
