OLPH School in Brooklyn is Closing
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Elementary School in Sunset Park, Brooklyn is closing in June due to financial constraints and low enrollment.
Tuition is $5,500 for the year. There are only thirteen teachers listed on the school’s website.
It’s very sad to see this news because OLPH school was open for 122 years. (See their note here)
It was at OLPH school that many Brooklynites learned, made lasting friendships and became part of an incredible community that stayed with them even when they left Brooklyn.
For many of us, OLPH was where we learned to pray and the first time we spoke with a priest. Many alumni remember Fr. McGowan. He used to tell the best stories. I found him on FB. (See video)
Current students at OLPH may attend St. Ephrem School, which is the next closest elementary school.
On Saturday, May 17th, there will be a Farewell Mass and Reception for OLPH School. Take a tour from 2:00 – 4:30 pm. Mass at 5:00 pm in the Church. Reception to follow at Notre Dame Hall (enter on 59th Street) $20 Email: [email protected]

Wheels Stolen on 10th Avenue & 82nd Street
Last Tuesday, the wheels were stolen off this vehicle on 10th Avenue & 82nd Street in Dyker Heights. It was left on milk crates.
The SUV was placed on jacks to avoid further damage as the owner awaits a wheel delivery.
This is awful. We feel terrible for the owner, who had to come out to this and spend thousands to get new tires.

Grandson of a Well-Known Bay Ridge Butcher is The Chef at The Brooklyn Firefly
If you shopped at Richard and Vinnie’s Prime Meats on 86th and 3rd Avenue or went to Short Ribs and Mambo Italiano, you know Vinnie’s Bolognese. You may have seen his grandson, Vinny at Prime Meats. (See photo in newspaper)
Now Chef Vinny is at The Brooklyn Firefly at 7003 3rd Avenue.
Vinny went to culinary school at the Natural Gourmet Institute. Upon graduation, he was a part of the original kitchen staff that opened Jean-Georges’ abcV. He’s since specialized in vegan and plant-based cuisine and co-founded a vegan sandwich shop, Renegades of Sunset (vegans loved this place).

Man Followed Woman Down the Driveway on 99th Street & 4th Avenue
Last night at 11:54 pm, a neighbor was putting their garbage outside on 99th Street and 4th Avenue (same block as Campania Restaurant).
She saw this guy across the street talking to himself, so as soon as she dropped the garage, she ran back home and closed the door shut quickly.
As she ran, this guy followed her and hung around for a minute seemingly looking for an entry before he ran away.
Another Ridgite from the area shared that the 68th Precinct came and picked up the man.
