Catholic Charities Holy Thursday Housing Blessing Event, The Bronx

2 other phtotographers and myself were recently tasked with covering a very special event for the Catholic Charities of NY, being Holy Thursday there was a special appearance by Cardinal Timothy Dolan to bless their newest affordable housing project (Second Farms in The Bronx, which was absolutely stunning!), as well as a team of volunteers handing out nutrition assistance boxes and Easter baskets for the kids. Local news teams and well as other media coverage were present well.
