Save the Senior Center at Our Lady of Pompeii Church

After learning on October 23 that the pastor of Our Lady of Pompeii Church at 25 Carmine Street doesn’t intend to renew the lease of its longstanding senior center, I helped spearhead a letter to Cardinal Timothy Dolan seeking intervention by the Archdiocese. I was joined by Congressman Jerry Nadler, Borough President Gale Brewer, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Assembly Member Deborah Glick and Council Members Corey Johnson and Margaret Chin. I have personally urged the pastor to negotiate with Greenwich House, the not-for-profit organization which operates the senior center. Please join me and my colleagues in government, Greenwich House and seniors at a rally and press conference this coming Monday, November 3 at 12:30 p.m. outside the church on the corner of Carmine and Bleecker Streets. We must keep this vital institution for our vulnerable seniors in its home. Please see our letter to Cardinal Dolan below and a recent news clip on the issue here.
