After closing 12 years ago, dodging demolition, and undergoing a $15 million renovation St. Brigid’s church reopened on Sunday with a ceremony that drew Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan and his predecessor, Cardinal Edward M. Egan. As previously reported, the parish, having merged with St. Emeric’s, will now be known as St. Brigid’s, St. Emeric’s Church.
Last week, days before the reopening, Michael Doyle, the architect who led the restoration over the course of nearly four and a half years, gave The Local a tour of the revitalized structure on Avenue B.
