A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR, FATHER PAUL:
During the month of January, we are introducing a new program at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish: The Grateful Discipleship Program. This initiative asks us all to examine the ways we can work together to strengthen the Church in Medford, and beyond, by committing ourselves to the missionary work of evangelization – the work of bringing the Gospel of Christ to all people. Please visit the Grateful Discipleship Program tab located on the blue navigation ribbon at the top of our website to learn more about this program, participate in a Bible Study on Stewardship and discern how God is calling you to give your gifts of time, talent and treasure. |

GRAND ANNUAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE
We are approaching the end of our Grand Annual Campaign!
We are so grateful to all the parishioners who have supported our Parish through this campaign! With the final month left to go, we still have some ground to cover. Your help in reaching our goal is needed and most appreciated!
This collection is critical to maintaining the financial stability of our parishes, especially during this challenging time of pandemic. Our Weekly Offertory alone doesn’t cover all our operating expenses. The Grand Annual collection is the bridge that allows us to do so. Especially at this time of year, this collection helps us meet the increased utilities and maintenance costs associated with the cold winter months that are upon us.
The campaign will be in effect until January 31, 2021. If you haven’t made your contribution, we respectfully ask for your prayerful consideration and generosity. We also offer an on-line donation option, for your convenience. It can be accessed by clicking here.
Following is a summary of the campaign’s progress to date:
Mary, Queen of Peace Parish
St. Joseph & St. Francis of Assisi Churches
Goal: $80,000
$ Collected: $52,012
% Collected: 65%
