While Father Zeller and the parishioners were busy raising funds, the church was being constructed under the leadership of Carpenter Pederson in “gothic style”. The building stood sixty feet from the ground and its area was thirty-five by fifty-one feet. There were four windows on each side and four corner windows in the roof. The main entrance on Flushing Avenue (Parsons Blvd) was a gothic porch while in the rear of the church were two side entrances. The interior was paneled oak on the sides with a high gothic ceiling exposed in wood. Twenty feet above the roof was a frame canopy supported by four posts which would enclose a gold-leaf cast iron statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

While the church was under construction, Father Zeller offered the first Mass in the parish on May 16, 1886 in an old farmhouse, built in 1767, which was serving as church and rectory. On weekdays Mass was celebrated in a room of the farmhouse and every Saturday evening the altar was carried to the unfinished church where people sat on barrels, boxes, logs and boards. A planning bench served as a vesting table and a sawhorse served as a communion rail.

At last the church was completed and on September 8, 1886, the Feast of the Birth of Mary, it was officially dedicated by Bishop John Loughlin under the title “Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

The following year, 1887, Father Zeller opened a parish school where he employed the help of the Dominican Sisters. He encouraged Mother Superior, Sister Seraphina Staimer, to buy six lots of land adjoining the church. He then built a convent which had an orphanage and two classrooms. The orphanage cared for about fifty parish children and the convent was known as St. Elizabeth’s Convent.

The parish grew so rapidly that its facilities soon had to be expanded. A two-story frame school house was completed and dedicated by October 1, 1893. Upon completion of the parish school, Father Zeller began the construction, which was done by William Kassner and Son, architects and builders. The area of the building was enlarged to 3,000 square feet providing room for four hundred and fifty parishioners. The church had a chime of three bells and a four faced clock.

The church was completed and the dedication took place on October 25, 1894. Bishop Charles E. McDonnell, who succeeded Bishop Loughlin began the dedication ceremonies, at which Vicar General P.J. McNamara gave the English language sermon and Father M. Wagner the German sermon to the many guests and parishioners in attendance.

The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Religious parents never fail by devout prayer to consecrate their children to the divine service and love, both before and after their birth. Some amongst the Jews, not content with this general consecration of their children, offered them to God in their infancy, by the hands of the priests in the temple, to be lodged in apartments belonging to the temple, and brought up in attending the priests and Levites in the sacred ministry. It is an ancient tradition, that the Blessed Virgin Mary was thus solemnly offered to God in the temple in her infancy. This festival of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin, or, as it is often called by the Greeks, the entrance of the Blessed Virgin into the Temple, is mentioned in the most ancient Greek Menologies extant.

By the consecration which the Blessed Virgin made of herself to God in the first use which she made of her reason, we are admonished of the most important and strict obligation which all persons lie under, of an early dedication of themselves to the divine love and service. It is agreed amongst all masters of Christian morality, that everyone is bound in the first moral instant of the use of reason to convert his heart to God by love; and if divine faith be then duly proposed to him (which is the case of Christian children) by a supernatural assent to it, he is bound then to make an act of faith; also an act of hope in God as a supernatural rewarder and helper, and an act of divine charity. Who can be secure that in the very moment in which he entered into his moral life and was capable of living to God, did not stain his innocence by a capital omission of this duty? How diligent and solicitous are parents bound to be in instructing their children in the first fundamental mysteries of faith, and in the duty of prayer, and in impressing upon their tender minds a sense of spiritual things in a manner in which their age may be capable of receiving it. These first fruits of the heart are a sacrifice of which God is infinitely jealous, an emblem of which were all the sacrifices of first fruits prescribed in the old law, in token that he is our beginning and last end. Such a heart, adorned with the baptismal grace of innocence, has particular charms. Grace recovered by penance is not like that of innocence which has never been defiled; nor is it the same happiness for a soul to return to God from the slavery of sin, as for one to give him her first affections, and to open her understanding and will to his love before the world has found any entrance there. The tender soul of Mary was then adorned with the most precious graces, an object of astonishment and praise to the angels, and of the highest complacence to the adorable Trinity, the Father looking upon her as his beloved daughter, the Son, as one chosen and prepared to become his mother, and the Holy Ghost as his darling spouse.

Her first presentation to God, made by the hands of her parents and by her own devotion, was then an offering most acceptable in his sight. Let our consecration of ourselves to God be made under her patronage, and assisted by her powerful intercession and the union of her merits. If we have reason to fear that we criminally neglected this duty at the first dawning of our reason, or, if we have since been unfaithful to our sacred baptismal engagements, such is the mercy and goodness of our gracious God, that he disdains not our late offerings. But that these may be accepted by him, we must first prepare the present he requires of us, that is, our hearts. They must be washed and cleansed in the sacred laver of Christ's adorable blood, by means of sincere compunction and penance; and all inordinate affections must be pared away by our perfectly renouncing in spirit, honours, riches, and pleasures, and being perfectly disengaged from creatures, and ready to do and suffer all for God, that we may be entirely his, and that neither the world nor pride, nor any irregular passion may have any place in us. What secret affections to this or that creature lurk in our souls, which hinder us from being altogether his, unless they are perfectly cut off or reformed! This Mary did by spending her youth in holy retirement, at a distance from the commerce and corruption of the world, and by the most assiduous application to all the duties and exercises of a religious and interior life. Mary was the first who set up the standard of virginity; and, by consecrating it by a perpetual vow to our Lord, she opened the way to all virgins who have since followed her example. They, in particular, ought to take her for their special patroness, and, as her life was the most perfect model of their state, they ought always to have her example before their eyes, and imitate her in prayer, humility, modesty, silence, and retirement.

Mary lived retired until she was introduced into the world and espoused to St. Joseph. Some think her espousals were at first only a promise or betrothing: but the ends assigned by the fathers, seem rather to show them to have been a marriage. These are summed up by St. Jerome as follows: that by the pedigree of Joseph, the descent of Mary from the tribe of Juda, might be demonstrated; that she might not be stoned by the Jews as an adulteress; that, fleeing into Egypt, she might have the comfort and protection of a spouse. A fourth reason, says St. Jerome, is added by the martyr Ignatius: that the birth of the Son of God might be concealed from the devil. The words of that apostolic father are: "Three mysteries wrought by God in silence were concealed from the prince of this world. the virginity of Mary, the bringing forth of her Son, and the death of the Lord." Not that God could fear any impediment to his designs from the devil; but he was pleased to effect these mysteries in silence and without worldly show and noise, that pride and hell might, by his all-wise and sweet providence, be more meetly triumphed over, whilst the devil himself hastened his own overthrow by concurring to the mystery of the cross. From the marriage of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph, St. Austin shows that marriage requires no more than the mutual consent of the will between parties who lie under no impediment or inability to an indissoluble individual society of life. In this holy marriage we admire the incomparable chastity of Mary and Joseph; and the sanctity and honour, as well as the patronage and example, which that holy state receives from this mystery. In certain particular churches the espousals of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph are honoured with an office on the 23rd of January.

The most beautiful church In Jamaica queens the people there and priests welcome everyone I go there with my family the best church ever !

For me, the most beautiful church in Queens. My dad semi-proposed to my mom here, they got married here, there is a n alter with a replica of the Guatemalan "Man of Esquipulas" or more commonly known as the "Black Jesus", when my mom passed, her 7-day Novena was done there and especially because my dad still attends services here. I have been to many weddings, funerals and baptisms here. It is quite beautiful and serene.

5 years ago, my friend committed suicide and I ran over to the church to beg for a priest to pray with me. The priest opened the door of the rectory, poked his head out, and told me to call 311 if Im in need of help, and then he closed the door on me. The priest was a middle aged man with blond hair, and when I see him walking a german shepard dog, I have to cross the street to be away from this despicable man. BTW, and amazing priest at St Barts in Elmhurst was able.to pray with me and guide me spiritually. Please do not patronize this so called church. They smile when they take your money and shut the door on you when you need help. Please find a church that provides a true channel to the Word of God, Not this deplorable excuse for a church.
