Friends,

This weekend, as we gather in worship and prayer, we take a special moment to honor and celebrate all mothers — biological mothers, adoptive mothers, spiritual mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and all the women who have nurtured, guided, and loved us with a mother’s heart.

Mother’s Day gives us the opportunity not only to express our gratitude but to reflect on the deep spiritual significance of motherhood. In Scripture, we see the tender strength of mothers — from the protective love of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, to the faithful prayer of Hannah for her son Samuel. These examples remind us of the powerful witness mothers bear to the love, patience, and mercy of God.

To all the mothers in our parish: thank you. Thank you for your sacrifices, your prayers, your example, and your unwavering love. In big ways and small, you reveal God’s love to the world.

For those for whom this day is difficult — those grieving the loss of a mother or child, those who long for motherhood, or those carrying wounds — please know that our hearts and prayers are with you. May the Lord bring you comfort, healing, and hope.

This weekend, we offer our prayers especially for you. May God bless all mothers with strength, peace, and joy. And may our Blessed Mother, Mary, continue to intercede for you and guide you in all that you do.

Wishing you a blessed and joyful Mother’s Day

+Fr. Jim

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
