Senate Resolution No. 1784

BY: Senator MYRIE

 CONGRATULATING St. John's Episcopal Church upon
 the occasion of celebrating its 200th Anniversary

 WHEREAS, Religious institutions, and the many spiritual, social, and
educational benefits they confer, play a vital role in the development
of the moral fabric of a responsible citizenry; and

 WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and this Nation to pay
tribute to those institutions and individuals who have contributed to
the ethical and spiritual values of their communities; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate St. John's Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, New York upon the
occasion of celebrating its 200th Anniversary, to be celebrated on
Sunday, May 17, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Founded in 1826 as the first integrated Episcopal parish in
Brooklyn, St. John's has long stood as a beacon of inclusion and faith
in the borough; and

 WHEREAS, Moving to the Park Slope neighborhood of Brookyln in 1869,
St. John's Episcopal Church has been hosting services in the same
building for over 150 years; and

 WHEREAS, St. John's Episcopal Church proudly maintains a strong
Caribbean legacy, with many first-generation Caribbean immigrants among
its parishioners; today, the church is a thriving, multigenerational
congregation representing diverse races, cultures, and sexual
orientations; and

 WHEREAS, Today, St. John's Episcopal Church stands on the threshold
of tomorrow, prepared to meet the challenges of the coming decades,
while retaining that spiritual resolve which has so characterized its
glorious past; and

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to take note of
enduring religious institutions and to bring such institutions to the
attention of the people of this Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate St. John's Episcopal Church upon the occasion of
celebrating its 200th Anniversary; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted
to St. John's Episcopal Church of Brooklyn, New York.
