Things to Remember...

Thus says the LORD: In a time of favor I have answered you, on a day of salvation I have helped you;
I have kept you and given you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages…(Isaiah 49:8)

MASSES

As Christians, we ought to show concern not only for the spiritual, but also for the physical health of our neighbors. Here at Queen of Heaven Church, we do our best to adhere to the precautionary measures, set in place by health experts: wearing facemasks, washing/disinfecting hands, keeping safe distances, staying home whenever possible...!

However, following the new health order, our parish will continue with the full Mass schedule, employing a "hybrid-model": Mass will be celebrated inside the church, with limited seating available and all the safety measures, plus, Mass is transmitted from the church via FM radio into the parking lot. Please tune your car radio to channel 87.9FM. Please leave one parking space empty between each car!
Confession is still available during regular times. Please use the EASTSIDE side entrance of the church, and make use of the hand sanitizer!
Until further notice, the church will be open for private prayer from about 7:30am thru 4:30PM, except on those days where Mass is scheduled.
As before, the elderly, people with underlying health conditions or those taking care of them, may want to stay home: the practice of faith begins at home!

The parish office is open for calling in. Our secretaries will also listen and respond to voice mails. In emergencies, you can also try to call the parish emergency number 505-872 0382.

Please, follow all health advice and precautionary measures to prevent the spreading of the virus! This is a work of mercy! Thank you for your understanding, and may God bless you and keep you, your families and loved ones! Fr. Simeon, pastor

Please, be kind and respectful to our ushers who are volunteering to serve God and us and make Masses possible. Thank them and our cleaners and pray to God for them!
Even though Archbishop Wester has left the dispensation from Sunday Obligation in place for now and has encouraged those over sixty years old and those of weakened immune systems or with underlying health problems not to come, it DOES NOT MEAN you cannot come. Any one is able to come, and must make their own prudent choices, while seeking to safeguard others. That means if you are sick, you should not come.

Some food for thought: even if the dispensation from Sunday obligation is still in place, that does not dispense you from following God's commandment to "keep the Sabbath holy", no? How do you or should you spend your Sundays/Holy Days?

CHURCH IS OPEN, from about 7:30am - 4:30pm Daily

The Church remains open from about 7:30am to 4:30pm for personal prayer in the presence of our Lord Jesus in the tabernacle. Please continue to observe social distancing and good hygiene. Wash your hands before and after visiting the church. Make use of the hand santizer dispensers!
ALL pews are roped off, either with a grey or with a red ribbon. Please use only the pews with the RED RIBBONS: take the red ribbon off, tuck it securley in the pew behind, and LEAVE IT OFF when you leave. It will inidcate to our maintenance staff which pews to sanitize.

CONFESSIONS - Available as Usual

The Archdiocese emphasizes that it is important to ensure proper distance from one another, staying widely apart in line, and to wash/disinfect your hands before and after visiting the Church. Avoid all person to person contact. A hand sanitizer is provided inside.
The make-shift confessional is in the eastside side entrance to the church, accessible from the parking lot. So that pentintents don't have to wait in the cold, there is a numbers-dispenser and a display. Pull a number and go back to your car "until your number comes up"... 

OFFICE IS open. Please call in or make an appointment!

The parish staff will be working. So, you can call in with your concerns or questions, or leave a message.

TITHING

Those who have not fallen into a financial predicament due to this current crisis or otherwise, our tithing remains an act of sacrifice and worship offered to God. Online giving is the easiest way during this time, and work of God is suitably sustained. It is available to all who have internet access. Contributions can be set up weekly, biweekly, monthy, or done on a one time basis either with a credit card or through your bank account. Your weekly regular tithing can be dropped off with the ushers when you enter the vestibule of the church on Saturdays/Sundays, or they can be mailed in or dropped off through the mail slot on the office door.
