Hart Island Remembrance Liturgy, Thursday, May 9th

 

Dear EBHF Members,

One of our EBHF presenters, Tom McCarthy has been spearheading the annual Potter's Field Remembrance liturgy. He has informed the EBHF that there are about two dozen seats available. In its more than three decades, the annual observance -- initiated by City Island's Catholic parish -- has always operated open to anyone wanting to enter into the spirit of the occasion, thus drawing widely diverse participants. The 2024 memorial will continue that tradition. This year the pastor of City Island's Episcopal Church and the retiring pastor of the islands Methodist Church will participate in the memorial service, If you would like to participate please email or call Tom McCarthy at correctionhistory@gmail.com or 347-468-0124.

Thank you,

Richard F. Vitacco
