Queen of Peace Church - Queen of Peace Parish
Queen of Peace Church Life Center, 2018 Ironwood Circle, South Bend On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., the Bishop will consecrate the altar and Chapel of Divine Mercy at the Life Center, followed by lunch with the Bishop. Please email [email protected] or call (574) 286-7860. 4508 Vistula Road Mishawaka, IN 46544 574-255-9674 www.queenofpeace.cc CRHP Women’s Team 7 CRHP Women’s Team 6 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time pg. 2 October 6, 2013 FROM THE PASTOR WE HAVE ONLY DONE OUR DUTY The second part of our Gospel today gives us the right disposition for a Christian stewardship and services. Christ says, that even when we have done all we are expected to do, we still can’t make any demands on God or claim any credit. Rather we should have the demeanor of a slave and say “We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do”. I look forward with great hope that our Family of Faith will respond with enthusiasm and generosity to the Bishop’s Appeal as we have always done in the past, keeping in mind that our family of Faith extends beyond our parish boundary. Once again I call on all the men who have not gone through the Christ Renews His Parish Retreat to heed the loving invitation of God to sign up this weekend. Finally, I call on every one to join us at Queen of Peace, during the 40 Day for Life Campaign for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from Monday to Friday, at 7:00 - 8:00 AM to pray and bear public witness for those who are yet to have a voice, invite a friend also. May the Lord God, help us to serve Him, not out of a sense of duty like a slave but out of love as a loving child. GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD FOR HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER ~ Fr.
