In the Community

Professional therapy, provided by New York State licensed therapists, is available to our parish and 80 other parishes. This program, under the direction of Dr. George Giuliani has been conducted in the Diocese for the past 35 years for the convenience of parishioners. Services are provided by the Catholic Counseling Center, a proprietary professional corporation, which is independent of and not controlled or supervised by the parish or Diocese. Most insurance policies, including Medicare, are honored. Information and appointments are available at (631) 243-2503.

The official start of the coat drive is November 1st. The coats are dropped off to needy parishes in Queens and Brooklyn, visiting Nurse Early Head Start program in Rockaway, St. John’s Bread and Life Ministry, and other spots that are in need of help. The coats can be left at my office at Bryce Rea Associates, or if you can’t come to me I will go and pick them up; just call my cell phone: Carolyn Meenan at (917) 796-2990. Thank you again for your generous help by keeping someone warm this winter. 

Homeless men living under  Flushing Meadow Bridges need clothing  For a number of years now and thanks to the generosity of our parishioners; every Sunday morning during the winter months, we bring hot chocolate, a sandwich and some warm clothes to a group of homeless men living under the bridges and surrounding areas of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. These are men who for different reasons have given up on life and seen unable to cope with it. As the cold weather approaches, once again we are preparing to start our mission and we need clothing. If you have warm clothes and blankets that are clean and in good condition and would like to donate them please call us and we will pick them up. For more information call Jorge at (718) 224-8187 or (718) 423-5988.
