Church of St. Mel, Flushing, NY

Records indicated that St. Patrick, reputedly St. Mel's uncle, appointed him the first Bishop of Ardagh, in County Longford, Ireland. There he built a monastery, which he governed as its abbot. It was he who gave the veil of religion to St. Brigid. His feast day is February 6th. St. Mel Church, Flushing, emanates from thoughts of this blessed fifth-century saint. It was founded in February, 1941. From its inception, it has been closely and intimately linked with the particular Flushing community whose spiritual needs it serves.
