For, situated at the junction of S. 3d St., Hewes St. and Union Ave., and one of the oldest churches in Williamsburg to hold its ground, it has breasted the tide of changing populations by holding services in three languages: English, Russian and Spanish, And today it celebrates its 89th anniversary."
