Selection of a final resting place need not be made
at a time when pressures of the moment are most
stressful. Here at Our Lady Queen of Heaven
Mausoleum Garden, in a calm and relaxed manner,
our staff can help you plan a final resting site well
in advance of serious illness, sorrow and confusion.
Our Lady Queen of Heaven Mausoleum Garden
offers a beautiful, serene resting place; one that
promotes tranquil reflection and enhances feelings
of love with every visit. Our facility includes
private mausoleum crypts and niches, all of which
are tastefully designed and attractively crafted. For
more information please call Mary Ann at the
Parish office at 421-7416 Ext. 302

Have you ever wondered the Church’s official teaching on important issues such as marriage and the family? Have you ever wondered about Church history? Have you ever sat in Mass and wondered why it is we do some of the things we do, like why kneel before you take a seat or what’s up with all the smoke? Do you know a friend or family member who may be interested in joining or returning to the Church? Whether you have a question or someone you know is thinking of returning or joining the Church or just curious about Catholics, please join us every Tuesday night at 7:00pm in the sanctuary with Deacon Keith Fournier.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
Eucharistic Adoration is the First Friday of every month. During the 24 hour
period from 9:00 a.m. Friday until 9:00 a.m. Saturday there is at least one person in the worship space with our Lord. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the
hallway for people who want to schedule an hour or more ahead of time. If you are not “scheduled” but would like to attend Adoration, you can still do so. Anyone can come during that 24 hour time frame. However, if you would like to attend Adoration after the church is locked (between 12:30 p.m. Friday and 8:00 a.m. Saturday, you must call the office for instructions.
