Come to Mass and then stay for a presentation of the Nativity by the children in our religious education program. They bring their stuffed animals to be part of the manger scene. It's beyond cute! It's a wonderful way to get into the spirit of the season.
The church office will be closed starting on December 25, 2025 and will re-open again on January 5, 2026. It is always possible to get in touch with the friars through the website to set up a meeting at "Coffee with a Friar". Should you need to arrange for a funeral you can also begin the process by selecting "Request at Funeral" under the Funeral menu at the top of the page. If there is a life and death emergency requiring the Anointing of the Sick please call 718.719.6056.
“Migrants and refugees remind the Church of her pilgrim dimension, perpetually journeying towards her final homeland, sustained by a hope that is a theological virtue.”
—Pope Leo XIV, Message for the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees
The history of the U.S. Catholic Church, like the history of the United States itself, is very much intertwined with the phenomenon of migration. The first American citizen to be canonized a saint, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, was the embodiment of this. An immigrant from Italy, she adopted this country as her own. While often facing discrimination and seemingly impossible odds, she never succumbed to hopelessness. With relentless faith, she accompanied her fellow immigrants and others living on the margins of society with a great missionary zeal.
But Mother Cabrini’s challenges, and the challenges of those she served, are not unique among the generations of Catholics and immigrants in general who have come to this land. This is not just a matter of history. It is a present reality in the life of our Church and nation.
