See page 475 for the 1906 foundation of the parish of St. Nicholas of Tolentine. The church, on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Fordham Road, was dedicated in 1928. The rectory address is 2345 University Ave., Bronx NY 10468, telephone 718-295-6800. According to the AIA Guide, the church was designed by Delaney, O'Connor, and Schultz. The above view looks north on University Avenue towards Fordham Road. Left to right: an apartment house with scaffolding; a family services agency in a former school, the rectory, and the church, with its main entrance facing the busy intersection.

A description of the church, its history, its organ, and photos is here. A website of Augustinian Fathers on the East Coast is here.

The parish elementary school is located at 2336 Andrews Avenue, around the corner from the church. It seems to have one section per grade, with an enrollment over 300.
The sign at the rectory displays three languages of the parish: English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Any photo may be enlarged by clicking on it. For the Mass schedule, please check the parish website here.
