To God the glory: Presentation-Sacred Heart Parish is the FIRST in the Archdiocese of New York to establish units of the Seven Sisters Apostolate (www.sevensistersapostolate.org) and its male equivalent, the Fasting Brothers. Dozens of local Catholics have committed to pray or fast for specific priests (these teams also may pray for bishops). The anchoresses of the local Seven Sisters teams are C. Parrinello, L. Cranston, A. Killian and the anchor of the Fasting Brothers is Dcn. Timothy Dean. Our anchor and anchoresses are the contact people for anyone interested in joining these apostolates.
