CANCELLED: YA Advent Day of Reflection (Was scheduled for Saturday, December 7, at 8am) THANKSGIVING Fill-a-Basket Program Thank you for your generosity – with the enormity of your help our food pantry offered more than 900 Thanksgiving food baskets to the community! We are very grateful for your donations and volunteer hours and for your continued support. Thank you again and again. REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES: The Book of Life The month of November is traditionally a time of remembering and giving thanks for the many blessings God has given us in our lives. In this light, we call attention to the Book of Life in our sanctuary. We invite anyone who has experienced a loss this past year to add the name of that person to our Book of Life at the end of Mass. This will be a continual reminder to us year round of those who have gone before us marked with the sign of the faith and the need to reach out to those who have suffered a recent loss. YOUTH MINISTRY – Holiday Weekend Updates There will be no Homework Hub or Youth Group, Sunday, December 1st due to the Thanksgiving holiday. We will resume on Sunday, December 8th. Thank you to all our families and the entire OLQP community for your continued support of our future saints. Happy Thanksgiving! CANCELLED: TAU YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY -- Join us for our Advent Morning of Reflection, Saturday, December 7th, 8:00am – 12:00pm.

Please know that our clients are petite, and long coats linger in the store because most are too long to wear. Please consider donating jackets and car coat length jackets. Thank you for your continued support. Due to the upcoming holiday and sharing space with the Faith Formation Foundations program, we will not be able to take donations from Wednesday, November 27th, until Monday December 9th. This allows our very hard-working volunteers time with their families. Happy Thanksgiving. HAITI CHRISTMAS DRIVE STARTS THIS WEEKEND! The Drive helps support the education of 3,500 students at five primary schools and one secondary school in our twin parish, St. Joseph in Medor; pays the salaries of 130 school teachers and staff; supports an agroforestry program with 1,200 participants, who planted 183,400 tree seedlings in the first half of 2024, while earning crop seeds, agricultural hand tools, and training on improved farming techniques. Here is how you can make a difference for our twin parish 1. Pray for our Medor family. 2. Donate online at: https://www.ourladyqueenofpeace.org/haiti-ministry.html 3. Write a check made out to OLQP with "Haiti" on the memo line and mail it to the parish office, or place it (or cash) in the Haiti box on the table at the church entry. Both printed and electronic cards are available for the Haiti Christmas Card Alternative Gift Program. Pick up printed cards at the self-serve table at the church entry. Download an electronic card here. Thank you for your love and support for our Medor family. ECO-TIP: Having trouble coming up with the "perfect Christmas gifts"? Rather than giving more "stuff", which may ultimately end up in landfills, give experiences. Think of activities that your friends and family love, and gift that. Consider a restaurant dinner, concert, spa day, or health club membership. For family fun consider a trampoline park, bowling alley or a ski day. Activities like these bring joy, create memories, and spare the planet of wasted resources. FATIH DIRECT – OLQP’s e-Giving Program This Thanksgiving we are expecting an unprecedented number of people throughout our community to turn to us for warm meals, comfort, and shelter. No one in need should be turned away, which is why we are reaching out to our parishioners. Your generous online donations now will help sustain the Thanksgiving Build-a-Basket program and our outreach programs that reflect God’s love. We prayerfully request that you consider signing up for e-Giving from your computer, smartphone or tablet. You can set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift. Sign up today by visiting faith.direct/VA271 or call Faith Direct’s Customer Service team at 866-507-8757. L'ARCHE GWDC warmly invites the Queen of Peace community to join us for our Christmas party on Saturday, December 14, in the Founder's Room, from 5-7 pm!

Catholic Responsibilities, Opportunities After the Election and Synod Tuesday evening, December 10, from 7:00 - 8:00 pm at Gaston Hall, Healy Hall, Georgetown University and livestreamed. RSVP CAN YOU ASSIST A FELLOW ARLINGTONIAN? – Volunteer needed to take elderly person who does not drive to the grocery store twice a month. Help is needed beginning November 23 through February when the former helper is expected to return; this is likely to be a temporary arrangement. This person prefers going to the market at 7:15am, but will also consider 1:00pm if too early. Please contact Sally Diaz-Wells at [email protected] if you can help. Shoebox Project Sunday, December 8, 2024 An OLQP Tradition for more than 20 years! This year we have about 250 gentlemen and 150 ladies in need of gifts. So, use your coupons, shop at the dollar store, watch the sales, shop with a friend to fill a box, or just provide some of the items in a plastic bag and a team of volunteers from our parish will provide packing and wrapping services on Sunday, December 8, at 11:30 am in Father Ray Hall. Don’t forget to bring your shoeboxes, too! This year we are doing something a bit different. We are implementing a signup sheet for donations! This will help us determine how many items will be donated and delivered by Shoebox Wrapping Day, Sunday, December 8! Additionally, we are adding a donations drop off window on Saturday, December 7, from 1:30 pm - 6:30 pm, over at Father Ray Hall (back stage entrance). On this day you can bring your donations and shoeboxes. We will also continue to receive donations and shoeboxes on Sunday. Interested in volunteering to join the wrapping action? We got you, too.
