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!

Coronavirus Updates:

Our Lady Queen of Peace is CLOSED until further notice!

Those who need the Anointing of the Sick due to serious illness or who face imminent death and need Last Rites, please call the parish emergency line: 973-948-7951. Non-emergency calls on this line will not be appreciated.

We ought to also remember Pope Boniface VIII's Rule of Law No. 6: "Nemo potest ad impossibile obligari - No one can be obliged to the impossible." Thus, at this unique time in our Nation's and Church's history, one is clearly not obligated to fulfill the Divine Precept of the Third Commandment and our  obligation to attend Mass on all Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation ceases.

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. Mass will be live-streamed on Instagram at 10 am  each day moving forward. Instagram is a free and safe app to download on your phone by going to the AppStore or GooglePlay. It can also be subscribed to online: www.instagram.com. You then request Fr. Phil (@fr.phil) as a "friend" and he will add you. 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", click on it and you will connect to the livestream of Mass.
