Night Out at the Museum
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio and the
Alive in Hope Foundation hosted hosted a reception
on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Museum of the City of
New York in conjunction with its special exhibit,
Catholics in New York, 1808-1946.
Bishop
DiMarzio thanked those in attendance for their
support of Catholic schools and diocesan ministries.
Patrick McNamara, assistant diocesan archivist,
spoke about the diverse ethnic backgrounds of
Catholics in New York and said the exhibit was an
excellent display of the unity of faith despite
those differences.
Thomas Flood, Executive Director
of the Alive in Hope Foundation, said that the
museum has played host through the exhibit to
several diocesan audiences. Teachers and principals
attended workshops there. Last weekend, St. John’s University
held a jubilee celebration for its School of
Education.
