A historic Queens church, once a beloved community hub, has been lying in pieces in a local cemetery for decades. Now, a group is proposing a $6 million plan to restore the church to its former glory, with the ambitious goal of reassembling the structure on its original site. The project, dubbed a "Hail Mary," is a long shot, but it has sparked renewed hope among local residents who remember the church as a vibrant gathering place. If successful, the restoration would not only preserve a piece of Queens' history but also provide a new community space for the area.
