A group of parishioners from St. Frances de Chantal Church independently coordinated a farewell celebration for a beloved priest who served their parish in recent years. The event, held at the Redwood Club in Throggs Neck on Wednesday, October 28, bade farewell to Fr. Susai Antony, who will be returning to his native India. The celebration was organized by The Knights of Columbus Council 306 and the St. Frances de Chantal Holy Name Society, and the food was cooked by Sean Connolly.
