Nassau County N.Y. Catholic: Mineola

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.

Five new pastors in Nassau County

The Long Island Catholic has listed five new pastors of parishes in Nassau County (link HERE). These appointments by Bishop Murphy are effective June 29, 2016. The parishes with new pastors are Corpus Christi (Mineola), Cure of Ars (Merrick), St. Martha (Uniondale), and St. Gertrude (Bayville). In what seems to be a change of titles, one priest will serve three parishes: pastor of St. Joseph (Hewlett) and Our Lady of Good Counsel (Inwood), and administrator of St. Joachim (Cedarhurst).

The list continues with the appointment of Associate Pastors at St. James (Seaford), St. Rose (Massapequa), St. Dominic (Oyster Bay), St. Ignatius Loyola (Hicksville), St. Barnabas (Bellmore), Notre Dame (New Hyde Park), Holy Family (Hicksville), and Sacred Heart (North Merrick).

Corpus Christi, Mineola

Above is the entrance to Corpus Christi church on Garfield Avenue, Mineola.

Corpus Christi parish stands on the southwest corner of Willis and Garfield Avenues in Mineola. The altar is at this Willis Avenue end of the church, and the door shown in the above photo is not an entrance. Please enter from Garfield Avenue. The mailing address is 155 Garfield Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501, telephone 516-746-1223. The parish website is linked here.

The above two photos were taken on May 13, 2012, as people assembled for the 8:30 a.m. Mass in Portuguese. It is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. Any photo may be enlarged by clicking on it.

On Searing Avenue are two buildings that once formed the parish elementary school. They are joined by a bridge at the second floor. Religious education and a youth center use these buildings now. This view looks west towards Willis Avenue and the church.

North Hempstead deanery

The Diocese of Rockville Centre has seven deaneries in Nassau County. The North Hempstead Deanery includes the following parishes, in order of foundation:
1863 -- St. Mary, Manhassset
1876 -- St. Aloysius, Great Neck.
1893 -- Holy Spirit, New Hyde Park.
1901 -- St. Peter of Alcantara, Port Washington
1901 -- Corpus Christi, Mineola.
1925 -- St. Aidan, Williston Park
1941 -- Notre Dame, New Hyde Park.
1948 -- Our Lady of Fatima, Manorhaven.
The North Hempstead deanery is not coterminous with the Town of North Hempstead.
Four of the eight parishes support a parish elementary school: St. Aidan (at about 600 students, maybe the sixth largest in the diocese), St. Mary, St. Peter of Alcantara, and Notre Dame. St. Mary's parish, Manhasset, hosts a parish high school.
