Transfiguration Roman Catholic Church

[1] Belonging to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, its current pastor is Msgr.

The purpose of building it was to serve a community of Lithuanian immigrants who settled in Maspeth and the Blissville section of Long Island City.

St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church then moved to a new location on Maspeth Avenue and 61st Street.

[3] At present, the church's front lawn houses within its yard a replica of a Lithuanian roadside shrine.

A distinctive feature of the interior of the church building are decorations influenced by Lithuanian folk art.

The religious phrase written in the Lithuanian language, Mano Namai Maldos Namai ("My house is a house of prayer") is displayed above the main entrance doors of the Transfiguration Roman Catholic Church in Maspeth, Queens, New York.
