An important update to our post of August 27: The Fate of the Churches around Penn Station (and the Port Authority Bus Terminal) III. St. John the Baptist church has now been closed.
St. John the Baptist will remain temporarily closed “until further notice” as your safety is considered by the Diocese. Further Details to come.
