Mission Statement of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish
As the spiritual home for Catholics in the West End, we are a family of the One, Holy, Catholic,
and Apostolic Church. We are a Sunday people, remade in Baptism, nurtured by the Eucharist,
and guided by the Holy Spirit. Under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we strive to share
our time, talents, and treasures. We are formed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and proclaim the
Kingdom of God by our words and actions.
(Physical Address: 1402 Route 209 Gilbert, PA 18331)
On the day of her Assumption, Mary was solemnly crowned by Christ and received by the whole court of
Heaven as Queen. We should ever recognize the queen-ly dignity of the Mother of “The King of kings and Lord of lords.” The Blessed Mother continually directs us to the
King with her messages of: Peace, Prayer, Fasting, Reading Sacred Scripture, Monthly Confession and Holy Communion. Please take heed to live these messages
and offer a rosary every day this month as a spiritual gift to the Blessed Mother for her intentions.
