SUNSET PARK Cleanliness is next to godliness, as the old saying goes.
At churches all over the Diocese of Brooklyn, parishioners take that famous adage seriously.
They help keep churches clean by dusting pews and railings, replenishing Holy Water fonts, picking up church bulletins left behind by parishioners, and performing other tasks out of a deep love for their parish.
