St. Patrick's Cathedral on 5th Avenue is under renovation. That doesn't mean your spiritual needs won't be met. You can still come in and find comfort in the sanctuary. And of course, follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
@digitalrn Here is what it says on their website:
"Due to a need for essential structural and safety repairs, the lower façade of the Cathedral has been covered with scaffolding.
The plan for the full restoration of St. Patrick’s Cathedral includes work on the exterior and interior of the Cathedral, as well as its stained glass windows. This work is not cosmetic, but a necessary repair that will ensure that the Cathedral endures for future generations.
Over the next three years, we will be leading an extraordinary effort to raise approximately $50 million to complete the restoration of the Cathedral building. Upon its completion, there will be remaining work on the Cathedral Campus. However, at this juncture, our priority is St. Patrick’s Cathedral."
I don't know if the actual work will take 3 years or if that is just for the fund raising.
