Brigid's stay extended again : The Villager
A temporary restraining order against demolition of the St. Brigid's [Catholic] Church building has been extended to Aug. 30 [2005], when State Supreme Court Justice Barbara R. Kapnick will hear argument in the suit to preserve the building by the Committee to Save St. Brigid's against the Catholic Archdiocese of New York. At left, inside St. Brigid's, statues have been taken down and some wrapped in plastic.
The Church is not a landmark but historically significant as the first church build by the newly arrived Irish in 1848 after the famine and the first great wave of Irish immigration.
If you are in New York City, the exterior of the church can be seen
at 119 Avenue B (between East Seventh and Eighth Streets). The protest web site
is Anti-Abomination
