A Korean Phoenix rises from German ashes.

This is really good and exciting news that escaped my notice last October: the formerly defunct parish of St. John the Baptist de la Salle in Stapleton  has been reborn as a Korean Catholic church. As far as I can tell from their website, they are up and running. Congratulations to them! As wonderful as this news is, it is so sad that the Church's only "strategy" seems to be to rely on immigrant priests and immigrant congregations to replace our own apostate flocks and reinforce our own miniscule vocations. That is the strategy of passive incompetents.


An interesting reflection on some St. John history here.

Also, this site says that St. John was being used by a Protestant congregation as recently as 2010. WHO was responsible for allowing that kind of sacrilege to occur??

Hello, my name is Elisabeth R. I will be visiting Staten Island in September, on the northern western end of the island. Can you suggest a good parish to go to Mass? I'd like to go to both Sunday and weekday Mass. Thank you!
