Welcome to St Josaphat Parish!
St. Josaphat’s Parish isn’t just a building; it’s a group of people from diverse backgrounds who have connected to make up our church family. For over 100 years, our parish has been leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Growing together in our relationship with the Lord, we have devoted ourselves to letting the grace of the Holy Spirit transform us and the community we serve.
Our parish was established on June 12, 1910, by Polish-speaking immigrants, and our current church was built in 1934. The following towns are within our parish boundaries: Beechhurst, College Point, Douglaston, Flushing, Flushing Heights, Great Neck, Little Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, and Whitestone. You can learn more about St. Josaphat here.

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith.
In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
