The Church of the Resurrection is a Roman Catholic church located in Rye, New York. The parish was founded in 1880, and the current church building was completed in 1931. The Church of the Resurrection was established in 1880 by the Archbishop of New York, Cardinal John McCloskey, as a parish for Rye and Harrison, New York. Prior to the church's founding, Catholic residents of Rye and Harrison attended mass at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Port Chester. The first masses were said in a rented hall on the northeast corner of Cedar and Purchase Streets in Rye beginning on June 6, 1880. Eventually, the parish purchased the William Smith house in 1881 at the intersection of Purchase Street and the Boston Post Road, where services were then offered. The parish was incorporated on January 29, 1886, and title to the property was transferred from the archdiocese to the parish itself.
