SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE Please contact Parish Office and set up an appointment. Any Catholic couple needs approximately a year to prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage, which includes sessions with the Priest celebrating the marriage and attendance at Pre-Cana conferences.

SACRAMENT OF THE SICK / HOSPITAL VISITS We are strongly committed to the spiritual care of the sick. Because of privacy laws, hospitals and nursing homes are not allowed to release the patient’s religious affiliation. Therefore, we must depend on families of our sick parishioners to inform us of their whereabouts and condition. Please notify the parish office of any need for a home or hospital visit.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Let us dedicate our families and ourselves to the powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother—Mary Most Holy.

Dear Friends in Christ,

As we face difficult and unprecedented times; as your Pas-tor, I assure you of my prayers. I offer a private Mass daily for you and all your intentions.

Today I would like to ask you to join me in prayer and take on a new initiative. I am asking all our parishioners and friends of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish to display an image of the Blessed Mother in a visible window in your home, and light a candle so She may shine as a light of hope and love to all of us. More importantly, I ask you to join me in praying the Holy Rosary and Divine Mercy Chap-let.

Let us show our local community, our mutual support and compassion in this challenging time.

May God Bless you abundantly,

Fr. Kamil Stachowiak
