Month's Mind Requiem Mass
Our Lady Queen of Peace would like to invite all of their former patrons, as well as, new ones to come to their Monthly Mind Mass.
They hold monthly Masses in their outdoor chapel for those laid to rest during the previous month, all of the deceased at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery, and all of the Holy Souls in Purgatory. These Masses are always on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. in the outdoor chapel.

Requiem derives from the first word of the Latin introit: “Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine (Eternal rest grant unto them [him/her], O Lord).” The text may be inspired by a passage in an ancient work, 2 Esdras 2:34-35: “Therefore I say to you, O nations that hear and understand, ‘Await your shepherd; he will give you everlasting rest because he who will come at the end of the age is close at hand. Be ready for the rewards of the kingdom, because the eternal light will shine upon you for evermore.’”
