At that time, the church was still known as Holy Ghost.Farewell Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180853277058922602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566721718695243721.post-42722326895770520032021-09-21T09:11:24.881-07:002021-09-21T09:11:24.881-07:00Dave, I have the jubilee journal of the Church of ...Dave, I have the jubilee journal of the Church of the Holy Ghost, 1921 to 1946, with marvelous photos of the interior and of over 100 parishioners serving in the armed forces.

The demographics keep changing, as families keep moving in or out. Currently, a strong influence in Borough Park is the high birthrate of Bobov Orthodox.

And I'd like to know, does the church have many congregants in the area? I'm asking because I saw the church on July 12, when I visited America from Israel, where I live, and I was delighted to see that the majority population of Borough Park is open-minded enough to tolerate a church in the neighborhood, in stark contrast to their compatriots over here!<br /> DaveDave Strasburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359256991804408707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566721718695243721.post-19093134654760039312019-01-22T20:23:08.979-08:002019-01-22T20:23:08.979-08:00I can’t believe the school closed!

I have fond memories of all the sisters that taught me Love for the Lord, respect & honesty. I learned to pray in English thanks to all of them. The years I assisted were from 1980-1986. So I imagine all the Sisters are long gone. During that time Sister Sevillo was our Principal & Father Greene was our Parishiner. Good times.
