Monsignor Cassato is new vicar for Catholic schools
Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio announced the appointment Thursday of Monsignor David Cassato, pastor of St. Athanasius-St. Dominic Church in Bensonhurst, as the new vicar for Catholic Schools.
Cassato will also serve on the member board of all Catholic academies in Brooklyn and Queens, where he will provide guidance to pastors of those academies and work to engage donors in supporting the mission of Catholic education through Futures in Education scholarships.
“Catholic schools are our most beautiful and prized gems, as teaching the faith to our children is critical,” said Cassato. “We have so much to offer children of all backgrounds, but especially immigrant children, who we have been educating for years. Diversity is in our DNA here in the diocese, and our students leave our Catholic schools with the important values we hold dear, a foundation for success long after they graduate.
