I was born and raised in Greenpoint, a member of St. Cecilia’s parish.I always went to St.Stan’s during Lent…because they had an early Mass and I could get back home,have breakfast and be on time for school….St. Cecilia’s !! I’d meet a friend from Humboldt St there each morning. ….BUT…I have been looking for information on Bishop O’Shea, who is my mother’s 2nd cousin.We still have family in Deep River,CT who knew him and kept track of him while he served in China.I never met him or the Deep River O’Shea family until I decided to look them up about 10 years ago.My mother’s father was younger than his Deep River brother who came to the U.S. well before him and they had a different mother…so they were in infrequent contact..I always heard about John O’Shea and when I saw he ordained you…a fellow Greenpointer I couldn’t believe it.
I am a member of St. Mary’s Parish in Ridgefield,CT (we live close by in South Salem,NY) and learned that Bishop O’Shea lived on Old West Mt. Rd. in Ridgefield for a while before returning to PA. Hope this isn’t too much information, but it is an example of six degrees of separation……Congratulations on your 50th.I just had my college 50th and it is an awesome milestone…Bernadette Kivlin Langenstein (Hausman St/Greenpoint ) now: 7 Twin Lakes Rd.,So.Salem,NY10590

Five decades for both of us!!!!!!! Can’t believe a web site has reunited us.
Almost fifty years ago, you as a rookie priest and me as a recent grad from Kanty and a Niagara grad were on our way.
You gaciously spent several days with us as newlyweds way out on the east end of LongIsland.
fast forward and now you are in your 50th year…. And we are celebrating our 45 th year of marriage.
A lot balder and grayer…. Three grown children… A retired Phd in education after 35 years in the classroom and so much more.
Living in Tampa……. where WE would LOVE to reunite with you if at all possible… Any time and if in any way we could be of help to make this happen.
Large home…beach…golf course….pool… Etc
Still share our bedroom with the statue of “Our Lady” that you gifted us with way back when.
Please get back to me with any thoughts you might have regarding any sort of reunion.

Ed, Congratulations! I know this is a little late. You’re looking very well in your photo. Hey, I told my children how Father Ed taught us to eat soup. When you get near the bottom of the bowl, you tip the bowl away from you, place your spoon at the bottom, and sweep it away from you to get the last spoonfuls of soup. (Did I remember that correctly?) Visit http://www.kantyalumni.com and if you can, it would be great to see you in Erie on Sept 15-18 for the 2011 Reunion. We are going to open it up to former Priests, Faculty, Coaches, Staff, and Friends of Kanty. Take care, Father Ed. Thank you for everything… not just the soup technique! — Mike Trott (G77)
