My younger sister got a coffee can and will put her allowance any change you found and actually got people to donate money and she offered it to the church. Even though we grew up in East Islip went to St Mary's Church in Saint Mary's School.... then all girls Catholic High School the Academy of Saint Joseph. All religious institutions regardless of the religion are beautiful structures. It's always best to restore them to the original beauty the best you can.

My first visit to St Elizabeth Church was to attend a family baptismal. The church is on a popular…read moreroad in a beautiful neighborhood of the Town of Huntington. The Cathedral is fairly large with plenty of seating for any given service or religious affairs. The church was performing three baptismal at the same time, but given the status of the current pandemic, they did an outstanding job to mitigate exposure to the virus inside the church. The father was wearing a mask while performing the service, which made it difficult to hear him. However, the service was wonderfully translated and surprisingly the young baptismal children did not even cry during the service. I have visited many beautifully architecturally designed churches in the United States and as well as Europe. By common nature, the church is meant to encourage and deliver its patrons hope in something greater than themselves. I often notice that its intonation are interpreted in the design of the altar and the ceilings of a given cathedral. St Elizabeth has demonstrated that impression by their beautifully architecturally designed altar and overall interior design.

The 80 foot high dome contains a Cyclus of 12 paintings in the Fresco Buono style (same as the Sistine Chapel). The altar was completed of Carrara marble from Italy and was shipped to the US to be installed for Christmas Mass in 1913. The Romanesque design is based on the Church of San Stefano in Bologna, Italy. At the time, St. Joseph Church was the only church of its kind in the United Stated because of its unique all-brick structure. It is truly an incredible space that can compete with any (Non- Cathedral )Church in the United States. I may be biased because I was baptized and raised in this Church and parish.. But if you are from out of town and considering this Church for a wedding... you will NOT be disappointed. Im not even a fanatical Catholic... but their is no denying the beauty and sanctity of this amazing structure. Thanks !
