From Our Mission Statement...

Mary Queen of Heaven is a compassionate community of faith that strives to exemplify Christ’s mission. In the spirit of Vatican II, we take our role as the People of God seriously and value the participation and empowerment of the laity in the mission of the church. We appreciate the history of this faith community, its generous spirit, and openness to the future, knowing that the Spirit of God is truly guiding us...

We are a welcoming community that seeks to provide a place of comfort and an atmosphere of acceptance and love for all. We have diverse needs and talents and different experiences and images of God. We recognize the value of family and understand that in order to live God’s Word we must strive to support all the families of our parish. Together, we have a strong sense of being part of God’s family; we are connected to one another and believe we are accountable to one another. We want Mary Queen of Heaven to be a place where everyone feels valued. We place an importance on inviting others to join us on our journey of faith. We enjoy being with each other and we enjoy worshipping God, through powerful liturgies with beautiful music. We are God’s people, living our lives through faith, hope, and loving service.

Religious Education News - Registration

We ask that you please take a moment and send in your registration for the 2008-2009 RE year before summer vacation begins. If you did not receive one or know someone who needs one, either call us at the RE office or download the Registration Form 2008-2009 and mail it to the Religious Education office. Everyone is urged to return their forms before the end of the school year to insure choice of session time. Kindergarten and Pre School RE space is limited.

Please consider being a catechist. Each year we lose some of our catechists due to job changes or changes in ministry. This year is no different. Currently it looks like we will need catechists and/or aides in Kindergarten, Gr. 3, and Gr. 4 at Session 1, Gr. 2, 4, and possibly 6 at Session 2, and Gr. 5 and 7 at Session 3. If you think God is calling you to help at any of those grade levels, please call the REO and we will talk more about it. Our children depend on you to pass on our faith.

If you have any questions or need more information, please call Mary Ann Woods at the REO, 832-8962.
