As a cardinal in 1969, the pope visited Holy Cross for a couple of days, using his birth name Father Karol Józef Wojtyla. The co-naming is the brainchild of the Polish American Congress and the Jewish Historical Society of Queens, and was sponsored by Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley. “Pope John Paul II’s long ministry connected people from every nation and helped make the world a more peaceful place,” said Crowley, who represents Maspeth. “Pope John Paul II touched the lives of billions, and now all Queens residents will be reminded of his legacy for generations to come.” Better Health Starts Today The # 1 Cause of Hospitalizations in South East Queens is Heart Disease.
