The Cathedral Club of Brooklyn celebrated 126 years of faith and service in the Diocese of Brooklyn Feb. 5 with its annual anniversary dinner at El Caribe restaurant in Mill Basin, Brooklyn.
The Catholic lay organization promotes the Catholic faith and raises funds to provide scholarships for students attending Catholic high schools in the diocese.
Club President Harry D’Onofrio, a parishioner at Our Lady of Angels in Bay Ridge, addressed attendees and emphasized the importance of faith in today’s world.
“I think a lot of the trouble in the world is because people are lacking something,” D’Onofrio said. “I don’t care, ‘Oh, I’m not going to church’ — you know what — you need to believe in something. You’ve got to have faith. You’ve got to be centered. Without some ground or something to root you somewhere, you’re going to go astray.”
