Built at the turn of the 20th Century, our building originally housed St. Clement Polish-Catholic Church. A grand and ornate structure, the building originally functioned as both a church and a parochial school. So broad was its use that the Cardinal who blessed the church’s opening praised it for its “practicability.
After construction of the Lincoln Tunnel led to the relocation of many of the church’s parishioners, the Diocese eventually closed the doors. Before it became our home, the church building served as a rec facility (with a basketball court in the sanctuary) and home of the Daytop Center for men recovering from addiction.

These days the church building maintains many of its beautiful historic features, as well as its practicability and broad range of uses. The sanctuary still has the ceiling murals and windows of its Polish-Catholic origin. It is a beautiful space for worship and celebration, but also a functional space for education, performance, rehearsal, and more.
Metro's building is made available periodically for weddings, events, and performances.
Metro office hours are Monday 10:00-5:00, Tuesday-Thursday 10:00-6:00 & Friday 10:00-3:00
