​Fr. Jim O’Shea—NYC Man of the Week

​The April issue of St. Paul of the Cross Newsletter features a story about Fr. Jim O'Shea and his work with the Reconnect Brooklyn project.
​
"The one thing I hope all these guys take away is that my life matters," says the Rev. Jim O'Shea, the latest New Yorker of the Week. "Am I perfect? No. Am I a saint? No, none of us are. But my life matters. And there actually are people in the world that will stick with me and stay with me long enough to discover that."  Jim is the founder of Reconnect Brooklyn which employs dozens of men ages 17 to 24 at three businesses in Bedford-Stuyvesant: a café, a bakery and a graphics company.
