Celebrating Over 65 Years of Quality Catholic Education in Astoria, Queens
On Sept. 11, 2017 at 8:00am the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy community gathered for a prayer service for peace as we remembered the events of September 11, 2001. We gathered to remember the many people who died that day in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
“Put on the new self, which is being renewed for knowledge in the image of its Creator.” | Colossians 3:9-10
