Congratulations To This Year's Spirit of Mary Our Queen Award Winners


Angie and Dave Mills
Bev and Archie Carpenter


Dave and Angie Mills have been MOQ parishioners since 2007 and they've made a huge impact in our parish. Dave is actively involved in Men's Club and coaching MOQ teams. Angie has been an integral part of MOQ as well by being involved in the Ladies Guild, coaching MOQ teams and volunteering time for the Girl Scouts. Both Dave and Angie have chaired the Fall Festival since 2016 and they've headed up the very popular Parish to Parish run since its inception.





Bev and Archie Carpenter have been at Mary Our Queen for over 30 years and the love they have for MOQ and its parishioners is undeniable. Both Bev and Archie are continuously growing their faith and helping others do the same. Bev and Archie are involved in programs such as hospital ministry, EMHC and many other prayer groups and organizations.




We’d like to congratulate Angie, Dave, Bev and Archie for all that they do for
Mary Our Queen. They truly embody the Spirit of MOQ!

World Day for Consecrated Life
In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on Feb. 2. This feast is also known as Candlemas Day, the day on which candles symbolizing Christ, who is the Light of the World, are blessed. So, too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. 
Prayer for Consecrated Persons
God Our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as sisters, brothers, religious priests, consecrated virgins, and hermits, as well as members of Secular Institutes. Renew their knowledge and love of you, and send your Holy Spirit to help them respond generously and courageously to your will. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, on God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Thursday 8:00am
12:00pm Friday With this being the beginning of February it is time to consider
what we should do for Lent this year.

Ash Wednesday is Feb- CǜǕǢǗǩ
ruary 26th, which begins the 40 day period when we try harder to be better Christians.

Our lenten practices should seek to Fr. Marc Lim, Pastor better us in three areas of our life: physical, spiritual, and chari- Ext. 1200 | [email protected] table.


Fr. Matthew Capadano, Associate Pastor
Ext. 1201 | [email protected] The First area, and the one most people think about is, the
physical sacrifice, or mortification, we will make for Lent.

Our PǕǢǝǑǞǕǞǤ DǕǑǓǟǞǣ
Lenten sacrifice is something that should help our relationship with the Lord.

When considering what you should give up, ask Steve Floersch, [email protected] yourself:

What do I run to for comfort when I should be run- Tom Frankenfield, [email protected] ning towards Christ?

Perhaps its Netflix, food, the Internet, Bob Hamilton, [email protected]  social media, alcohol, etc. These creature comforts are what should be limited during Paul Rooney, [email protected] Lent.

Please notice, I said “limited” not “eliminated.” It is harder to moderate than it is Dave Medeiros, [email protected] to eliminate, and that is where the growth in virtue can happen during Lent. So in-

stead of giving up Netflix, perhaps you limit it to one hour a day.

This requires disci- PǑǢǙǣǘ OǖǖǙǓǕ SǤǑǖǖ
pline and I promise, the Lord will give you the grace you need to be more disci- plined.


Rita Berthelsen, Parish Engagement Coordinator
Ext. 1205 | [email protected] The second area is in your spiritual life.

During Lent, we should strive to pray Kolleen Hoffman, Secretary more.

Sometimes praying more means that we actually say the prayers we try to say Ext. 1211 | [email protected] everyday and fail to accomplish. The sacrifice we make should help to free up time Joette Deitering, Part Time Receptionist for this.

When considering the spiritual part of your life, make sure your Lenten prac- tice is measurable.

Perhaps you will read John’s Gospel for 10 minutes and then Ext. 1205 | [email protected] pray with it for 10 minutes, focusing on what struck you while you were reading. This Kristina Mendez, Part Time Bookkeeper is a measurable goal, which you can schedule into your day, and allows for success Ext. 1206 | [email protected] and the feeling of accomplishment.

Whatever you decide to do to grow in your spir- Tom Gregor, Maintenance itual life, please make it measurable.
Ext. 1410 | [email protected]
The third area involves the corporal works of mercy.

We are called to be more gen-  erous during Lent, and yes… this is on top of the generosity you have already Katie Murphy, Stewardship and Development pledged or already do.

As you know, giving money is sufficient, but for Lent, perhaps 402.333.9002 | [email protected] you should consider an act of charity.

Such as serving the poor, helping at a food Joseph Spargo, Business and Finance bank, volunteering within the parish, or whatever you feel the Lord is asking you to 402.905.0020 | [email protected] do.

When we serve real people, we notice Christ and His grace more effectively, which then consoles us and gives us a deeper trust in Him.
Renee Spicka, Operations and Communications
402.905.0021 | [email protected] I hope that this helps you discern what you should be doing for Lent.

God desires a Jeffrey Forman, Religious Education  truly intimate relationship with us.

Fostering this relationship is why we have 402.334.6944 | [email protected] Lent.

We don’t sacrifice to earn God’s love, we sacrifice to know his love more.

I Erica Bass, Youth & Young Adults  pray you have a fruitful Lent.
