The parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka is organized to serve Maspeth farmers far from a church
The parish was founded in 1872 so that farmers around Maspeth would have a place of worship closer than St. Mary's Church in Winfield, part of Woodside. Its first church stood at 64-25 Perry Avenue, not on this lot. It was among just three local churches that ran their own schools, and it now shares one parish with nearby Transfiguration Church.
“One of the goals of building the church in 1872 was to provide a house of prayer and worship to local farmers living far away…”
