You are invited to join the Citizens Emergency Committee to Preserve Preservation (CECPP) for an early Bastille Day celebration, inspired by the feisty Franco-Americans leading the charge to save the Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Chelsea, a center for New York’s French-speaking community and a beacon of racial tolerance and equality for over 160 years. Despite this powerful history, glorious architecture and profound sense of place, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has refused to even hold a public hearing on St. Vincent de Paul. The church faces imminent closure by the Catholic Archdiocese.
