While Mark Peterson, Past-President of Bishop Kearney High School, Rose Denaro and over 300 community attendees look on, Joseph Denaro cuts the ribbon at the entrance to the Rose and Joseph Denaro Interfaith Center.

On October 20, 2002, Rose and Joseph Denaro dedicated the Interfaith Center.
People of all ages in the community will have the opportunity to study the causes and effects of genocide and violence in our society and the role of each individual in formulating peaceful resolutions. |
The Dedication Ceremony
Greeting the guests was the Rochester Boys Choir under the direction of David Klement.
