Queens Centenarian’s Faith Shines Bright at St. Teresa of Avila Birthday Celebration

Rosita Lewis never imagined she’d live to 105, but now that she has, she credits God for her longevity.  “Who else would do it? No one else can,” Lewis said. “I love my God, and I talk to him all the time.” Lewis, a beloved parishioner of St. Teresa of Avila Church in South Ozone Park for over 40 years, celebrated the milestone on June 14, three days after her birthday.
