Our Lady of Ostrabrama stands majestically on Depot Lane in Cutchogue and is a testament to a small group of Polish immigrants who came to the Cutchogue area in the early 1900’s. In 1908, they created a society in honor of St.Josaphat. It's purpose was to organize and support the immigrants in their efforts to receive permission to have Polish chapel which would serve their needs in the only language they understood, Polish.
In 1912, after considerable discussion, the chapel was moved from it's original location on the Main Road in Cutchogue across farm fields to Depot Lane. However, in 1918, it was destroyed by a fire. The cornerstone for the present church building was dedicated in October, 1919. We continue to embrace the Polish heritage of our original members and have happily welcomed new members from many backgrounds to form a new family in Christ.
THANKSGIVING BASKETS: Some families share a tradition of putting together a Thanksgiving basket for local families who cannot afford a holiday meal. Suggested is a gift card for the meat portion (which solves the problems of refrigerating the turkey) and all the basics for a family of four. Our Parish Outreach on the corner of Front Street and 6th Avenue in Greenport will gratefully accept any such “meal in a box” at the Outreach Pantry in the school opposite St. Agnes Church (enter the front door and walk upstairs) from 10 AM to 12:45 PM, from November 18 - 21. May our Lord richly bless you for brightening up the holiday for others.
