A Catholic Church and school in Brooklyn built with funds raised by Catholics, Jews and Protestants was dedicated yesterday by Archbishop Thomas E. Molloy of Brooklyn. Besides contributing to the $240,000 raised in the neighborhood, Jews made the drapes which hang behind the main after and the two side altars.
In nearby Englewood Cliffs, N.J., Jews worked side by side with Protestants an Catholics this week-end to build two Quonset huts which will be used as temporary classrooms and mess facilities for 94 boys whose barracks at the St. Josephs Orphanage was destroyed by fire several weeks ago. Jews have also contributed to the first $10,000 to be raised for the construction of a new orphanage for the Catholic children.
