Seamen's Institute
The Seamen's Church Institute of
New York and New Jersey, housed along the waterfront
on both sides of the Hudson River, is an organization
affiliated with the Episcopal Church and staffed by
 Episcopalian
priests and lay persons that was created to advocate
for the personal, professional, and spiritual well
being of the over one million merchant mariners who
enter the New York Harbor each year. Through its multiple
facilities, the institute provides hospitality and
assistance for seafarers as it promotes their safety,
dignity and improved working and living conditions.
St. Mary's by the Sea supports the
Seamen's Church Institute through contributions of
books, clothing and various sundry items of use to
the seamen who are served by the institute and by
the ministrations of Reverend and Mrs. Franklin Vilas
who volunteer there each week.
