Kindness

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in cans for our canned food drive. All donated cans will go to stock one of the four pantries in Lexington. Did you know that in Lexington alone, God's Pantry feeds over 2000 families a month? That requires over 190,000 pounds of food each month. Will you help us to stock the shelves? You can send in cans this week and we will also have food barrels available in the gathering space at church. Thank you.

Please note a change in our Mass schedule - we won't have Mass on Wednesday, Feb. 27 due to a priests' conference. Our Mass that week will be Friday, Mar. 1. Following the Mass on Mar. 1 will be our Awards ceremony for the second trimester of school. Everyone is welcome!
Valentine's Day
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! In celebration of Valentine's Day, students may wear Valentine's accessories. Accessories are anything that can be worn with the uniform, including hats, socks, pins and sweaters. Make-up, hair color and nail polish are not considered an accessory.

As part of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government plans to widen Clays Mill Road, Columbia Gas of Kentucky is required to relocate existing natural gas pipelines on and along Clays Mill Road.

This mandated relocation work will require digging and heavy equipment use and could result in temporary traffic restrictions or delays before, during and after school hours. Columbia Gas and its contractor, Stanley Pipeline, will primarily be on site from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Construction is expected to start on Monday, Feb. 18, beginning at Waco Road and progressing over the coming months toward Stratford Drive. A secured staging area, where supplies for the project will be stored, is located behind the parking lot of True Hope Church on Hill N’ Dale Road.

Motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to exercise caution, reduce speed and obey flaggers and posted signs in the construction zone.

If you have any questions or concerns about Columbia Gas work, please call the company’s Pipeline Replacement Hotline at 1-800-562-8970, Option 3, Ext. 6355. 
NO SCHOOL on Monday for President's Day.

It is our honor to announce the formation of the Linda Rukavina Scholarship - designated to help make the Kindergarten experience at Mary Queen School more attainable. Teachers touch our lives in the most profound ways. Mary Queen was blessed to have one such teacher, Linda Rukavina, from 1995-2015. Mrs. Rukavina made an impact on many as a teacher of Kindergarten aged students. Her patience, care and ability to connect with the young student made her a true gem. Mrs. Rukavina loved the children and teaching at Mary Queen School. Please - help us join together to honor Mrs. Rukavina by helping make the Kindergarten experience more attainable for others.
