History of the New York South Mission

The New York South Mission enjoys a significant heritage and legacy handed down from the Eastern States Mission (the second oldest mission in the Church) with past historic mission presidents as Parley P. Pratt, John Taylor, and Wilford Woodruff. This mission also pioneered the future of the Church's Visitors' Center program worldwide through the Mormon pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1964 and 1965, just a few miles from the mission office. Today the mission covers Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island and the island of Bermuda.
