Mission Statement

MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church is dedicated to witnessing the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Chapter 25:31-46. Our mission is to nurture the spirit and to encourage the potential of those we serve through liturgical celebration, educational endeavors and social ministries. The parish will continue to identify with its origin as a Black parish. As a multi-ethnic congregation we will seek to promote racial harmony and social justice. While our primary focus is within the immediate community, we will also work to provide for the well-being of the downtrodden everywhere. In this we strive for our parish community to be a caring, sharing, and loving family.

About This Cause

The history of Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) is written in the dedication, loyalty, hard work and prayers of countless people who gave life to a dream. It represents the culmination of the courageous efforts of a small group of Black Catholics who took Jesus at His word and laid the foundation for a worshiping community that would welcome all as sisters and brothers, and as members of the great family of God. Outreach programs include: Food Pantry with weekly food distribution to nearly 650 families per week (up from 250 pre-Covid-19 pandemic); Matt 25 Bazaar used clothing outlet; Emergency Assistance fund for rent and utilities.
