"Our church is open all day. Venid y adoremos." As I have observed at other unlocked churches in Brooklyn, worshipers visit the church often. I have seldom found an empty church.
The parish bulletin is one of the friendliest and most welcoming that I have seen.

This 1891 cornerstone may have been removed from the old church when the present church was dedicated in 1912. Please see the helpful narrative of parish history linked here. Also see the excellent account given here on McNamara's blog.

A most beautiful church, but more important....this is where I got my Religious Foundation. I forever remember the wonderful memories and the things I was taught.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this picture brings back childhood memories! I always referred to this church as my grandma's church, even though we're Jewish, since Blessed Sacrament was around the corner from where their store and apt was. Even before I googled the church and came across this site, I could picture the steeples and the green tiles (were they tiles?) at the top. I was fascinated by the size of it -- it seemed more like a cathedral to me. I've been living in California for more than 30 years now, but enjoy the nostalgia of my childhood. Thanks for posting the photo!
ReplyDeleteI went to sunday school & made my first communion here, just seeing these pictures brought back memories..

ReplyDeleteI was baptized at Blessed Sacrament in September 1941. Seventy four years ago this month.
When I lived there was 54-69 I use to hear church bells everyday. Are the Church bells still rung?
