Father Thomas Vassalotti’s love of classical music permeates the three churches in the Divine Mercy Parish of Williamsburg: St. Cecilia Church, St. Francis of Paola Church, and St. Nicholas.

Grossman Family, Father Vassalotti, Bring Classical Back to Brooklyn
The classical music performance Oct. 24, at St. Francis of Paola Church was an opportunity for the Grossman family to perform publicly since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancelation of live musical performances in New York City. The event also was a reunion for Eric Grossman and parish pastor Father Thomas Vassalotti — they attended the Juilliard School together in the 1980s.
