THE IMPACT OF OLQP’S SOLAR PANELS In 2019 solar panels were installed on the roofs of the parish church, the rectory and Father Ray Hall. The solar panels produced electricity used in these buildings, reducing the electric bills for OLQP with the remaining electricity being sold to Dominion Energy which generates funds for the church's use. Financing was provided by a parishioner. Over their lifetime the impact of these solar installations on the environment is estimated to equal the planting of 5,456 trees, the removal of 71 cars off the road or the avoidance of burning 358 lbs of coal. All small steps in OLQP's effort to contribute to a healthier environment. YOUTH MINISTRY Join us for Father Martin’s Second Annual Pho Dinner on Saturday, May 18th following the 5:30pm Mass.

JOSEPH PARISH IN MEDOR, HAITI TO THE CONFIRMATION CLASS AT OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE On behalf of the parishioners of Medor, in particular the children in Medor, and on my own behalf: I say a big thank you to the children of this year's confirmation class at Our Lady Queen of Peace, our sister parish. Thank you for organizing a dinner to raise funds to help Medor. I learned, dear children, that you sold tickets, prepared the meal, set the tables, arranged the flowers, served the food, and cleaned up afterwards! May the resurrected Lord in his omnipotence fill you with his grace and blessings for having taken the initiative to help. He will reward you a hundredfold. One day he will say to you: “Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Mt 25:34). May the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit that you will receive on the day of your confirmation always be your faithful guide, advisor, and companion throughout your life! Kind regards, dear children, With joy and gratitude, Father Frantz Aimé, Pastor Saint Joseph of Medor ECO-TIP: Avoid Waste: Shop less, reuse, refurbish, donate, and buy more durable things.
