From the Archives: Redemptorist Mission at St. Cecilia’s, 1929

In May 1929, the Redemptorist Fathers conducted a four-week mission at St. Cecilia’s in Kearny. The mission included daily Masses with homilies preached by the Redemptorist Fathers, along with communal recitation of the Rosary. The first week was dedicated to married men, the second to single men, the third to married women, and the final week to single women.
