Welcome to OLQP Catholic Church! Address: 2700 19th Street South Arlington VA 22204
Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church is dedicated to witness-ing 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 liturgi-cal 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 har-mony 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.

MEDOR’S SANITATION PROGRAM - In 1997, there was no clean water or sanitation program in Medor. OLQP introduced a way to purify water with Klorfasil bleach powder and to build la-trines with arbor-loos. When household surveys were conducted early this year, of the nearly 600 households who received the 5-gallon Klorfasil bucket systems in 2016, almost all were treating their water. And 183 families have built a type of family com-posting latrine called an arbor-loo. We were delighted to learn that, although cholera is active in Medor, there have been no cas-es of cholera in the participants in the Klorfasil program or among the school children. Check out Dr. Sue's blog on Medor at marysusancarlson.tumblr.com
Please continue to pray for our sisters and brothers in Haiti.

JUST$ -- As summer vacations begin, children in low income fam-ilies are more likely to be at risk of hunger because they lack ac-cess to regular, nutritious meals.

Striving to right our relationships with God, Others and Creation
Eco Tip: Coral reefs are facing a growing threat from floating ocean plastic. It catches on branches, cutting corals and causing abrasions that expose them to disease and eventual death. Sup-port efforts to keep our oceans and waterways free of trash.
