"Chosen as the exterior stand-in for Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, this mid‑19th‑century Neo‑Gothic parish in High Beech delivered the right balance for a New York–set church—old enough to feel historic but not so old that it looked decrepit or un‑American. Monsignor Wicks greets his congregation outside its doors on screen, while the relatively small, plain interior meant all inside-the-church scenes were constructed on a stage at roughly twice the real church’s scale. Its look and plausibility as a Catholic church in the U.S. made it the rare English location that convincingly sells a Hudson Valley setting." - Alex Jhamb Burns
