This blog may evolve as a mixture of the history and geography of Catholic parishes in Nassau County. In no way is this blog official. Please scroll down.
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.

St. Boniface the Martyr, Sea Cliff
St. Boniface Martyr church stands on the northwest corner of Glen Avenue and Carpenter Avenue. Its address is 145 Glen Avenue, Sea Cliff NY 11579, telephone 516-676-0676. The parish website is linked here. A very informative history page is linked here, with many, many topics. I was particularly glad to see the chronology of the principals of Saint Boniface school and All Saints, as it helps people who try to remember who-followed-whom and when.
The stained glass window at the right seems to answer the question, "Which St. Boniface the Martyr?" Apparently it is not the man martyred about 307, but rather the Englishman Boniface, Apostle to the Germans, who cut down a sacred oak, and was martyred in 754. His body was brought to Fulda.
The parish has a religious education program and is one of five parishes sponsoring All Saints Regional Catholic School in Glen Cove.
The parish office is on the south side of Glen Avenue, facing the church. Bus route N21 along Glen Avenue connects this location with Flushing and Glen Cove, generally hourly.

St. Dominic parish offers both an elementary school and a high school. St. Edward's parish elementary school is linked here. St. Pius X supports St. John Baptist de La Salle Regional Catholic Elementary School in Farmingdale, but the diocese has announced the closure of this school in June, 2012.
