Bishop Robert Brennan helped a Queens Catholic academy celebrate 100 years of an excellent education.
He celebrated a Mass for the 100th anniversary of St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy.
The Flushing school officially opened its doors on Sept. 25, 1925 under the guidance of the Dominican Sisters of Peace.
At the time, there were eight classrooms and 250 children enrolled.
During the anniversary celebration, current students and alumni were allowed to wander the halls of St. Andrew’s after Mass – going through memorabilia and reminiscing about their time in the classroom.
