Save St. Brigid’s! Emergency call to action!!!
Tuesday, August 30th
At 2:15 pm
60 Centre StreetYour presence is needed to help save St. Brigid’s Church from demolition!
On Tuesday, August 30th at 2:15 pm, 60 Centre Street, court 1a, part 12, In the courtroom of Justice Barbara Kapnick — arguments will be heard by the lawyers from the NYC Catholic Archdiocese and our lawyer, Harry Kresky.
The archdiocese wants to have the temporary restraining order removed so they can immediately begin to demolish this historic 160-year old East Village landmark, living parish, and sacred site.
Our lawyer has requested that we pack the courthouse to show Judge Kapnick just how strongly we care about this building and the parishioners.
Please make the time to attend—the hearing should not last much longer than 1 hour. The presence of the entire community is absolutely critical. If the restraining order is voided the church will be destroyed and another monstrous tower will most likely be erected in its place!

Thank you for your support!
