With help from the New York Giants, St. Philip Neri School’s first spelling bowl was a huge success.

Hakeem Nicks, former Giants player, was a judge and spoke with The Good Newsroom about the importance of academics.

Initiated as a fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project, the club has evolved significantly over the past decade.

“The scapular has been for us our bandage,” Bishop Gerardo Colacicco said in his homily.

At an elaborate ceremony on August 15, 1858, Archbishop John Hughes blessed the cornerstone of the new St. Patrick's Cathedral.
