MARY QUEEN OF PEACE PARISH
MISSION STATEMENT
We are a welcoming, evangelizing, worshipping
parish community, encouraging all to
step into a deeper spiritual encounter and
loving experience with our Lord Jesus Christ.
We pray for peace, love, truth, and social justice
through active stewardship - notably through our
advocate - Mother Mary. We proclaim
the promise of the Kingdom of God and
the grace - filled nourishment that comes when
our humanness becomes one with God’s
Divinity in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

We are Gifted and We Are Called When disciples of Jesus Christ act in a gracious manner to all those they meet,
they provide a glimpse of home. This home is not in a house in a particular
location, but it is a home prepared for all of us for eternity. No matter how
comfortable we may be in our earthly homes, it truly pales in comparison to
eternity with God. In that heavenly home, there is no darkness, only light. There
are no tears, only joy. There is no hate, only love. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out,
he found him and said,
“Do you believe in the Son of Man?” (Jn 9:35)
We Wish to thank our
Parish’s Volunteers &
Benefactors!

We are now about halfway through Lent and it can be easy for us
to become frustrated if we experience trails or
downtime in our lives. Let us be honest, most of us
have failed at keeping our Lenten resolutions. We
must remember that we have time left to work on our
goals. Keep in mind that Jesus knows our weaknesses
and we have his assurance he will walk with us.
PRAYER PETITIONS: Pope’s March Intention: Catholics in
China. That the Church in China may persevere in its faithfulness
to the Gospel and grow in unity.

Mary Queen of Peace is
responding to Bishop Warfel's
invitation to join this nationwide
effort to assess, expand, and
communicate resources to
pregnant moms and families in need. You will be hearing more
throughout the year. We will begin with Spiritual Adoption on
March 25th, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord and
the 25th anniversary of the papal encyclical Evangelium vitae
(The Gospel of Life). Spiritual Adoption is a family friendly
program based on an idea by Archbishop Fulton Sheen in which
participants pray for a specific, but unknown, unborn child
during the nine months of development in the womb. The
spiritually adopted child is known only to God. We will provide
development updates throughout the nine months so you can
follow the baby's development. We encourage you to name the
baby that you are praying for. Spiritual Adoption emphasizes the
power of prayer in safeguarding life in the mother's womb. Our
prayers can also be a form of spiritual support for both of the
baby's parents. Please prayerfully consider adopting a baby. We
will have prayer cards available for you at the table in the back
entry.
