St. Brigid's parish, at St. Nicholas Avenue and Linden Street, Ridgewood or Bushwick, served Catholics a hundred years ago, mainly Irish and German. Frescoes depict Irish saints, but some of the stained glass windows bear German memorial names. At present, the parish celebrates many ancestries with a collection of flags from the Caribbean and Latin America.

Pupsie with Joseph Hone and the baseball team of St. Brigid. If you can identify the approximate year or name anyone else, please comment below this post! Thank you.
I was baptized here at St. Brigid's and am trying to get a copy of my certificate so I can get married. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I could get in touch with the church. Unfortunately the number above for the church is no longer in service.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance!
Went to St. Brigid's around 1949 - 1955. Gee, the outside hasn't changed any. :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been nearly 25 years since I've stepped foot in the parish that I so dearly loved. I miss you, St. Brigid!
ReplyDeleteMy memories of St. Brigid's are still alive and wonderful. It was my childhood Parish and school until 6th grade. It stays alive in my heart reminding me of when I loved being Catholic.
ReplyDeleteI was baptized in St Brigid'a Church in 1940. I attended St. Brigid's School from 1946 to 1954.
