Ronan Tynan Will Sing at Bishop’s Christmas Lunch

HONOREES: Robert C. Golden and Maureen Moore, who will be honored at the Bishop’s Christmas Luncheon, are shown with their children Bobby and Katie.

Celebrated Irish tenor Ronan Tynan will sing songs of Christmas and of his native land at the second annual Bishop’s Christmas Luncheon to be held at Abigail Kirsch at Stage 6, Brooklyn Navy Yard, 15 Washington Ave., Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 11:45 a.m.


Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio and celebrity chef Michael Lomonaco, who grew up in Bensonhurst, will greet the guests at the event that will benefit the Bishop’s Scholarship Program of the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Alive in Hope Foundation.


The bishop will present two awards. Maureen Moore and Robert Charles Golden will receive the Pope John Paul II Distinguished Stewardship Award, while the Children’s Scholarship Fund will be honored with the Emma A. Daniels Benefactor’s Award. For the second year, Maurice DuBois, co-anchor of “CBS 2 News This Morning,” will serve as master of ceremonies.


The program will again feature a children’s Christmas pageant, said Thomas F. Flood, the executive director of the Alive in Hope Foundation. The Bishop will read a proclamation and students from Blessed Sacrament School in Jackson Heights will participate.


More than 6,200 youngsters enrolled in parochial schools in Brooklyn and Queens are receiving scholarships from a diocesan tuition-assistance initiative funded by such providers as the Alive in Hope Foundation and the Children’s Scholarship Program, a national venture that helps low-income families send their children to non-public schools.


Bishop DiMarzio and Lomonaco are honorary co-chairpersons of the luncheon and the co-chairs are Mary Ann Mattone and Susan Rohan.
