Update from the Provost
As we mark the 33rd year of the founding of the Brooklyn Oratory on February 11th, the Congregation is pleased to announce the reception of Mr. Tim Passow as a novice in our community after a year of discernment with us. Tim originally hails from Michigan but has spent a good deal of his life in Florida. He works in payroll and HR for a large national corporation. Tim has two children for whom he has been the primary parent since their early years. Both are living independently while attending college and working in Florida. He is a warm and genuine person and is eager to get to know members of the Oratory Parishes as both schedule and the pandemic permit. We hope you will have a chance to meet him either virtually or in person as we wait to resume in- person activities apart from Mass. Some members of the parishes have already met Tim as he is currently a catechist in our virtual confirmation program. Tim will relocate to Brooklyn and move into the Oratory Residence at 64 Middagh Street in the coming month. Please join us in welcoming Tim (soon to be “Brother Tim”) and please also keep him in your prayers as he makes this move to begin his formation as an Oratorian. Fr. Anthony

Social Justice Action Presents:
Health Care for All - A presentation by Oliver T. Fein, MD, FACP
Virtual Presentation & Discussion
The Catholic social justice tradition teaches that health care is a human right, not a privilege. Dr. Fein, a professor of clinical medicine and clinical public health at Weill Cornell Medical College, a past president of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) and chair of the NY Metro Chapter of PNHP, as exemplified by his work, shares this view. He will discuss the “how and why” a publicly–funded single payer health insurance program can deliver high quality, equitably accessible health care to all, explain how it works and why it would improve health equity. Please join us and invite family and friends interested in health care equity to participate.
Registration will allow us to contact you with the Zoom link and to share resources both before and after the presentation. It will also enable you to submit questions in advance. Questions will be taken at the event as well.
Tuesday, February 23, 7:00-8:30pm
