October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and tonight we’ll meet a survivor who says her church helped her get through her diagnosis and treatment. Allison Attong-Rogers has been a parishioner at St. Clare Church for nearly 40 years. She calls the Rosedale parish her source of hope.
Church also became a source of hope for one catholic couple. Sixto and Maria Torres said when they arrived in the U.S. from Ecuador they had strayed from their faith, but when they started experiencing problems, they recommitted themselves to God and each other.
A special Mass was celebrated by Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan after a Brooklyn church turned 175-years old this week. The Mass was celebrated on Sunday, Oct. 20, at St Patrick’s in Bay Ridge to commemorate this milestone anniversary.
Election day is less than two weeks away and we are preparing with prayer. During each newscast before election day, a different priest in the diocese of Brooklyn will lead us in prayer.
