During Sunday Mass on Sept. 7, St. Athanasius-St. Dominic Parish in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, participated in Stand-Up Sunday, an interfaith initiative addressing the rising attacks on places of worship nationwide.
Father Michael Lynch, the parish pastor and Vicar for Ecumenical Affairs and Interreligious Activities for the Diocese of Brooklyn, delivered a homily urging Catholics to oppose bigotry.
He reminded the congregation of Jesus’ teaching to “love one another,” emphasizing the call to stand united against all forms of hate.
