Brooklyn Diocese says Maspeth’s Transfiguration Church will not be closed or sold

The Diocese of Brooklyn has announced that the Church of the Transfiguration in Maspeth will remain open on a “limited basis” following reports that the church was set to be closed down earlier in the summer.

The church, located at 64-25 Perry Ave., has stood as a historic institution for members of both the Maspeth and Lithuanian communities for generations.
