AccessibilityThis playground is named for Monsignor Francis J. Kett (1895-1969), pastor of nearby Saint Jude’s Roman Catholic Church. Despite economic obstacles, St. Jude’s grew under Kett’s leadership. Within the parish’s first year, Monsignor Kett founded an athletic association and a Catholic Youth Organization. He also raised funds for the construction of St. Jude’s School. Monsignor Kett died on January 9, 1969, leaving behind a thriving parish and a legacy of devoted service.
