Do not hesitate or be afraid to come forward, but do as Mary did and give your “yes”. Remember, Mary was a teenaged girl when she gave her YES, and Joseph was many years her senior when he too gave his yes. Let Mary speak to your heart.

St. Vincent de Paul Society

The St. Vincent de Paul Society has consistently emphasized both the internal movement of faith and the external action of charity. In our Holy Child conference we help at St. Edward’s Food Pantry, help the needy of the parish as well as others who require our assistance. We bring the Eucharist to residents in Eger and Seaview Nursing Homes, have a St. Patrick’s party in Seaview, work on the Christmas Giving Tree, a coat drive, provide Thanksgiving and Easter baskets and go and do whatever is needed to accomplish our goal of service. We also were able to provide transportation for children to attend camp one week during the summer.

We are always open to new members who would like to assist us. Please contact the Rectory at (718) 356-5890 and leave a message for Peg Corney.
