About the Employer

The Holy Name of Jesus parish was established by Bishop John Loughlin on March 17, 1878, to serve Catholics in the sparsely settled but rapidly improving section of Brooklyn that was bounded by Seventh Avenue, Ninth Street, Green-Wood Cemetery, and the city line. The first Mass was held in a stable, located at 18th Street and 11th Avenue, and was attended by about 100 persons. Today we are a vibrant parish of over 400 parishioners - many of whom are descendants from the first generations of Holy Name and we have welcomed countless others into our community. Windsor Terrace / Park Slope is a great neighborhood for young professionals and families.
