St Fidelis Church

The St. Anne’s Society ended the year with a 90th birthday celebration, a new member and bid farewell to one of our most beloved members, moving to NC.

The St Fidelis Street Outreach Ministry

Jesus said to his Disciples “ I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have
loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my
disciple, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)
This month we would like to offer special thanks to Rev. Michael F. Falce and the parish of Our
Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Ridgewood for their gracious and generous donation of food to
our Outreach. It takes a village . . . . .and more to do this holy work!!

On Saturday May 2, 2026, the Tablet and NET TV came to visit our monthly Street Outreach
Ministry. We were so proud to show them the work we do (in partnership with our neighboring
parishes), distributing food, clothing, hygienic products and other items on the First Saturday of
every month. We were also very proud to tell them about our work helping the homeless get off
the street into long term sustainable housing. This is the heart and soul of our Ministry!!

With so many volunteers like Maribel Perez (featured in both the Tablet and NET TV’s
coverage) and Deacon Frank Kazlausky (whom you see leading prayer on NET TV before we
open the lines for food distribution) our Street Outreach grew into a Ministry we are deeply
proud of. You can find the online links to this coverage at https://netny.tv/episodes/currents/college-point-street-outreach/ and https://thetablet.org/college-point-queens-st-fidelis-street-outreach-ministry/

Our Outreach takes place the first Saturday of each month (rain or shine) from 8:30 a.m. to as
long as supplies last, on the corner of 14th Avenue and College Point Boulevard, across from the
Poppenhusen Library. We offer free food, clothing, hygienic supplies and other items to all in
need. In between First Saturdays we regularly visit with the street homeless and housing insecure in College Point and beyond and assist them with their need for housing. We have helped many people make the transition from homeless or housing insecure to long term stable housing.

El Ministerio de Extensión de la Calle St Fidelis

Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: " Un mandamiento nuevo os doy: Que os améis unos a otros; como yo os he amado, que también os améis unos a otros. En esto conocerán todos que sois mis discípulos, si tuviereis amor los unos con los otros.

(Juan 13:34-35)

Este mes nos gustaría ofrecer un agradecimiento especial al reverendo Michael F. Falce y a la parroquia de nuestro Dama de la Medalla Milagrosa en Ridgewood por su amable y generosa donación de alimentos a Nuestro alcance. ¡Se necesita un pueblo... y más para hacer esta obra sagrada!

El sábado 2 de mayo de 2026, Tablet y NET TV vinieron a visitar nuestro Street Outreach ministerio mensual.
Estábamos muy orgullosos de mostrarles el trabajo que hacemos (en asociación con nuestro vecino parroquial ), distribuyendo alimentos, ropa, productos higiénicos y otros artículos en el primer sábado de cada mes. También estábamos muy orgullosos de contarles sobre nuestro trabajo ayudando a las personas sin hogar a salir de la calle hacia una vivienda sostenible a largo plazo. ¡¡Este es el corazón y el alma de nuestro Ministerio!!

Con tantos voluntarios como Maribel Pérez (que aparece tanto en Tablet como en NET TV's Cobertura) y el diácono Frank Kazlausky (a quien ves liderando la oración en NET TV antes de que nosotros abrir las líneas para la distribución de alimentos) nuestro Street Outreach se convirtió en un Ministerio que estamos profundamente orgullosos.

The St. Anne’s Society welcomed 6 new members at our Installation Mass on Tuesday night.

On Saturday May 2, 2026, NET TV came to visit our monthly Street Outreach Ministry. We were so proud to show them the work we do (in partnership with Holy Trinity in Whitestone and St Mel in Flushing), distributing food, clothing, hygienic products and other items on the First Saturday of every month. We were also very proud to tell them about our work helping the homeless get off the street into long term sustainable housing. So far we have gotten 23 people off the streets!!
We believe this is God’s work and our Gospel mandate. With so many volunteers like Maribel Perez (featured in NET TV’s interview) and Deacon Frank Kazlausky (whom you see leading prayer before we open the lines for food distribution) our Street Outreach has grown into a Ministry we are deeply proud of.

In Queens, College Point Street Outreach Run by Religious Sister Supports Families in Need St. Fidelis Street Outreach in College Point has helped hundreds of people with food, clothing and housing support, inspired by faith and community volunteers.

“He said to them in reply, “Whoever has two tunics should share with the person who has
none. And whoever has food should do likewise.” (Luke 3:11)
This month we were delighted and honored to have Maribel Perez, Life Scout in All Girls Scout Troop 153 G of BSA of St Anastasia Douglaston NY and ten of her Sister Scouts and Scout Master, distribute hygienic products which Maribel had collected during a months long project in which she spoke at Masses in several parishes the Diocese. Maribel, who is sixteen years old, has been a volunteer in our Street Outreach along with her mother Cecilia Perez and Grandmother Lupe Madrid. We are so proud of and grateful to Maribel who stands as a true model of Gospel charity and service for young people in the Church.

We also had to bid a very fond and extremely grateful farewell to long time volunteer Deacon
Frank Kazlausky, aka, “Deacon Frankfurter” as he and his family relocate to the Carolinas to be near their grandchildren. Our prayers, gratitude and love go with you Deacon Frank!!

"Él les dijo en respuesta: "El que tiene dos túnicas, dé al que no tiene; y el que tiene qué comer, haga lo mismo” (Lucas 3:11)

Este mes nos sentimos encantados y honrados de que Maribel Pérez, Life Scout en All Girls Scout Troop 153 G de BSA de St Anastasia Douglaston NY y diez de sus Hermanas Scouts y Scouts Master, distribuyeran productos higiénicos que Maribel había recogido durante un proyecto de meses en el que habló en Misas en varias parroquias de la Diócesis. Maribel, que tiene dieciséis años, ha sido voluntaria en nuestro Street Outreach junto con su madre Cecilia Pérez y su abuela Lupe Madrid. Estamos muy orgullosos y agradecidos con Maribel, que se representa como un verdadero modelo de caridad evangélica y servicio para los jóvenes en la Iglesia.

También tuvimos que despedirnos muy cariñosamente y estamos extremadamente agradecidos al Deacon que ha sido voluntario desde hace mucho tiempo Frank Kazlausky, también conocido como "Deacon Frankfurter", mientras él y su familia se trasladan a las Carolinas para estar cerca de sus nietos. ¡¡Nuestras oraciones, gratitud y amor van contigo, Deacon Frank!!
