As a child I went to Our Lady of Sorrows. Now as a senior I wish to place this school/church in my will. What is the process . While there I was Eugene Arcieri slightly changed to Gene Arceri FYI I am on the Internet. I made my communion and confirmation there and I loved all the too few years I had before we moved to Flushing. Thank you.
