Tuesday morning, I joined my St. Rocco Society and Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George brethren in honoring glorious San Giorgio Martire on his Feast Day at Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary and St. Stephen RC Church in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Warmly welcomed by Pastor, Rev. Msgr. Guy Massie and members of the congregation, Mass was celebrated in the small chapel left of the East Wall. As is the custom, we brought flowers (courtesy of the LaRocca family) to the church’s magnificent bust of the warrior saint originating from Testaccio in Barano d'Ischia, lit a few candles, meditated and said our prayers, including the daily orison of the Order. Tranquil and serene, our short, but gratifying visit was the perfect way to begin our day.
