St. A’s Community Prayed – GoFundMe Info
The St. Athanasius Community in Brooklyn sticks together. Early today, the cross at St. A’s was vandalized/damaged.
Tonight parishioners and friends gathered outside St. A’s. Together, they lit candles, prayed the rosary and in traditional Catholic-style called on all the saints they could name. One of the parishioners said, “We don’t hate anyone. We love everyone.”
Finally they sang “Let There Be Peace on Earth.” (See video here)
A GoFundMe was established to pay for the damage done at St. Athanasius. (See here)
I believe I saw Assemblyman Peter Abbate in the video. Who woke him up?
St. Dominic’s sign was brought to St. A’s and laid on the ground. The sign said to Love your God with your mind, heart and soul. And love your neighbor as yourself.” Under that there was the word love in 40 different languages. “We all speak the same language of love.” Last Friday someone cut the banner, pulled it off the wall and and threw it over the wall.

St. Athanasius Cross and American Flag Burned. Police Classified This as a Hate Crime.
The pastor of St. Athanasius, Msgr. Cassato announced that the outdoor wooden cross was vandalized.
The American flag was also burnt.
The church announced this afternoon that everyone was gathering at the church at 7:30 pm. (Update: See here)
Tonight at 7:30 pm, there will be a prayer service on the corner of 61st Street and Bay Parkway because Msgr. Cassato declared: Hate Can’t Win. (See here)
Parishioners at. St. Anthanasius were very angry, but Msgr. Cassato spoke to them about forgiveness!
While it’s easy to get upset, understand that this act of vandalism is by someone whose angry or very bored and wasn’t thinking. The pandemic has done strange things to people.
Msgr. Cassato asked: Where are our Political Leaders? Andrew Gounardes is campaigning with Eric Adams, so he’s too busy to notice and probably won’t do anything if he knew. Gounardes is not responsive to the community unless their is a camera around.
Msgr. Cassato asked: Where’s the media? (LOL! Msgr. Cassato doesn’t know that he has to write the press release and privide the photos – there isn’t anyone coming to take pics. Remember when journalists did their jobs?)
During the pandemic, Msgr, Cassato reached out to Brooklyn through videos and social media. He’s very connected to the people and the community. This past year he was named the vicar of Catholic Schools. (See here)
On Facebook, Msgr. Cassato asked everyone to share this story and let people know what is going on.
He wrote: “This exhibition of violence and religious hatred is very disturbing. This is definitely an offensive act not only to our Parish but to the Catholic Church! This is unacceptable!
On Saturday, May 15, 2021, the news said the police have classified this as a hate crime.

Vaccinated People Don’t Need a Mask Indoors or Outdoors – CDC and Biden
They should be clear with the information:
Fully vaccinated people will also still need to wear masks on airplanes, buses, trains and other public transportation, she said.
And yes, you have to wear one in a store if the store has a sign that says you do. Why? Because the store belongs to someone who is trying to do business safely. Be respectful and don’t give them a hard time.
Supposedly you get it a lot less severe.
