Apparently, the Archdiocese of New York chose to save the windows in St. Joseph's church, Bathgate Avenue, so they were stored somewhere to await a buyer. More than a dozen were sold to Mary Immculate parish on Brown's Lane in Bellport, Suffolk County. I will try posting some images below. Because posting too many photos on a single page can lead to editing complications, I must use several pages.
This is an attempt to index references to The Bronx in "The Archdiocese of New York: the Bicentennial History," a marvelous 624-page book written by Msgr. Thomas J. Shelley. The 2007 book may still be available on Amazon or other book dealers. Use the alphabetic list of labels to the right or the search box at top left. The blog format places new posts at the top, but I also edit old posts with new photos from my travels around The Bronx.
