On Monday, June 12, 2023 at Our Lady Queen of Peace at 6:00pm, Father Daniel Ruiz, the pastor of Cabrini Parish of Rochester (Annunciation, Corpus Christi and St. Michael) will be our guest speaker. You may remember Father Ruiz from when he was studying for the priesthood and living in our parish community. He will tell us about how his current parish and the non profit organization, Rochester Hope, are working to bring agencies and services together to positively affect the health and well being of people living in the one of the poorest areas of our diocese. Please join us to hear Fr. Ruiz and for a status of other Outreach activities of our parish. Refreshments will be served!

Over the summer, we plan to organize a couple of activities for the Al Alloun family to show them around Rochester – maybe a trip to the zoo, a picnic in a local park. We’ll keep you posted on plans. Again, we thank all of you for opening your hearts to welcome this family to our community. I know they are grateful for all they have received. If you’re interested in joining the group of volunteers who visit the family or would like to help plan an activity, contact me or the parish office. And please keep this family and all refugees in your prayers. Please click here for more updates.
