St. Francis de Sales

The scaffolding at the church that I attend in Philadelphia when I'm staying with Sayers and Mr. Sayers is decorated with a wreath. I'm not sure about the whole story, but over the 3ish years that I've visited this church, the scaffolding has been a permanent fixture. It seems that the church needs substantial repairs that it cannot afford. It's very sad: it is an enormous Orthodox-influenced building (wikipedia says Byzantine Revival Style) with lovely stained glass windows and mosaics. However, it is sparsely attended, and the neighborhood is not wealthy. The church even has to rent the scaffolding, which costs tens of thousands of dollars a year (it would be more than a hundred thousand to even purchase the scaffolding).
