Looking at the work that will "enable St. Brigid's Church to last another two hundred years"

Here's the latest message from Edwin Torres, chairman of the Committee to Save St. Brigid's:

"The entire foundation is being strengthened; this will enable St. Brigid's Church to last another two hundred years."

He also posted these photos of the work being done in the lower portion of the church...

    That baptismal font is probably 100 years old (3rd picture on the left). Someone probably thought there's nothing sacred here before it's sent out to the dumpster.

    I was baptized in that fountain. That photo makes me truly sad. :-(
