The intersection of Bay
Parkway and 60th Street got
a new name this weekend to
celebrate the memory of the
beloved Bishop Kearney High
School, an all-girls Roman
Catholic School that educated
thousands of south Brooklyn
women between 1961 and 2019.
Dozens of former students
and staff, including Sister
Helen Kearney, president of
the Sisters of St. Joseph and
niece of Bishop Raymond
Kearney, for whom the school
was named, gathered on Oct.
16 to declare the intersection
“Bishop Kearney Way.”
When the school announced
that it would be closing
in the summer of 2019 after
years of waning attendance
and fi nancial struggles, the
school’s enthusiastic alumnae
stood true to their motto,
“Once a Kearney girl, always
a Kearney girl,” and rallied
to commemorate their school
with a street co-naming.
“When I heard that Bishop
Kearney High School was
closing that summer of 2019,
it was heartbreaking, heartbreaking,”
COURIER L 16 IFE, OCTOBER 22-28, 2021
Mary Ann Liotta,
a 1977 graduate of the school,
told Brooklyn Paper ahead of
the renaming. “Of course, you
instantly recall your school

days, your high school days,
but it was more than that. It
was a family.”
Liotta likened the bond she
had with her schoolmates to
one between college sorority
sisters. The fact that future
generations of Bensonhurst
girls wouldn’t experience the
friendships and education she
and her friends had, she said,
was “the biggest loss.”
Sister Virginia Lake, a longtime
Kearney faculty member
and a favorite among students,
said she wasn’t surprised by
the vigor her former students
showed toward properly remembering
their alma mater.
“You always know you’re at
a Kearney event because the
girls scream when they see
each other. It’s just wonderful,”
she said. “It’s not something
that you teach at the school,
but it’s something that they felt
and that they’ve kept going.”
“The infl uence of a great
school like Bishop Kearney
never really goes away,” said
local Councilmember Justin
Brannan, who authored
and passed a bill to bring the
co-naming to life. “We here
in South Brooklyn and beyond
will continue to feel the
positive impact of the lessons
learned there for generations.
I’m proud that this street sign
will help remind people where
it all came from, and I’m
grateful to the friends, neighbors,
leaders, and alumni who
helped push this effort over
the fi nish line.”

your bone or muscle? It’s actually

nerves that are trapped and irritated
between the bones and muscles. Hi
