QUEEN OF APOSTLES COMMUNITY (QAC)
From a Marianist Community of student brothers open to visitors for Sunday Eucharist,
Queen of Apostles Community emerged as a non-territorial parish on August 28, 1973.
Continuing in the tradition of the Marianist Charism, we come together each week as a
family of Catholic, Christian believers, to worship our God in the Eucharist with song &
praise and to share in the breaking of the Bread. In so doing, we proclaim our willingness
to build a community of love and to be the holy people God calls us to be.
If you are visiting and worshipping with us for the first time, we extend to you our warmest
welcome. Our prayer is that your worship experience will be uplifting and Spirit filled.
We hope you will visit us often and worship with us!
(If you’d like more information about us or would like to join our Community,
please fill out the form on the back cover and drop it in the collection basket!)
NOTE: If the form on the back is missing, email [email protected] with your
name, phone number, address and we’ll contact you about joining us.
Marianist Doxology
May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the
Immaculate Virgin Mary.
“THE SPIRIT” & SUNDAY HOMILIES ON LINE: Visit our QAC website at qac-ohio.org. On
the main page, go to Our Community. There, you’ll find Homilies or The Spirit of QAC...just

STEWARDSHIP & GIVING
4th Sunday of Easter: “I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and
they will heed my voice.” (John 10:14-16). When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for things that
you want? Do you ever ask Jesus what He wants you to do? How do you listen for the
response? The answer is usually in “quiet whispers.” Take time in silent, daily prayer to hear His
answer.

2) Thursday, May 14th, 12:30 Lunch at the Carillon Brewing Company (Carillon Historic
Park). I brought the idea up at Sunday Mass to find out what people thought and I was surprised
how many people had already been there and just raved about this restraint and its historic
atmosphere. After lunch you can enjoy a brewery tour and the park. Sign up will be taken after
Mass, May 3rd & May10th, or call Chuck Bauer, 426-7260.

Dayton Ballet. A great way to start the summer! Park admission of $7/$8 is charged.
