SARATOGA SPRINGS — The New York Landmarks Conservancy has announced 18 Sacred Sites Grants totaling $271,250 awarded to historic religious properties throughout New York State, including $21,000 to St. Peter’s Church in Saratoga Springs to help fund slate roof replacement and architectural services for the project.
The main nave of the Gothic-revival St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church was constructed in 1852, though the parish dates to 1834. The congregation reaches about 3,250 people outside of its membership with activities such as the Diocesan Academy, the St. Peter's Needy Association and community closet, Biketoga, a community garden, the emergency shelter effort Code Blue, AA meetings, youth ministries, concerts, performances, and community dinners.
The Sacred Sites Program provides congregations with matching grants for planning and implementing exterior restoration projects, along with technical assistance, and workshops. Since 1986, the program has pledged 1,588 grants totaling over $15.2 million to 836 religious institutions statewide.
The New York Landmarks Conservancy, a private non-profit organization, has led the effort to preserve and protect New York City’s architectural legacy for nearly 50 years. Since its founding, the Conservancy has loaned and granted more than $54 million, which has leveraged more than $1 billion in 1,850 restoration projects throughout New York.
