Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church – We change lives through the Risen Christ

We will be closed Monday, November 11th, for Veterans Day.

Meet Our New Pastor – Rev. Joseph Davanzo Fr. Joe grew up in St. Clare’s parish in Rosedale, Queens, across from St. Clare’s School, which he attended. Upon graduation from St. John’s University with a B.S. in accounting, Fr. Joe became a CPA. After a few years, he took a position at Amerada Hess Corp. In the early 1990’s, a time of corporate downsizing, Fr. Joe met a seminarian who helped him in the process of priestly discernment, which lead to his entering the Seminary. Bishop McGann ordained Fr. Joe in 1997 and assigned him to St. Hugh of Lincoln in Huntington Station, where he served with Fr. Vin for five years. He went on to serve St. Joseph’s in Kings Park and St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre. In 2007 Bishop Murphy named Fr. Joe pastor of Christ the King, and in 2019 to replace Fr. Vin when he retires as pastor at Our Lady of Grace (effective June 26). Please welcome him!
