St. Peter Catholic Academy, Bensonhurst

Again, those who write narratives for news on Channel 12 show ignorance of the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. St. Peter Catholic Academy is in Bensonhurst, not Gravesend.

The website of St. Peter Catholic Academy has a full history (linked HERE) explaining the role of this elementary school, now sponsored by three parishes: St. Mary Mary Mother of Jesus, St. Finbar, and St. Frances Cabrini. The address is 8401 23rd Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11214.

The June 15, 2022 issue of the Brooklyn Tablet has a half-page with photos of the thirteen graduates of St. Peter Catholic Academy.

Holy Innocents, Beverly Road

This blog of mine is incomplete, as I have traveled to a mere 95% of Brooklyn's Catholic parishes and photographed them for posts. Today, December 28, 2017, the feast of the Holy Innocents, I could not find the parish of the Holy Innocents on this blog.
---
Brooklynites easily know where Beverly Road is, as it is a local station on the Brighton Line, currently served by the Q train. Holy Innocents church stands on the southeast corner of Beverly Road and East 17th Street, a few blocks east of the subway. The neighborhood is well-kept, picturesque.

The parish website is linked HERE. Masses and baptisms are in English, Spanish, and Creole.
