Currents News, New York’s nightly Catholic television newscast, will premiere a half-hour special, “Pulse of the Parish,” airing, Friday, June 18, 2025, at 7 p.m. EST on NET-TV.
This special profiles the people who are the heartbeat of the Diocese of Brooklyn– the pulse of their parish. Anchor Christine Persichette introduces viewers to the men and women who are on a mission to share their faith– parishioners who offer a helping hand both in the church and in the community.
Featured parishioners include:
- Michael Carestia, facilities manager at the Shrine Church of St. Bernadette and its school in Dyker Heights. Michael is present everyday, just as he was years ago when he attended the school as a student.
- Marge Migliaccio, a dedicated volunteer at Transfiguration – St. Stanislaus Kostka in Maspeth. Though officially the Saturday receptionist, she can be found at the church on most days, always ready to serve.
- Catherina Cassiliano, a young parishioner at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Bensonhurst, who is helping to bring other young people back to the church. She was handpicked by the pastor to serve as the director of OLG camp.
