Bishop Robert Brennan joined St. Ephrem Parish in Dyker Heights for a special Mass of thanksgiving as they celebrated 100 years of service this past Sunday.
The church had kicked off their anniversary year last October after it was delayed due to the pandemic.
Despite the setback, Bishop Brennan recognized the remarkable milestone and noted how the parish has lived up to the name of their patron saint throughout the past century.
St. Ephrem Parish was founded in 1921 and has since educated tens of thousands of students and participated in countless charitable events and food donations.
