Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

Our Lady of Peace, Lynbrook




Our Lady of Peace church faces the busy intersection of Merrick Road and Peninsula Boulevard in Lynbrook.  Its mailing address is 25 Fowler Avenue, Lynbrook NY 11563, telephone 516-599-6414.  The parish website is linked here.

These photos were taken in August, 2011. Clicking on any photo will enlarge it.




During 9 a.m. Mass on March 12, 2011, a gunman killed a faithful parishioner and the beloved pastor, honored by this plaque and by memorial trees on the west side of the church. Many articles about this tragedy are available on the New York Times website archives and through Proquest at public libraries.  I knew Fr. Larry from his years at St. Frances de Chantal, Wantagh.


The school address is 21 Fowler Avenue, Lynbrook NY 11563, telephone 516-593-9861.  The school's website is linked here. It would appear that the Sisters of Mercy and lay teachers staff the school.


The west end of the school faces Merrick Road.
