Congratulations to Matteo, our 6th grader, who is the Diocesan champion in this year’s CYO Boys Bantam Division Free-Throw Shooting Tournament.

The free-throw tournament was held during the February winter recess. For the competition Finals, students from three schools emerged, including St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy’s player Matteo. Matteo and the other two students tied in the first round at 15 baskets each. In round two, Matteo and one other student advanced, both shooting 3 out of 5 free throws; and in the final round, Matteo sunk all 5 free throws to win the competition.

Enjoy a wonderful treat with our Virtual Christmas Concert.  Our students worked very hard to prepare some delightful music that will surely put you in the Christmas spirit!

 

 

Congratulations to and God Bless our 8th Grade students who received sacrament of Confirmation today. The Most Reverend Paul Sanchez, Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn, was the Main Celebrant at the Mass.

BROOKLYN AND QUEENS CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES TO CONTINUE IN-PERSON LEARNING

Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for Brooklyn and Queens, has announced that all 69 schools and academies will remain open and continue to provide in-person learning, in spite of the decision made to close New York City public schools indefinitely starting tomorrow.

“I am frustrated that the Mayor’s announcement was made as Catholic schools and academies throughout Brooklyn and Queens were dismissing our students. I want to make it clear to parents, teachers, staff, and students that the Mayor’s announcement only pertains to New York City public schools, and our schools will be open tomorrow. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that our school community remains safe for everyone, and we will continue to ensure strict compliance with all health and safety protocols,” said Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, Superintendent of Catholic Schools ~ Office of Support Services.

Catholic schools in the Diocese in Brooklyn and Queens have provided safe, five days a week in-person learning since beginning this school year, as scheduled, on September 9. The Superintendent, along with the Superintendent of the Archdiocese of New York, has received confirmation from the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Non-Public Schools that they will maintain entitled services for Catholic school students, including school nurses, transportation, and food.

         Catholic Academies and Parish Schools within the Diocese of Brooklyn have successfully operated for more than two months due to the strict adherence to the important “Core Four” actions to prevent COVID-19 transmission, including maintaining physical distance, wearing a face covering, practicing healthy hand hygiene, and staying home if sick. The schools and academies of the Diocese of Brooklyn continue to work with New York State and City Department of Health officials on a regular basis to maintain the safety of all of our students, faculty, and staff.
