During the procession, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger and the faithful offered petitions and sung "We Three Kings," "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," and "The First Noel."
In next week’s @evangelistalb, learn all about this Jesus statue and his Sacred Heart, that, for as long as anyone can remember, resided at Vincentian Institute and then moved to Bishop Maginn High School. It has now found a new home in the entranceway at St. Thomas the Apostle School in Delmar. @albanydiocese @cc_albany @csjalbany @rcdaschools @rcdaym @tom_rcda
Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger of the Diocese of Albany met with sexual abuse survivor Stephen Mittler at Corpus Christi Church in Round Lake on Sunday, July 31, before the 11 a.m. Mass.
