Bay Ridge corner co-named for historic church
Our Lady of Angels Way at the corner of 73rd Street and 4th Avenue
On Saturday, elected officials and members of the community attended a street naming ceremony in Bay Ridge. “Our Lady of Angels Way” will now be posted on the corner of 73rd Street and 4th Avenue. The co-naming celebrates one of the oldest churches in Bay Ridge, Our Lady of Angels parish (OLA), which is celebrating its 125th anniversary in the borough.
Councilmember Vincent Gentile thanked everyone for attending the ceremony, calling OLA “a place of worship that has given so much to our community here in Bay Ridge. He described OLA as a historic and vibrant Roman Catholic parish, and went on to explain how he had worked for years to make the street naming a reality.”
“I am pleased to have introduced legislation in the City Council to co-name this street,” said Gentile. “And have this bill signed into law by the mayor to recognize and celebrate Our Lady of Angels parish and their 125th anniversary.”
