I am asking all our parishioners to take the

following precautions to help mitigate the effects of the influenza (flu).

Parishioners are asked not to shake hands with the Priest, Deacons, Altar Servers and Eucharistic Ministers before/after Mass.

Parishioners are asked to share the Sign of Peace with fellow parishioners without touching

hands or kissing. This can be done with meaningful eye contact, smiles,

and a bow of the head in reverence to one another or the Holy Wave.

Thank you, Father Beck

Eucharistic Ministry

With Spring right around the corner we will be doing a little spring cleaning

in the Sacristy.

removing all remaining albs on February 6, 2017.

His Excellency, the Most Reverend Joseph C. Bambera, D.D., J.C.L.,

Bishop of Scranton, and the Office for Parish Life wish to invite couples celebrating their 25

th

or 50th

wedding anniversary in 2017 to a diocesan Wedding Anniversary Mass on

Sunday, June 11. The event includes a 2:30 pm Mass at

St. Peter’s Cathedral followed by a reception. Requests for an invitation, with a mailing

address, should be made through your pastor before March 13, 2017

The choir and the music ministry are looking for singers in all voice ranges, and other

instrumental musicians. For the choir, it's not essential that you be a trained singer and you don't need to stand out. We need singers who will blend and not be heard above the rest. If

you wish to be heard then perhaps you'd like to lead the congregation in song as a cantor, there

are opportunities for that as well. Please call or email your name,

phone number and email address to the rectory staff at 570 226-3183 or

qpparishsec@gmail.com. In the subject line type "music ministry".

Sacrament of the Sick

If anyone is seriously ill at home, please notify the Rectory office at 226-3183.

Please do not wait until your loved one is at a critical point to be anointed.

If you or a loved one is being hospitalized please tell the hospital when they are being

admitted or as soon as possible that they are Catholic. Hospitals no longer ask this

question.

If you or a loved one is homebound and would like to receive the Most Blessed Sacrament,

please call the Rectory Office.

Young people who will be entering Third grade or higher are invited to

become involved in the ministry of Altar Server.

If this sounds like something you’d like to do,

call the Rectory at 226-3183

Attention all Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers And Altar Servers

The ‘Tear Off’ forms for the next ministry schedule are due TODAY Please contact the rectory if you have not turned this form in. Thank You!

Newly engaged couples must speak with a priest before making

any other arrangements for the wedding. There should be at least

SIX MONTHS between meeting with the priest and the date of

the ceremony. All engaged couples in the Diocese of Scranton

are required to attend Pre-Cana Classes.

It is now possible to go paperless at Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of

Peace and St. Veronica Parish.

Published Intentions

There are certain intentions that are available, for a week at a time. People may do this, so

as a parish family we may pray for those persons who may need it, who have helped

others, or just because we wish them prayers.

Candles (The Tabernacle or The

Blessed Mother) may be lit in memory

of a loved one or for special occasions,

healing, or thanksgiving.

Flowers for the Altar for either

church may be purchased for the

same purpose.

Prayer Box One prayer box is

to pray for people that are ill or

just need the prayers. There is

another box so we may pray for

those who have just been bap-

tized, have just joined the parish, newly mar-

ried, or have recently passed on.

If you wish to reserve a candle, purchase flowers for either Altar or

put a name of a loved one in a prayer box, please contact the Rectory Office Email: qpparishsec@gmail.com

Phone: 570-226-3183
