Margert Community Corporation was founded in 1980 by the R.C. parishes of St. Mary, Star of the Sea, in Far Rockaway, and St. Gertrude s, in Edgemere. The purpose of the corporation is to enable these parishes to serve their communities in the areas of housing, senior citizens, and youth concerns. The focus of our work is to assist poor and lower income individuals and families, and in this way to bring good news, in a practical manner, to the poor. We are currently involved in study and plans that hope to see new, decent and affordable housing built in our communities. Faithful to our mission, we seek housing that will indeed be good news for both homeowners and tenants, and a sign of hope for others. In our plans, we want to be faithful in serving lower-income persons by offering decent and affordable housing in an environment that provides the dignity and services that enable them to improve their lives and the lives of their children and families.
