St. Gregory of Nyssa Orthodox Church was founded in 1981. It began as a mission to Queens University students in a family home. It later met in a chapel at the university, then became a house-church, then moved to a strip mall storefront. The parish then began renting the basement of an Anglican church in Heritage Cemetery at Cataraqui, and later moved into the red brick building across from the Anglican church.
