Some Serious Business At A Church Festival
June 14, 2012
Maspeth, N.Y. .. The parish festival Holy Cross R.C. Church of Maspeth, N.Y .holds every June had something extra to celebrate this year -- the 100th anniversary of the Church.
Conducted on the parish property itself, the singing and dancing and the rest of the merriment was extra special in view of the centennial spirit that prevailed.
But there was also some serious business to take care of by making available the opportunity, for those who were not yet registered to vote in next November’s elections, to complete the necessary paperwork while the festivities were going on.
Shown in the photo above is the pastor of Holy Cross Church, Msgr. Peter Zendzian (left) who welcomed the Voter Registration team from the Polish American Congress, Frank Milewski (center) and John Czaplinski.
The Catholic Bishops have become concerned about what they recognize as an increasing threat to religious freedom from government intrusion, according to Milewski. “Their church members are starting to understand that the right to vote is not only a privilege but also a duty,” he said.
