PARISH LIFE
Over 200 years ago, when Peter Turner and the Catholic community in Brooklyn petitioned to have the first church established, they said, “we want our children instructed in the principles of Holy Religion, we want more convenience in hearing the Word of God ourselves. In fact, we want a Church, a Pastor, and a place of Interment.”
Today, our parishes remain centers of faith, places of worship, religious education, community and service to others.
