At the time the parish was founded in 1886, East Harlem was still a relatively rural area. Archbishop Michael Corrigan asked Bonaventure Frey OFMCap to establish a national parish for German Catholics Catholics who had moved north from Yorkville.[2]
Although the church closed in 2007,[4] the parish school remains open. Our Lady Queen of Angels School is a member of Partnership Schools, a network of nine Catholic PreK-8 schools serving Cleveland and New York.[5]
Our Lady Queen of Angels convent is occupied by the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, who operate the "Fr. Solanus Soup Kitchen".[6]
