This past 15th of October, 2017 to commemorate our Santa Maria Parish anniversary we celebrated our second annual Athenaeum in our parish located in the Bronx a county of New York City. Our parishioners contributed with song, dance, poetry and art pieces. A spirit of peace and joy was experienced by all and community bonds were strengthened. The event ended as usual with the recitation of a poem by our beloved Father and Founder from his book Skyblue Weeping and it was followed by light refreshments.
