Town Hall will be closed October 21st for ROT Michael DeBenedictus' Funeral

There are no words to describe the contributions made by Michael DeBenedictus to the Town of Catskill.  He served as our Receiver of Taxes but that role doesn’t begin to capture all he did for his beloved Catskill.  A leader of seniors at the Robert C Antonelli Senior Center and beyond, Michael was the epitome of what being a public servant should be.  To say he will be missed doesn’t begin to capture the loss to his family, his colleagues in public service, and the entire community.  We extend our sympathies to Sam and the family and will join them in celebrating Michael’s extraordinary life. 

The Town of Catskill will close all buildings and services on Monday, October 21, except for our first responder ambulance corps and in the event of a weather emergency as it relates to the highway department.  

Funeral services will be held at St. Anthony Friary, Harrison St. Catskill on Sunday, October 20 from 2-8 pm with a vigil for the Deceased at 7:00 pm.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10am on Monday, October 21 at St. Anthony Friary with interment following at the Town of Catskill Cemetery.
