2023 CATHOLIC APPEAL
We are so grateful to all who have helped launch a successful 2023 Catholic Appeal campaign here at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish. We have raised $22,395 so far, which means we are at 51% of our goal!
If you have not had a chance to do so, please consider making your gift to the Appeal today by picking up an envelope at church or to make a gift online, please visit www.bostoncatholicappeal.org/donate-now.
Participation from every household in the parish is important and every gift makes a meaningful difference in putting faith into action to support the parishes, schools, and communities within our Archdiocese. Please note that this campaign is an assessment to our parish. This means that, if we don’t make our goal, the parish has to make up the shortfall from our limited funds.
Thank you for responding in faith, hope, and charity by making a gift to the 2023 Catholic Appeal. We are stronger together and your generosity is greatly appreciated!
Parish Lenten Mission

The Adult Choir sings at the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays at Saint Francis of Assisi Church. They meet at 11:00 a.m. to prepare for Mass and then stay after Mass for about 45 minutes to rehearse for upcoming liturgies. Any singers who are able to commit some time to join us in the loft at Saint Francis should contact Shawn or Mark as noted above.

Grand Annual Campaign Update
Goal: $80,000
Amount Collected: $69,190
Percent Collected: 86%
Our Campaign has come to a close. THANK YOU to all who made a contribution to the Grand Annual campaign. We are so grateful for your generous support!
This collection is critical to maintaining the financial stability of our parish. Our Weekly Offertory alone doesn’t cover all our operating expenses, so our Grand Annual collection is the bridge that allows us to do so. Especially at this time of year, this collection helps us meet the increased utilities and maintenance costs associated with the cold months of winter.
It’s not too late to make a donation to this campaign! We offer an on-line donation option for your convenience which can be accessed here: Donate Now
