A Lenten Message from Father Jim…

Friends,

I wanted to take a minute and acknowledge so many people that made Holy Week & Easter Weekend a very special time here at Queen of Peace. I want to thank all those that generously gave of their time and talent at all of the liturgies – the church cleaners, sacristans, ministers of communion, ushers, lectors, musicians and cantors, servers, greeters, our wonderful sisters and of course Deacon Franz and our visiting priests. A special thank you to all of you that donated towards the magnificent Easter flowers for our church and for Jean Ann & George Discavage for decorating the church during Holy week and Easter so beautifully.

We began a new tradition here at the parish – just like we have the Christmas display in December, we now have an inspirational Holy Week and Easter display in our side devotional room. Please take a moment to view the amazing and powerful work of art. A big thank you to Rich and Ron Dominguez that created this amazing gift for our parish.

Thank you personally to everyone that wrote me a card, gave me a gift or money, or dropped off some Easter treats to the rectory. It always warms my heart to see that you remember me during this busy time of year. I truly feel loved here at Queen of Peace. Thank you for giving me an incredible First Easter here in Ardsley. I look forward to all the wonderful parish moments planned throughout these 50 days of Easter.

+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
