BELOVED MIDTOWN CHURCH AILS

December 21, 2008 --

The legendary Holy Cross Roman Catholic church - a refuge for saints and sinners in the shadow of the Port Authority Bus Terminal - needs your help this holiday season. Already facing

staggering repair bills for a crumbling facade and walls, Holy Cross was devastated when a fire tore through its rectory. Parish pastor the Rev. Peter Colapietro is counting on your generosity to keep the 156-year-old church open to serve those in need.
