Bishop Brennan Joins St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy to Celebrate Catholic Schools Week
Bishop Robert Brennan, Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, which encompasses Queens, celebrated Mass this morning at St. Andrew Avellino Roman Catholic Church alongside St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy students. Bishop Brennan blessed the 8th-grade students during the Mass and presented them with their class rings.
In recognition of Catholic Schools Week, Bishop Brennan visited the school after Mass. He blessed the new STEM lab, art room, and third- and fourth-grade classrooms and spoke with the students and faculty about the school.
“Catholic Schools Week celebrates the connection between our faith and our education, allowing me to see the talents God has blessed our students with. For almost 100 years, this school has been central to the development of Catholic-educated community members, and we are grateful to see the school continuing its mission,” said Bishop Brennan.
“This morning, we had a fantastic visit from Bishop Brennan. Having the bishop here today was special because my eighth graders were getting their school rings. It was a great blessing ceremony, as was the blessing of our new classrooms,” said Debora Hanna, Principal of St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy.
Catholic Schools Week, sponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association, starts on Sunday, January 26, and continues through Saturday, February 1. This year’s celebration theme is “Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.”
St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy was founded in September 1925 and will celebrate its centennial anniversary later this year.
