Celebration of Ministry

Please join us as we celebrate 75 years of faith in action

This annual event is a joyful gathering where friends from across the Diocese of Long Island come together to share a meal, celebrate ministry, and witness how our faith comes to life through service. The Celebration of Ministry is a chance to spend an evening with the community leaders and change-makers who create real impact in their communities.
