Among the furnishings in our sanctuary are a few chairs reserved for the priest and other ordained ministers during Mass. While they may seem like ordinary places to sit, these chairs have an important liturgical purpose, particularly the larger chair used by the priest celebrating Mass, commonly called the presider’s chair.

Assurance Pregnancy Center: This nearby agency tests clients for stds and pregnancy . . . . and has a staff that includes nurses and counselors. One of our own parishioners, Myra DeLuca, is now on their staff as well. So delighted to have Myra nearby serving moms, dads, and preborn babes. She’s an amazing addition. Please pray for all of their staff and clients.
Thank you! Someone returned their baby bottle full of coins last weekend. They aren’t due
back until Oct.31/Nov.1.
November 1 – that’s the date when you can begin to drop off gently-used toys and clothes for
the children of our moms in need. We will need items for 71 children of the moms in need.
Donations for ages 1 to 12 – both boys and girls - can be left on the table in the coat room as of November 1.
You may have noticed some shifting around of instruments in the music area recently. The large wooden console that has moved closer to the sanctuary is our organ. Hopefully it has caught your eye as it returns to the location it occupied for much of the history of our church building. READ MORE
On October 1, 1995 3pm our current church was dedicated by Bishop Kendrick Williams.
It was a day full of celebration with a final Mass earlier that day in the previous church
space. The dedication liturgy included the blessing of the church, altar, and tabernacle
and had lots of candles, music, oil, flame, and ceremony. This vivid liturgy remains important
to our church as our space was set apart to incarnate grace and host the presence of Jesus Christ. Because of this, each year October 1st is elevated to be a Solemnity for our parish. READ MORE
Life Goes On –While we hope and pray that our baby bottles get filled this month, life goes on as usual for our moms in need. Some of them continue to request the opportunity to visit the Mary Queen Food Pantry. Others still struggle with monthly expenses. One particular family consists of three females – the grandmother, the mom, and a daughter – two of whom are disabled. With the lower income of females and the complications of disabilities, these moms are especially grateful for the occasional assistance this ministry has provided them. READ MORE
