The San Isidoro y San Leandro Western Orthodox Catholic Church of the Hispanic Mozarabic Rite is a church in the Alphabet City area of the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was consecrated in 1892.
The structure began as a tenement house, acquired by the Catholic Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in 1891 for $7,500 (equivalent to $244,000in 2022). The new building was built by architect Edward Wenz for a fee of 16,200 (equivalent to $528,000in 2022), and consecrated in 1892. [1] [2]
Over time, the neighborhood became more Russian and Ukrainian, and the German, Polish, and Hungarian population moved uptown. The congregation purchased and relocated to the St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in the Upper East Side in 1917, [3] and the building was sold to the Russian Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity sometime before 1930. [1]
The building was sold again in 1975, to become the San Isidoro y San Leandro Western Orthodox Catholic Church of the Hispanic Mozarabic Rite. [4]
The church appears on the cover of rapper Kool Moe Dee's 1987 album How Ya Like Me Now .

The Mozarabic Rite, officially called the Hispanic Rite, and in the past also called the Visigothic Rite, is a liturgical rite of the Latin Church once used generally in the Iberian Peninsula (Hispania), in what is now Spain and Portugal. While the liturgy is often called 'Mozarabic' after the Christian communities that lived under Muslim rulers in Al-Andalus that preserved its use, the rite itself developed before and during the Visigothic period. After experiencing a period of decline during the Reconquista, when it was superseded by the Roman Rite in the Christian states of Iberia as part of a wider programme of liturgical standardization within the Catholic Church, efforts were taken in the 16th century to revive the rite and ensure its continued presence in the city of Toledo, where it is still celebrated today. It is also celebrated on a more widespread basis throughout Spain and, by special dispensation, in other countries, though only on special occasions.
