The link to Globe Information Locators is now working.
They are located at the bottom of most pages.
Thank you for your patience.
The following information was provided
by our friends from Our Lady of Loretto.
On October 20, 2007 a meeting was held at Our Lady of Loretto.
Bishop DiMarzio was our guest speaker to discuss the future of our beloved church.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has decided to combine
Our Lady of Loretto with Presentation.
1677 Saint Marks Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11233
(718) 345-2604
The Financial Committees of both parishes will have several meetings in the coming months.
Bishop DiMarzio will decided which church makes the most sense to remain open.
Our Lady of Loretto has Don Bosco center and the rental properties as an advantage.
However, Presentation church is self sufficient with enough parishioners to its advantage, putting Our Lady of Loretto in jeopardy.
We cannot let them close our church without putting up a fight.
This is our church. Our family and past generations put so much into our church that we must not let our church die in vain.
We ask that you help save our beloved church by contacting Bishop DiMarzio and show your support to save Our Lady of Loretto
Please write to:
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio
310 Prospect Park West
Brooklyn, NY 11215
Tel: (718) 965-7300

Your cooperation and contribution to Our Lady of Loretto is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Donny Mondelli
The Memorial Mass on June 24, 2007 was very successful.
Approximately 200 of our fellow parishioners attended the mass.
The Church is showing signs of deterioration and neglect.
Thanks to your contributions and generosity the funds raised will
help preserve Our Lady of Loretto.
On behalf of Our Lady of Loretto and all parishioners, we thank you.
