Pastor Monsignor James R. Moore officially broke ground for the new St. Joseph's Catholic Church last Tuesday, May 31.  Bishop Dominick Lagonegro D.D., Episcopal Vicar of Northern Westchester and Putnam, blessed the grounds.  The new church will be located on Plumbrook Road, on the campus of Kennedy Catholic High School in Somers, NY.  Fifty members of the community, including priests, parishioners, and town officials attended the ceremony, according to a news story at NCNLocal.com.  That news site also reports that the fate of the old St. Joseph's church in Croton Falls is still undetermined. Seating in the new church will accommodate 800 people. The existing building holds 199.
