7th -10th Graders & Older Parish Teens!
Thank the Heroes
The Oratory Parishes invite teens and pre-teens to a very special on-line event.

Learn about and thank the many unseen healthcare heroes who have risked their own lives to save others during the pandemic.

You’ll hear from Dr. Charlotte Austin a young doctor who grew up in Brooklyn. Dr. Austin works as a General Surgery Resident in New Jersey, and in a hospital especially hard hit by the pandemic.

Then, use your creative-side to express your thanks on a digital message board. We’ll share messages with Brooklyn Hospital and Newark Beth Israel where Dr. Austin works. Register any time prior to the event at:

Friday, Jan. 29th 4-to-5PM
Stewardship
Please remember, if you are able, to keep supporting our parishes as we try to maintain staff, clergy and operations during this time.
