San Damiano Mission, Greenpoint

As of November, 2019, I have been unable to ascertain the status of Holy Family Church or the  San Damiano mission.

Please see my 2013 post about Holy Family parish for photographs. A few years ago, the parish was merged with that of St. Anthony of Padua and staffed by Oblates of Mary Immaculate from India, but it is now San Damiano Mission.

For a 2016 commentary about the inviting doors of this church, please see the blog Brooklyn Relics. While Holy Family church may be a relic of the Slovak community of workers in Greenpoint, this mission is no dead relic.

In August, 2016, the newspaper of the Archdiocese of St. Louis ran an article with a photo:

In September, 2019, the Brooklyn Eagle website noted that the organ at San Damiano Mission is merely two years old. See the article HERE.
