Men and women at Path Forward, Shirlington Day Laborers and Feast on the Streets will be gifted with these warm creations, along with a Shoebox. We have already distributed over 75 blankets, and about as many hats and scarves to Comfort Cases (children in foster care), and Project Gabriel. If you are a knitter, please drop off your creations by Dec 10. All donations go in the basket in the front entrance of Fr. Ray Hall if the Library door is locked. If it is open, leave your donations inside our closet on the left, inside the Library. Many thanks for the generous time and talents of our volunteers. If you are interested in joining our knitting group, please contact Marilena: [email protected]. YOUTH MINISTRY: Don’t forget to pick up your OLQP 80th Anniversary Christmas Ornaments!

CHILDREN'S BOOKS NEEDED The Food Pantry is seeking donations of children's new and gently used books (nursery rhymes, ABC's, early readers, children's education, etc.) for preschoolers through early grade levels. Books in both English and Spanish are welcome. Please leave clearly marked donations in the back of the church during your weekend masses, deliver to the ministry center, or leave in the Matthew 25 donation bin (which will be available after Thanksgiving). These books bring smiles of delight to children accompanying their parents to the Food Pantry! BLACK CATHOLIC MINISTRY S.T.A.R. Share, Teach and Reflect Corner Rebecca Grant Jenkins has spent much of her life serving youth. Rebecca graduated from T.C. Williams (now Alexandria City) H.S. She attended Columbia University and while there worked with high schoolers through the Upward Bound Program. She was then an admissions officer for Columbia. Her uncle, long-time parishioner C.C. Jenkins, introduced Rebecca’s family to OLQP in 2000. Rebecca has served as a lector, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, and helped with sacramental preparation. Learning of our parish’s need for a Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries in 2019, she felt called to apply. She currently thrives guiding youth and young adults through Bible studies, weekly fellowship, retreats, work camps, and pilgrimages. ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY MASS OF FR. JOE NANGLE’S PASSING Join us for Mass on Saturday, December 13, at 12 noon to honor, celebrate and give thanks for Fr. Joe and his amazing ministry to OLQP for 35 years. A reception will follow in Fr. Ray Hall from 1:00pm-3:00pm. Please join us. HAITI CHRISTMAS DRIVE: More Important Than Ever Medor’s remote location helps protect it from gang activity. Many other areas are not so lucky. In the last 18 months seven hundred families have fled from urban areas to Medor for protection against the gangs. Our brothers and sisters there have welcomed these families with open arms and share what they can. Here is how we can continue making a difference in Medor: 1. Donate online at: https://www.ourladyqueenofpeace.org/haiti-ministry.html 2. Write a check made out to OLQP with "Haiti" on the memo line and mail it to the parish office, or place your donation 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 electronic card here: Haiti Christmas eCard. Thank you for your love and support for our Medor family. OLQP LIBRARY REQUEST As we approach the Advent season, if you have any Adventresources at home that you no longer use or that the kids have outgrown, please consider donating them to the OLQP Library. Your contributions (Advent meditations, Advent customs and practices, etc.) will make these resources available for others to use and enjoy during this special time of year. Donations can be left in the Library or at the Parish Office. The Library is in Fr. Ray Hall, second door on the right as you enter the main hall from the street entrance. Thank you so much for your consideration and support! The OLQP Library offers an array of books for spiritual enrichment, including Advent resources. Stop by after Mass to peruse the collection on a variety of topics. Books may be checked out on the honor system. Sign out cards and instructions are available on the Library desk. Look for more updates on the Library in the New Year. THE ADVOCATE – OLQP’s Newsletter The fall issue of The Advocate is now available on the parish website. You’ll find it here. If you would like The Advocate delivered to your inbox, please send a message to the parish office to the attention of Jeannette Gantz Daly, [email protected]. MATTHEW 25 -- Is looking for a volunteer to help with storage. If you can lift 20 lbs. and can come Monday through Thursday from 9am until 12noon, we can use your help. Choose the day(s) of the week that works for you, even once would be great. Interested, please contact Sally Diaz-Wells at [email protected]. ECO-TIP: Winterize your car. Prepare your car for winter. Check your battery, antifreeze, and tire pressure (low pressure reduces fuel efficiency). Your trunk kit should include jumper cables, a shovel, sand for traction, a blanket, and first aid kit.
