This last year has been an amazing time for our parish! We shared many wonderful opportunities for our faith family to unite in prayer and fellowship. We joined together for the Grow in Grace Parish Leadership Retreat and introduced the Welcome Retreats for Spiritual Renewal for both men and women. The introduction of the Wednesday evening 6pm Mass allows for those working to attend Mass through the week. All the while, we continue to evangelize to our neighbors and friends by encouraging those in our surrounding community to “Come and See” what Queen of Peace is all about.
All of the wonderful opportunities that we have to build our faith and grow in fellowship could not be possible without the efforts of everyone in our faith family. There is room within our parish home for all of us to participate and give of our time and talent.
As we go forward, let us keep our common goal at the forefront - To grow together in love of God and Neighbor. With this in mind, let us continue to plant and nurture the seeds of faith, hope, and love through the six missions of the pastoral council. These include liturgy and worship, ecumenism, education, evangelization, pastoral/young adult ministry, and social concerns.
Change begins with each and every one of us! Let us all offer all of our gifts - our time, talent and treasure - to grow closer in personal relationship with God and one another in our parish family!
