All Saints History
All Saints Mission was founded in 1897 in South Richmond Hill (then called Morris Park) as a mission of Church of the Resurrection in Kew Gardens. It became a parish in 1938. In 2013, All Saints moved to Woodhaven (into the former St. Matthew’s Church). The church also maintains the historic Wyckoff-Snedicker Cemetery where members of some of the founding families of Queens and Brooklyn are buried.
All Saints Church acknowledges that our former and current locations are situated on ancestral land originally belonging to the Lenape (Lenapehoking) tribe of Indigenous Americans, who were violently displaced as a result of European settler colonialism over the course of 400 years (NYC Commission on Human Rights Acknowledgement).
