The Young Vincentians and the Knights of Columbus are having their annual Thanksgiving food drive and annual coat drive to benefit people on Long Island.  This is an excellent way to help people who are concerned about the basics – food, clothing, and shelter. The donations will go to our food pantry as well as churches that serve many of the island’s neediest areas.  Please help us to help people in our own community. 

We are thankful for your generosity and support.

The Parish Social Ministry and the New York Blood Center would like to thank everyone who came out for the recent Blood Drive on Columbus Day.  The Blood Drive was a great success, saving up to 162 lives!! Thank you.  We would like to thank the Knights of Columbus, especially Russell Merendino, Jeanne Gualteri and Joan Weber for all their efforts in making this a huge success.

The next blood drive will be held on Monday, January 17^th, 2022.  Thank you again!
