Church
of
the Savior welcomes hundreds of boys from
Bergen Catholic
On
February 1, we at Church of the Savior had the unplanned and unexpected
privilege
of offering hospitality and sanctuary to the entire staff and student
body of
Bergen Catholic High School, located just across the street from us. An incident had occurred
there that morning
that necessitated the immediate evacuation and relocation of everyone
present
at school that day. For
many years we
have had a long-standing agreement that, should there be any emergency
either
at Bergen Catholic or at Church of the Savior, each would offer a place
of
refuge for the other.
And
so in the bitter cold of that February morning, our back parking lot
was filled
with Bergen Catholic boys and staff, most of whom had left their coats
and
jackets behind. With
military precision,
quietly and in order, the Bergen Catholic staff led their boys into our
building, where they were all welcomed by Pastor Nagle.
One or two bus-loads of boys were sent off to
St. Joseph’s in Oradell. Most
were
led
inside here. They
filled the
sanctuary. They
filled the multi-purpose
room. They filled
the balcony, and finally
the three upstairs classrooms. They
were
well behaved, well supervised, and very polite and respectful guests. All this occurred during
our regular nursery
school day, which continued seamlessly, under the able direction of
Mrs.
Hayman, without any interruption or problem.
When
the emergency was over, our guests
returned to Bergen Catholic to finish the rest of their day. We thank our Lord for the
joy and the
privilege
of being an “ark,” offering a place of warmth, sanctuary
and safety to God’s
people at Bergen Catholic.
We received
the following letter of
thanks: Dear
Pastor Nagle: Thank
you. We at Bergen
Catholic are appreciative of the
hospitable manner in which you and your staff took us in during
today’s
critical incident. I
can only imagine
what you and your staff pictured our bringing hundreds of teenagers to
you
would be like. Know
that we stand ready
to be of like assistance to you. Thank
you again. Sincerely,
Brother Brian
Walsh, President
