Picture Of the Day: St. Agnes From Afar

...and there are stained glass portraits of the apostles EXCEPT for St. James (the Lesser).
I took the tour of the church years ago....
Need to start a fund to for a St. James the Lesser window....
They do have open house tours. There is beautiful stain glass, from Germany. And it was built to be the seat of the Brooklyn Catholic Church.
The building's presence in the landscape is always impressive. It is sad to think that a rezoning that would allow tall buildings along the canal would destroy these views.
That is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen of St. Agnes in our landscape.
Well, thank you Margaret.
Proud to have been one of the many families who helped to build St. Agnes. Part of our family donated the Mule Teams & Labor that carried the stones to the location. Another part of the family donated time and experience in setting said stones.
I'm the only one left - but still proud to be here in C.G.
Thank you for the beautiful picture.
