I went to a Marist High School in NJ and I sometimes recall some of the saying our Marist Brothers taught us. They always made me feel more at peace.<br /><br />DianDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199379716691811946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-86426427523495358652012-07-27T14:39:50.735-04:002012-07-27T14:39:50.735-04:00My grandparents were also married at the church in...My grandparents were also married at the church in 1915. I had read that the church burned down and that's why it was rebuilt. I'm wondering if they were able to save any of the old records.Miminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-79957765608214667862012-03-25T17:06:00.328-04:002012-03-25T17:06:00.328-04:00Hi mary!

The old church has been demolished in 1927, and it was rebuild in the same street but at 240 and not 210 Bleecker Street.

But, everything I've read states that the church was build in 1926/1929. Just a little confused.

Unlike (few Manahattan Churches) Natural light is able to permeate into this church, making it a better experience in my opinion.<br /><br />Was praying there today and an old Marist Brother's voice came to me and said "If you are doing what you should be doing and are supposed to be doing, you would be in trouble in the first place"<br /><br />I went back to work and regained focus.Billynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573984856195685471.post-48734525430326309462009-09-19T20:14:36.306-04:002009-09-19T20:14:36.306-04:00My grandparents were married at this very church A...My grandparents were married at this very church April of 1935. When my grandmother passed they had been married 68 years. I sit here at my computer with my grandfather who is now 95 years old looking at the pictures and marveling at how beautiful it still is. Thank you for giving us this window into his past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
