___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ATTENTION OLQP PARISH COMMUNITY Parking Lot Repaving The Parking Lot will be closed Thursday and Friday June 19th and 20th for paving and stripping. A full 48 hours will be needed to complete the job. The Ministry Center will also be closed during this me. Buildings that can be entered from 19th St or Edgewood St will be open for Masses and meetings and ministry access (Church, Parish Office Building, Hall, 1915 Edgewood St). Please plan to park on the street. The parking lot will open again Saturday morning. WE’RE CELEBRATING PARISH GRADUATES Each year, OLQP proudly honors parish graduates by publishing their picture in the Graduation Bulletin. We include middle school, high school and college. If you would like your graduate’s picture in the bulletin, please email the photo to [email protected] and include a notation with the graduate’s name and school. Please indicate “graduation bulletin” in the subject line of your message. Deadline is Sunday, June 22 (for publication in the June 28-29 Graduation Bulletin). FAMILY-FRIENDLY SERVICE OPPORTUNITY ON JUNETEENTH, June 19 Please join us on Juneteenth to help weed and dignify the forgotten grave sites of thousands of enslaved and freed African Americans at the Mount Zion and Female Union Band Society Cemetery of Georgetown (2501 Mill Road, NW DC).

This family-friendly service opportunity also entails a tour of the Underground Railroad, a libation ceremony, and a picnic lunch. You can register here: (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/juneteenth-in-georgetown-tickets-1397070999969?aff=oddtdtcreator). All are welcome! STEPHEN MINISTRY AND FORMER FEDERAL EMPLOYEES Northern Virginia is a “company town” -- the “company” being the federal government. Over the years, we have experienced a number of disruptions: RIFs (Reduction in Force) and hiring freezes. These pale compared to recent events when thousands of highly skilled, dedicated federal workers were fired, without notice and without dignity, informed they represented “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Friends and families in our neighborhoods have felt the devastating impact. The press seems to have moved on, but for the dismissed workers struggling to regain stability, please know you have not been forgotten. Stephen Ministry at OLQP can provide individual support and walk with you through this process, compassionately, confidentially, and respectfully at the pace you set. You do not have to be a member of our parish or a practicing Catholic. If you have questions or would like more information about Stephen Ministry contact: [email protected] or 703-635-0469. MEDOR UPDATE: The last day of class for the children attending St. Joseph parish’s secondary school and five primary schools is on June 17, this Tuesday. However, the 9th and 13th grade students will continue receiving instruction, in preparation for their National Exams. 9th graders must pass the 9th grade exam in order to enroll in the 10th grade, and 13th grade (philo) students must pass the Baccalaureate Exam in order to receive a high school diploma and be eligible to study at a university. The 9th grade exam is scheduled for June 30-July 3; the Baccalaureate Exam will take place on July 14-17. Today on the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, as we say “Alleluia, Alleluia. Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come. Alleluia, alleluia” let’s ask God to bless the students in Medor and to grant peace and security in Haiti. GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION MINISTRY Recent studies show that 42% of students (K-12) feel an increase in anxiety and 39% an increase in feelings of depression for up to 90 days after active shooter drills. (Georgia Tech) All around the country, people are coming together in June to spread a simple message: We can end gun violence! Our community's commitment to learning, educating, and promoting peace at home and elsewhere is sending a powerful signal that change is possible. Thank you to the community members who made it out to the Arlington Commemoration Walk last weekend. If you or somebody you know would like to get involved or need additional resources, check Fairfax, Arlington, or Alexandria County resources pages. For more information on the OLQP's commitment to ending gun violence, contact Ryan Page at [email protected]. REFUGEE/IMMIGRANT MINISTRY is looking for donations of pots and pans, utensils, small appliances, towels, shower curtains, bathmats, sheets, and comforters. New and gently used items can be left in the Matt 25 bin. (The bins are out Saturday – Tuesday, 9-12noon and Wednesdays 9-7pm (no donations accepted on Thursdays and Fridays).

ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: Join “Fed Up” for community building and concrete suggestions for job searches and resumes on Tuesday, July 1, from 7 - 9pm. We meet in Father Ray Hall Library. ECO-TIP from the Integrity of Creation Ministry: Save energy and money on cooling this summer: Close blinds/curtains during the day to block out the sun’s heat. Use fans to provide additional cooling when directed at people (set ceiling fans to counter-clockwise). Turn fans off when not in the room. Raise the thermostat temperature towards the outside temperature when you’re away and in rooms you’re not occupying. Have your cooling system serviced appropriately and keep vents/filters clean.
