One might recall a tradition of crossing oneself or of men tipping their hats when passing a church. Despite the locked fence, a young lady stops here to pray before a statue, either Jesus as the Good Shepherd between the doors, or Mary above the doors.

And the public school across Fort Hamilton Parkway echoes the prayer.
For many decades, the Brentwood Josephites and lay teachers staffed this school, but in 2012 the bishop merged it into the newly-named St.Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy at 241 Prospect Park West, the former Holy Name school.

Thank you for posting these pictures. My dad's uncle, Monsignor John H. Brennan (1886-1964) was pastor of IHM from 1943 until his death in 1964. He loved the parish and its members.
