About 300 parishioners of the century-old Our Lady of Refuge Church in Flatbush raised $7,500 to pay for the gigantic fan. Their names will be commemorated on its 10 stainless steel blades.
Parishioners hope the fan - whatever the name of the manufacturer - will help bring down temperatures in the house of worship that sometimes reach into the 90s.
A spokesman for the Lexington, Ky.-based fan company says they have installed their machines in about 50 churches.
