Renovated St. Brigid’s first Mass
Sunday, January 27th, 2013
St. Brigid’s Church on Avenue B at 8th Street. The church is open again and fully renovated after almost being condemned for being structurally unsound. Today was the first public mass being said in the renovated church.
This is the first time I’ve seen the stained glass windows with light behind them.
The line to get in went way down 8th Street.
The mass was scheduled for 5PM but it took about 50 minutes to get everyone inside. The Archbishop was there, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, though I didn’t see him.
A party was being prepared in the basement.
EV Grieve has been covering the story of St. Brigid’s for a while.
Really beautiful
