Brooklyn Churches receive Sacred Sites Grants for repair projects
Two Brooklyn churches are among the 22 historic religious properties around New York State awarded Sacred Sites Grants from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. The grants total over $300,000.
Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn is receiving a Sacred Sites Grant of $10,000 for brownstone façade and roof restoration at parish house wing, and the Bedford Central Presbyterian Church receives a Robert W. Wilson Sacred Sites Challenge Grant of $50,000 for roof replacement and tower masonry restoration.
“Religious institutions anchor their communities,” said Peg Breen, President of The New York Landmarks Conservancy. “They remind us of our history and provide vital social service and cultural programs today.”
