"Besides sacramental liturgy and sacramentals, catechesis must take into account the forms of piety and popular devotions among the faithful. the religious sense of the Christian people has always found expression in various forms of piety surrounding the Church's sacramental life, such as the veneration of relics, visits to sanctuaries, pilgrimages, processions, the stations of the cross, religious dances, the rosary, medals, etc. These expressions of piety extend the liturgical life of the Church, but do not replace it. They 'should be so drawn up that they harmonize with the liturgical seasons, accord with the sacred liturgy, are in some way derived from it and lead the people to it, since in fact the liturgy by its very nature is far superior to any of them.' (CCC, 1674-1675)."
At Our Lady Queen of Peace we are rich in the celebration of the devotional life of the Catholic Church. The Rosary is offered after every weekday Mass and after the 8 am Mass on Sundays. We have a twenty-four hour Eucharistic Adoration after First Friday Mass leading us to First Saturday Mass and a breakfast that follows on Saturday morning, to help build and celebrate our community at prayer. We also have the Miraculous Medal Novena on Mondays following the 8 am Mass. There is also a strong devotion to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, to St. Michael the Archangel, the Infant of Prague, St. Benedict and his Neumesmatica (medal) and to St. Francis of Assisi. We look forward to you joining us in our many different devotional prayers that give life to our parish community.
