A gathering is planned for Sat., Oct. 27th at St. Ann’s Church, Bronx, at which the morning’s agenda will be devoted to listening to youth talk about their schools. The planning group hopes that youth, clergy, parents, and educators will attend this gathering. See the flyer on the Parish Hall bulletin board. 1. Choir starts promptly at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays. |
