St. Vincent de Paul
St.Vincent is still perched over the door on 23rd street. He has witnessed a lot. On September 20, 1952 he witnessed the wedding of Edith Piaf, with Marlena Dietrich as her maid of honor. President Charles de Gaulle of France attend re-dedication of the World War I memorial after World War II when the names of those who died in the second war were added to the names of the members of the Lafayette Squadron and other Americans who had died fighting for France. He witnessed black French speaking Catholics treated with respect when that was not the norm in other R.C. churches in the city.
Hopefully they will blindfold him before he is pushed from his perch.
