Pete Seeger sang some songs for us. Can you send an email?

Hello All! Recently Newburgh's Hip Hop group, the Nu-Poets held a concert to help Father Bill keep Saint Mary's Church in Newburgh, NY. To my surprise, Pete Seeger showed up and played some tunes with the Nu-Poets!

If you would please email the POPE at [e-mail] with the message "Keep Saint Mary's open in Newburgh, NY", I would greatly appreciate it.

Wholly spirit

In 1996, when the Rev. William Scafidi moved to Newburgh, he might as well have landed on another planet.

The priest had been transplanted from his work in the seat of Catholic power in the United States, the elegant and soaring St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, to the Church of St. Mary in Newburgh, a ragged, red-brick building that, at the time, drew only about 80 parishioners per Sunday.

St. Mary sat humbly on South Street, a predominantly black neighborhood ranked for years as one of New York's poorest and most violent pockets.

Days before his transfer, Scafidi had rubbed shoulders with theologians, religious scholars and men who had the ears of governors and presidents. Now, he would make his home on a block where few residents finished high school and nearly none belonged to his church.
