"St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village
is the oldest Catholic church in Manhattan. Sitting on Sixth Avenue, St.
Joseph's was protected by Bishop 'Dagger' John Hughes during the
anti-Catholic threats of 19th-century New York City and frequented by
Dorothy Day.
"History aside, today the parish boasts
a thriving community, but many of its loyal parishioners are
particularly vulnerable to COVID-19.
"So St. Joseph’s has organized a response."
In a recent commentary, Father Patrick Briscoe, O.P., reflected on the response of St. Joseph's young parishioners.
