On May 15, Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama signed the most comprehensive anti-abortion bill in the United States. Most likely, the bill will make its way to the Supreme Court. It was specifically crafted to challenge the federal government’s protection of abortion under Roe v. Wade.

Abortion advocates immediately reacted. Outrage!

From the Desk of Father Ed:
Dear Parishioners:

In the four years that I have been here at Our Lady Queen of Peace parish I have met numerous visitors who have stopped along the highway to spend some time on the church grounds. They generally sit in the parking lot or on one of the benches looking out at the pond. Sometimes walking by they stop me and share with me the peacefulness they have experienced here. The grounds are especially beautiful this spring with all the rain that we have had. It is no wonder that we give this month of May to honor our Blessed Mother.

Novena in Honor of the Holy Spirit Friday
May 31st through Saturday June 8th

The novena in honor of the Holy Spirit is the oldest of all novenas since it was first made at the direction of Our Lord Himself when He sent His apostles back to Jerusalem to await the coming of the Holy Spirit on the first Pentecost. It is a powerful plea for the light and strength and love so sorely needed by every Christian.
