Howard Beach, NY 11414
St. Helen's School is creating an alumni association. We are in the process of compiling a list of former students by graduation year.
Our students, the adult Catholics of the 21st. Century, will possess the skills, attitudes and values necessary to be a contributing member of society.
Because of their deep reverence for all God's creations, they will share their gifts and talents in promoting a sense of respect, dignity and equality for all especially for the poor and needy.
Their strong belief in the providential love of God will enable them to face the challenges and responsibilities associated with this complex technological age.
