Dear Families and Friends of OLQP:
At OLQP, we express our thanks in many ways. We thank God every day at prayer for the many graces and blessings we receive. We give thanks each Friday at Mass. Each week, when we celebrate student and staff birthdays, we thank God for the "unique and unrepeatable" gift that each person is and for their gifts and talents. Our second grade class thanked veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces in a special way for Veterans Day with their program and thank you notes. We try to recognize, with our "shout outs" those who go "above and beyond" in service to our school. When we participate in service projects that benefit those who are less fortunate, we are expressing our gratitude to God for what we have. This community is blessed in so many ways. Working together, living the Beatitudes, we really can have Heaven on Earth right here, right now.
On behalf of the staff of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School, know that our prayer for you is a holiday filled with family and memory-making moments. Thank you for being part of the mission and ministry of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,
Mrs. Marianne Mechura, M.Ed.
