Church Of The Assumption Guardian Building”

This impressive structure was originally built as a multipurpose facility: Catholic Church, theater, school, and recreation hall. The theater had a fully equipped stage and seating for 1,100. The “Guardian Angel” statue is a most distinctive feature in the large portico over the front doors of the Church of the Assumption. It remains a very important part of the spiritual life of Peekskill
