Red Hook Italian Church History Merges Into St Stephen’s
The Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and St. Stephen parishes in Red Hook combined in 1941 due to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. The Italian immigrant church moved from Warren and Hicks to Degraw and Hicks, with Father Disnisco and Mother Cabrini figures shaping a century of community, schooling, and annual processions.
