Our Lady Queen of Peace R.C. Church

We are a Roman Catholic parish family. We respond Christ's call to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in both word and deed, and in all our relationships and responsibilities. We encourage our members to embrace a lifestyle marked by Stewardship of Time, Talent and Treasure, engaging in active support of our ministries of the Word, Worship and Service. We welcome everyone from Branchville, Frankford (Augusta), Lafayette and all who come to share the joy of Christ!

Dispensation from Holy Days of Obligation:
Dispensation from Sundays and other Holy Days of Obligation: Everyone should be aware that the dispensation from the obligation to participate in Sunday and Holy Day Masses remains in effect until further notice. Pope Boniface VIII's Rule of Law No. 6: "Nemo potest ad impossibile obligari - No one can be obliged to the impossible." This means that the obligation to attend Mass is suspended, especially if you have any underlying health conditions, or your age makes you more vulnerable to COVID-19, then you are encouraged to stay home and continue participating in the Liturgy of the Mass through livestreaming or EWTN.

How to Attend Live-Stream Mass:
For the celebration of Sunday Masses and all Daily Masses you will need to subscribe to Fr. Phil's Instagram: @fr.phil. Instagram is a free and safe app to download on your phone by going to the AppStore or GooglePlay. You then request Fr. Phil (@fr.phil) as a friend by "following" him and he will add you. Make sure you do this well in advance of trying to connect to the live-stream. To connect to the livestream, be on your "home" page (what looks like a little house) and at the top you will see circles with people's names underneath. When a circle comes up with "Fr.Phil" and is flashing "Live", tap on it and you will connect to the livestream of Mass.
