Friends,
Our parish has collected close to $1000.00 the last four weeks in our new “poor boxes” to help those in our area. The money that we collect every week will be given to The Saint Vincent DePaul Society of Glenside to help all those in need in our area. These boxes can be found near all the doorways of our church. We also collected and donated over 1,000 pounds of Peanut butter, jelly and bread to our local food pantry “Family Promise” in Roslyn.
Thank you! This weekend begins Catholic School’s Week in the Archdiocese. We are happy to hear from our students at the end of each Mass this weekend. To celebrate our regional school – Good Shepherd – We are invited downstairs following Mass to enjoy some goodies and fellowship.
Everyone is invited into our school on Thursday, Jan. 30th from 6pm to 7:15 to walk our halls and view all the wonderful things our students are working on in the classroom. Maybe you have never stepped foot inside of the school across the street from the church, now is your chance. Swing by and take a look at all the beautiful things happening in the school.
I announced last weekend at all of the Masses the terrific news that our very own Father Christ Redcay was named the new rector of Saint Charles Seminary. Father Chris has been coming here to Queen of Peace to help celebrate Mass for two years. We continue to pray for him as he begins this new position in June.
Next weekend is the Feast of Saint Blaise and so we will be blessing throats following all of our weekend Masses.

Help Revive Philadelphia Cursillo!
The Philadelphia Cursillo is taking steps to revive itself. If you experienced a Cursillo weekend in another (arch)diocese and if you are interested in connecting with Cursillo again, please contact Fr. Bill Waters, OSA at h2ososa@aol.com.
The Cursillo in Christianity, is a movement of the Catholic Church whose mission is to spread the message of the Gospel. We are members of Philadelphia Archdiocese parishes who have attended a Cursillo weekend and are fulfilling a promise to be in a lifelong commitment of piety, study and action in our Catholic faith.
Queen of Peace has an Online Giving program available to our parishioners. We have arranged with Vanco Services to provide our members an opportunity to use Electronic Funds Transfer as an alternative method for giving. The Program is free of charge for parishioners. By making your offering through our Online Giving program it allows you to donate once or make a recurring contribution that is automatically transferred from your checking or savings account on a monthly basis, and you select your own billing date. This is an easy way to make your Sunday contributions without worrying about your collection envelope. The use of EFT is not only time saving and convenient for you, but also allows our Parish to realize a more consistent level of support. By signing up for the Online Giving program, you will know that you are doing your part to support the Parish even at times you are not able to physically present to celebrate with the Parish Community. To sign-up simply CLICK HERE.
Of course, if you prefer, your collection envelope is still a great way to support Queen of Peace Parish. Simply drop it in the collection basket on Sunday or you may mail it to the Rectory: 820 North Hills Avenue, Ardsley, PA 19038.
Thank you for your generous support
