St Marys Church Renovation Brightens Lower East Side

The Church of Saint Mary at Grand and Ridge streets, oldest after St. Patrick and St. Paul, was restored by Rev. Edward A. Giblin and assistants. They scrubbed eighty year old windows, removed a tall pipe organ, and installed an electric organ. Stained glass from Munich now fills the church with light, scenes include Patrick and Bridget, the Crucifixion, the Good Shepherd, and the Resurrection. The project revived the interior, with new lighting, decor, and a Waldorf inspired color scheme, while the congregation has dwindled from thirty thousand to 359.
