The Parish was founded in 1920 as a mission of St. Patrick's in Bay Shore. At the time, the community at Point O'Woods was organized as an exclusively Protestant community and Catholics quickly flocked to Ocean Beach, building their bungalows around their Church, contracted in 1921. The Rectory is an Islip farmhouse barged to the island for this purpose.
As the Parish grew and more families made their permanent home on Fire Island, the Parish became independent of St. Pat's in Bay Shore. During the 40's the steeple was added to the Church giving  its current appearance.
 
The Parish is administered by Father Edward Sheridan. He is assisted in the summer by Father Eric R. Fasano, Father John J. McCartney, Father Francis Colamaria and other visiting priests.

GOD BLESS YOU! We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!

OUR CHURCH IS LOCATED ON MIDWAY BETWEEN BUNGALOW AND OCEAN
