St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church of New York

St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church sits at 181-14 Midland Parkway in Jamaica Estates, Queens, as a parish of the Orthodox Church in America's Albanian Archdiocese, Mid-Atlantic Deanery. The community traces its origin to 1914, when it was founded on Manhattan's West Side, and later relocated to Queens, where the current church building was dedicated in 1970.

The parish describes itself as "a community of believers committed to a shared life, learning to love God, each other, and our whole world through the practice of our faith." Worship anchors the week: Vespers Saturday at 5:00 PM, Divine Liturgy Sunday at 10:00 AM, with Sunday School following Communion. Confessions are heard by appointment, at Vespers, or on weekdays, and a monthly calendar covers additional services.

Beyond the liturgical cycle, the church office arranges baptisms, marriages, memorials, the Service of Healing (Holy Unction), house blessings, adult education, and hospital or home visitation. The choir is directed by James Liolin, and the parish council is chaired by Louis Foundos. Rev. Nicholas Skhulukhia is listed by the OCA as Acting Priest, following a pastoral vacancy that the Albanian Archdiocese announced as of May 1, 2023.

The parish can be reached at 718-380-5684 or through stnicholasalbanian.org, and it maintains an Instagram presence as "St. Nicholas Albanian Orthodox Church." Within the Albanian-American Orthodox community, it represents one of the older continuous parishes, carrying a line from early-twentieth-century Albanian immigrants in Manhattan to the present congregation in Queens.
