Terrible news, that Deacon Patrick Logsdon was murdered November 3, 2017, at Anthony House, where for many years (decades?) he cared for and supervised men who needed help to return to the ordinary world. Newsday has the beginnings of a report.

For years, we have helped and lauded this particular work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul here in Nassau County. I think others founded the work, staffed it, and he continued in their footsteps.

This is a grievous loss.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, Roosevelt
In 1919, the bishop of Brooklyn established the parish of Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. The parish mailing address is 196 West Centennial Avenue, Roosevelt NY 11575, telephone 516-378-1315. Its website is linked here.

The parish is less than a mile south of Exit 21 of the Southern State Parkway.

The church seats 1,100. On weekdays for 8 a.m. Mass and rosary, the congregation worships in a chapel near the foyer. The west door, facing the rectory, provides entrance.
The former parish school, built in 1953, seems to provide several uses, including the parish social ministry. A charter school, Roosevelt Children's Academy, uses the parish grounds for five sections of kindergarten and four first grade sections, with portable classrooms in the parking lot and, perhaps, part of the main school building.
