Auxiliary Bishop Octavio Cisneros and Msgr. Joseph Nagle, director of the diocesan Propagation of the Faith Office, pose with representatives of all the schools that were honored on Mission Sunday at a Mass at St. James Cathedral-Basilica, Downtown Brooklyn. St. Joseph Catholic Academy, Astoria, was cited for donating the most funds for the missions of all the schools in Brooklyn and Queens. The second highest amount was from St. Bernadette School, Dyker Heights.
