…At least if you attend this school! Since 1908, St. Pancras School has offered a quality Catholic education to children in the Glendale section of Queens, arguably New York City’s last German neighborhood. The current school building went up under Monsignor Herman J. “Doc” Pfeifer, longtime pastor of St. Pancras (1930-1964). In this mosaic, located inside the school, Jesus suffers the little children to come unto Him. Also represented here is a Sister of St. Dominic, whose community ran the school for many years, and the then-reigning pastor. Not only did Monsignor Pfeifer have himself put in the picture, but his dog can be seen in the right hand corner!
