The top photo is taken from the intersection of East Jamaica Avenue and South Grove Street, which happens to be a block east of Valley Stream's business district on Rockaway Avenue. The church has two naves, joined at the altar. The second photo shows the principal nave. Doors to East Jamaica Avenue are behind the photographer. To the left of the altar is another nave, with doors to South Grove Street.
Across from the church is the parish elementary school at 90 South Grove Street, Valley Stream, NY 11580, telephone 516-825-4009. The school's website is linked here. An excellent, upbeat news article in the Long Island Herald on 4.27.2012 states that the K-8 enrollment is 274.
Sister Elizabeth Marie was principal of the school from 1997 to 2005.
Remember the old Church. Remember Fathers McGovern Pastor. Father Tomas Kelly and Father Schoenberger. I also attended the school first grade to eighth
