A Brief History
Maria Regina Convent was conceived in 1964 to replace the Infirmary at St. Joseph Convent in Flushing, NY. 
Construction began in late 1965 and extended through early 1968. The Chapel was completed, and the altar was consecrated by Bishop Vincent J. Baldwin, Auxiliary Bishop of Rockville Centre, on April 3, 1968. On Easter Monday, April 15, 1968, the first residents were received at Maria Regina.
Thirty years later, in order to meet the growing demands upon the Sisters of St. Joseph, Brentwood, and Maria Regina Convent, a $10 million plan of reconstruction and improvement was initiated. Construction began November 1999, and the re-dedication ceremony of the facility was held on Sunday, October 14, 2001.
