St Joseph Convent on Lafayette Street

Item

Description

The Student Brothers who had lived at 110 Academy Street moved into a vacant convent opposite St. Joseph's Church on Lafayette Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. Brother Sean Sammon recalls: "We then moved to the convent on Lafayette Street, opposite Saint Joseph's national Polish Church. Father Stanley Pieterzak (I'm not sure of the spelling) was the pastor. That first community was made up of John Bosco, Jack Kelly, Timothy Brady, Jim Devine, Barry Keaveny, Larry Gordon, Joe Lederer, and me." - Bro Sean Sammon
