On June 24, 2010 the Canonical inquiry into the Cause of Canonization of Msgr. Bernard J. Quinn was officially opened at a prayer service held in the church he founded in 1922, St. Peter Claver Church, in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn.
Msgr. Quinn started many programs to enrich the lives of the black people of Bedford Stuyvesant who, at the time, faced segregation. He would later go on to found Little Flower Children Services, to care for the increasing number of black children orphaned as a result of the Great Depression. Situated in Wading River, Long Island, Fr. Quinn and his collaborators heroically opposed the Ku Klux Klan who in two separate attacks had burned the orphanage to the ground.
Monsignor Bernard Quinn died on April 7, 1940 at the age of 52. He was buried from St. Peter Claver Church, where eight thousand people attended his funeral.
