"Through the guidance of the Blessed Mother, we strive to help others to know, love and serve our God and each other."

Pastor's Corner: From the Desk of Fr. Dennis Schmidt...

Dear OLQP Family,

Our Lady Queen of Peace parish is rich in history. We have endured much, always to emerge stronger than we were before. OLQP is a parish of tireless workers. Our parish offers many great ministries for our parishioners to be a part of, and each ministry allows the people of the parish to make a difference in our world and also to build community and meaningful relationships. I invite you in a particular way to explore our Knights of Columbus and the Daughters of Isabella.

There are also many educational opportunities, prayer groups, and Bible studies a person can participate in. There are many activities, committees, ministries and organizations within our parish community that you may wish to join. As people of faith, we are called to reflect on God’s blessings in our lives.

I ask you to seek out opportunities to contribute not only to the material support of Our Lady Queen of Peace, but also by the use of our time and talent for the spiritual good of all. I also encourage you all to fill out the Stewardship survey being mailed out this week. If you have multiple members in your household, they can fill out their own online survey here.

Please take time to explore our parish website and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call our parish office for more information. There are many more opportunities for spiritual growth through the year. I truly believe that Our Lady Queen of Peace is a parish where you and your family will feel treasured, protected, and inspired.

Please let us know if there is ever anything, we can do to be of service to you!

God Bless,

Fr. Dennis
Pastor

The Annual Catholic Appeal has resumed after a pause due to the regional shutdown with an invitation to make a gift that will help those in need; many who have been impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak in our archdiocese. Support of the Annual Catholic Appeal means thousands will find grace and mercy and have the resources they need.

As one Body, we make sacrifices for others, not because they are Catholic, but because We Are Catholic! Visit http://aca.archstl.org/ for more information.

OLQP Parish Ministries Highlight

After Weekend Masses
September 12th - 27th

In preparing to celebrate Stewardship Sunday on September 27th, we want to invite you to see just some ways our parishioners give their Time, Treasure and Talents to our parish community and others.

Over a three week period, about 18 or 20 ministries will be showcased in the parking lot immediately outside the church following the weekend masses.

If you are looking for ways to become more involved in our parish community, please visit and see what we have to offer. If you have a special knack or skill that you would like to share with our community, come on out and see which ministry or ministries can benefit from your assistance.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John Bonsanti at john.bonsanti@olqpmo.org or call 636-671-0247.

Adult Faith Formation: Intro to Apologetics

You are invited to join us on Wednesdays this fall as we explore Catholic Apologetics.

Many individuals believe Faith & Reason do not go together. But C.S. Lewis stated: “The Heart cannot celebrate what the mind rejects!” For this truth, we must understand what our faith proclaims.

In this workshop we will explore the basics of our faith using apologetics to explore some of the following topics/questions. What is Apologetics? What evidence outside scripture is there for God’s existance? The divinity of Jesus. How can we talk about faith to people of other faiths or no-faith?

Workshops are all held on Wednesday evenings starting at 6:30pm in the Cafeteria starting September 23rd and running until October 21st.

Cost is $15.00 for book

If you are interested in registering, helping out or just curious for more information, please contact John Bonsanti at 636-671-0247 or john.bonsanti@olqpmo.org
