Borough President Vito Fossella Marks 100th Anniversary Of Our Lady Of Good Counsel School

Borough President Vito Fossella joined Cardinal Timothy F. Dolan, the archbishop of New York, in a visit to Our Lady of Good Counsel School in Tompkinsville, to mark its 100th anniversary earlier this month.

The visit began with a mass delivered by Cardinal Dolan. As a special touch, the school’s choir sang hymns throughout his sermon.

A tour of the school followed with two eighth-grade students escorting Cardinal Dolan and Borough President Fossella through the hallways and classrooms, where they met with the staff and students.
At the end of the tour, a lunch -- which included Irish soda bread and corned beef -- was served.

We thank Principal Tara Hynes for inviting us to the centennial celebration of Our Lady of Good Counsel School.
