Holy Week at Mary Our Queen

We welcome you home for Holy Week at Mary Our Queen! 

Have you been searching for a new parish to call home? We invite you to become part of our Family at Mary Our Queen. If you have been away from the Church but now feel a calling to return, we welcome you back with love and acceptance!

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,  with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him, you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. ~ Ephesians 2:19-22

Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday: Join us for the Divine Mercy Chaplet after each Mass on April 6 & 7

How should we prepare for this great Feast of Mercy? Jesus promised He would “grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My Mercy” (Diary of St. Faustina, 1109). We encourage everyone to take advantage of this incredible promise and the additional Plenary Indulgence on this great Feast of Mercy. The Image of The Divine Mercy, which Our Lord requested to be solemnly blessed and venerated on this day, will be displayed in our church.

 

Come to the Table Ministry

Come to the Table

Come to the Table is a chance to get to know one another better by sharing a meal. It is a way for the adult members of our church to meet other people in the church in an informal home setting.

How it works:

For each round of Come to the Table, groups are formed to combine couples and singles for a meal at a host’s home. Group sizes are usually eight but can be 6 or 10 depending on what the hosts can accommodate. This size ensures that the group is large enough to meet new people and small enough for all to be involved in conversation.

Hosts will contact the folks assigned to their group to arrange a date that works for all starting in April. Get togethers will be scheduled every other month.

Once a date is established, participants agree on what they will bring to the dinner. These dinners are not intended to be gourmet events, they are gatherings to get to know one another better so any level of culinary expertise is welcome!

How to get involved:

Getting involved is as easy as providing some simple information on the form below including whether you are willing to host. You can join as a single, a couple or a couple of friends who enjoy spending time together. Non- Catholic spouses or friends are absolutely a welcome part of these dinners.

Please join us for our fun gatherings by submitting the form below.

Coffeehouse Catholics Adult Faith Formation Series

ALL PARISH ADULTS are welcome to the “Coffeehouse” after the 8:30 a.m. Mass. We invite all parish adults to enjoy coffee and refreshments, followed by a presentation in Saint Joseph’s Hall. Presenters and topics vary. At times, we will have a series of talks; at others, we will offer a talk or discussion on a specific issue.
We also invite ALL PARENTS of the parish to join us once a month to discuss how to approach tough topics with your kids in today’s culture. This year, in Parent Faith Formation, we will use Pope Saint John Paul II’s work, Theology of the Body, to understand how to approach certain issues surrounding human dignity and sexuality with our kids. We will discuss issues such as modesty, dating, gender dysphoria, and pornography. These are difficult but important conversations, and we hope all parish parents will join us.

Adult and Parent Faith Formation
St. Joseph’s Hall
Theology of the Body And Modesty
Sunday, 3/17 | 9:30am
