Dear Parishioners of Saint Nicholas,
We wish to update you regarding the individual who has been attending Sunday Masses dressed in a sash and white robe while carrying his bible and crucifix since Palm Sunday.
To prioritize the safety of our parish community, we requested police support to assist with his departure after Mass this past Sunday. While we aim to maintain a welcoming environment for all, this decision was made due to safety concerns.
Please be informed that to prevent his entry into the church in the upcoming weeks, we are arranging for a police officer to be present during Sunday Masses. This step is taken to discourage his entrance and ensure the safety of everyone present. We value the compassion shown and the feedback we have received from many of you on this matter.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support as we work to safeguard the well-being of our parish.
Journeying together in Christ,
The Parish Staff

Please consider sponsoring a child in our community to attend the carnival. Thanks to your generosity, we distributed over 150 tickets to school children in need last year
Join Us on May 30th -June 2nd for fun and fellowship with parishioners and the Little Neck Community! In addition to the rides, games, and food, there will be a flea market and two free concerts. Advance discounted tickets are $22 for one single day all you can ride wristband (No multi-day ticket available this year). Prices will be higher at the gate. Games and Food tickets are sold separately. Height or weight restrictions may apply for some of the rides. Tickets are non-refundable. A wristband is not required to enter the carnival grounds. The main ticket booth will sell individual tickets if one wishes to ride specific rides.
If “Spring Cleaning” is your goal, please keep us in mind. St. Nicholas will be holding our Flea Market May 30-June 2. We can use your gently used furniture, housewares, toys, books, sporting goods, holiday decorations, artwork, working electronics, baby items, etc. We are now accepting donations the Monday after Easter. Items can be dropped off in the social hall or in the cabana outside the social hall door. Contact Peggy Rose at 757-648-9988 if you have questions.
The support of our sponsors is what helps us seed the Carnival budget so it’s more than just a fun weekend coming up at the end of May. The success of the carnival has a lasting impact on our ministries all year round. Sponsorships are a unique way to raise support for our ministries because they come from local businesses that would not otherwise give to the church. For businesses, becoming a sponsor is an opportunity to be associated with the biggest event in Little Neck Community.
Do you know anyone who owns a business, works at a business or even patronizes a business that may be interested in becoming a sponsor and advertising at the Carnival? A telephone call that results in even the lowest level of sponsorship will result in more financial support for our ministries than selling 300 hot dogs or 200 cups of beer.
If you are not comfortable asking for money, that’s no problem. Pass a committee member your contact and we can make the ask and share with them the benefits of sponsorship. Click the button below for more information and to access the sponsorship packet.
We've raised $39,700 from our generous sponsors so far this year!
The deadline to become a sponsor is May 15
