 Queen of the Apostles Parish “Hope and Peace Mission 2020” is coming soon with Music and Evangelization. The necessity for spiritual renewal is a constant challenge to every Christian. We can never say “I’ve done all I can do.” The road to eternal life stretches out before us. But we are not traveling it alone. Jesus is with us and came to show us the way.

Remember the Dates: February 8th and February 9th when Marty Rotella will integrate his gift of music with a unique preaching style at our 3 Weekend Masses. Special Mission services will take place Sunday evening February 9 (6pm), Monday evening, February 10 (6pm), and Tuesday evening, February 11 (6pm) and will be conducted each day at 8:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m.

The Theme for our Mission is: “HOPE AND PEACE WITH MUSIC AND GOOD NEWS.”  We ask that you pray for these days of renewal and that you would encourage and invite others to join us for these special Parish days of reflection and prayer with Music and Good News.
