Historic north St. Louis church receives a $500K grant to revive its stained glass windows
St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church’s stained glass windows desperately need repair. The church recently received a $500,000 grant to help restore, clean, re-lead and reseal the large, multipaned structures.
The predominantly African American Catholic church in north St. Louis at Grand and Cook avenues was one of 30 Black churches nationwide awarded funding from a $8.5 million grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation through its African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.
The Black church is a living testimony to the achievements of the Black community, and preserving its history and culture is critically important to understanding American history, said Brent Leggs, executive director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
