The scaffolding will return to the front of St. Brigid's

We've enjoyed seeing the front of St. Brigid's on Avenue B at Eighth Street since the scaffolding came down on May 26.





However, as we suspected, the scaffolding is down just for the short-term. Edwin Torres, chairman of the Committee to Save St. Brigid's, confirmed this for us in an e-mail. He said the scaffolding was interfering with testing that needed to be done inside the church. He had hoped to meet with the construction manager to find out how much longer before the new scaffolding would return.

Torres also posted a letter last Friday for supporters of the church.

    It was too good to be true. Will probably need to wait another few years..
