I think you should interview Father Bernie & Father Frank. Tell them Clarissa Acevedo sent you. They have done a lot for the community of Bushwick. They provided a safe place for the youth to hang out, when I was growing up in Bushwick. They put together annual Off Broadway Plays in the church and introduced theater to the kids of Bushwick. They also had a youth group. Father Frank has been working with the youth since the 1970's. They are located at Our Lady Of Pompei on Siegel Street. Maybe this article will inspire people to take part of the church and work with the youth! That is one suggesstion for now. I have many other ideas. But this would provide an interesting story on how this parish has provided a positive enviorment for the youth!
