Church of St. John the Evangelist (Syracuse, New York)

It was constructed in the Gothic Revival architectural style and is centered by a large stone tower.

[2] It was selected by Patrick Anthony Ludden as the city's first cathedral upon establishment of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse in 1887, and as a result was expanded and renovated.

[1] It was closed in June 2010 by the Bishop Robert Cunningham and merged with the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

[2][3] In 2015, the Samaritan Center, Syracuse's largest soup kitchen, announced that it would move to occupy the church building, after a three year search.

After deciding on the Church of St. John the Evangelist, the center spent $1.45 million purchasing and renovating it.
