Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Business as usual for the Catholic Church in NYC. The Capuchin Monastery attached to the Church of St.John the Baptist has closed. It will be replaced by a shopping mall.
The Monastery was built in 1974 designed by a unknown architect in the Brutalist style.
The statue of Christ was the first thing and last thing seen by countless conmuters on their daily commute going through Penn Station across the street. The figure of Christ has been removed but the interesting bronze and stained glass background remains in place. Hopefully it will be purchased by an enterprising salvage company and see a new life somewhere.
If you were one of the Donors who helped to pay for the monastery please contact the Archdiocese. I am sure they will be happy to reimburse you from the ginormus profit they are making on this deal.
But don't worry the giant profit goes to a worthy cause, the Archbishops high security underground bunker like garage behind St. Patricks has begun so everything is OK.
