Title A name given to the resource St. Lucy's Roman Catholic Church Subject The topic of the resource churches (buildings) Description An account of the resource St. Lucy's Church is located near Branch Brook park, the Colonnade apartments and the now-demolished Columbus Homes. This building completed in 1925 is one of the largest Roman Catholic churches in the archdiocese of Newark and has served the Italian-American community of the First Ward. Architecturally, the church has a hybrid plan with Romanesque Revival and eclectic elements. The front facade presents a tripartite configuration with the main arched entryway flanked by colossal pilasters and surmounted by a rose window. The materials used are beige brick for the walls, white terra cotta for the trims and surrounds, and copper for the standing seam roof. In the interior, the elaborate ornamentation are supplemented by numerous murals, stained glass windows, reliefs and sculptures.
