Special Notice about Parking
The fire marshal reviewed the parking at Queen of
Peace. To permit ambulance and fire equipment access
to the front of church we will need to create and
enforce no parking zones:
-between St. Isidore Hall and the rectory;
-the hill up to the front door of church;
-the inner circle in front of the school;
We ask all parishioners to observe the no parking
zones. We will have the pavement painted in the near
future. Thank You, Members of Building and Grounds
Committee.
Pope Benedict XVI: Silent adoration
In a world where there is so much noise, so much
bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of
Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer
of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of
comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.
Pope Benedict XVI – from his meeting with members of
the Roman clergy March 2, 2006

Deacon Mike's Corner
I have constantly heard that Catholics practice
superstition with all of the "sacramentals" they use
such as water, oils, incense, relics etc. How do I
answer that?
Anointing was a way of investing someone with power in
the Old and New Testaments. An example of this was the
anointing of King Solomon upon his ascent to his throne (I
Kings1:39). This signified divine sanctification and
approval. It could also signify the consecration of someone
or something for a holy purpose. Anointing was also done
for the healing of the sick just as it is done today in the
Catholic Church.
It reads in Mark 6:13, "And they cast out many demons, and
anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them".
In Matthew 26:12 we read, "In pouring this ointment on my
body she has done it to prepare me for burial". Jesus
allowed the woman to pour oil on him and anoint him. If
Jesus allowed this, then obviously this is not superstition. If
it were superstitious, He would have been obligated to
correct her since he is the "Truth".
In James 5:14 we read, "Is any among you sick? Let him
call for the elders of the Church (Priests), and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord". This is especially found in the Sacrament of the
"Anointing of the Sick".
Additionally, in the Jewish Temple, all Jews had to wash
with water their face, ears, hands and feet before entering
into prayer inside the temple proper (Our use of holy
water). Jesus did! Additionally, in the Temple, there was
incense burning constantly as a sign of prayer wafting into
the Heavens. We also find incense even being burnt in
Heaven before the Father by the Saints (Rev, 5:8) as a sign
of our prayers.
In the past I have written on the use of relics. Refer to 2
Kings13:20-21, Acts 5:15-16, and Acts 19:11-12. The
Catholic Catechism has a wealth of info for further
consideration.
We would all do well in paying attention to the command of
St. Peter in 1 Peter 3:15-16, "Always be ready to give an
explanation to anyone who ask you for the reason of your
hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence"! Are you?
We prepare ourselves by studying the Catholic Catechism,
Bible, and taking advantage of the various means to learn
more thru the RCIA program which is open to all Catholics
and those seeking to come into the faith, Bible study on
Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings and evenings
(see bulletin) until May 14th. Listening to Catholic radio
89.5 FM and 740 AM, especially 2-8 pm you will find a vast
array of formats in which the faith or faith in action is
explained generally in a Q&A format. Many Protestants
listen and are drawing ever closer to the faith thru this great
programming. Also go to www.catholic.com for an
extensive array of info on questions and answers about our
Catholic faith. Are you listening? I would like to know your
thoughts....... Email me at: [email protected].
Saint Francis De Sales pray for us.
A Big Thank You from Saint Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent DePaul would like to thank everyone
for their contributions of money, paper goods and
personal care items. If you know of anyone who
could use help please tell them to contact the
Parish Office at 863-4344 Ext. 38
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my
spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because
He has regarded the lowliness of His
handmaid; for behold, henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed;
Because He who is mighty has done great
things for me, and Holy is His Name;
And His mercy is from generation to
generation on those who fear Him. He
has shown might with His arm, He has
scattered the proud in the conceit of their
heart. He has put down the mighty from
their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good
things, and the rich he has sent away
empty. He has given help to Israel, His
servant, mindful of His mercy - Even as
He spoke to our father - to Abraham and
to his posterity forever.
Volunteer Needed

A Mother’s Love
By Carol Matthews
A mother loves right from the start,
She holds her baby close to her heart.
The bond that grows will never falter,
CEMETERY NEWS
Her love is so strong it will never alter.
A mother gives never ending love,
She never feels that she has given enough.
For you she will always, do her best,
Constantly working, there’s no time to rest.
A mother is there when things go wrong,
A hug and a kiss to help us along.
Always there when we need her near,
Around 1850, two organizations purchased land on
Greenwood Ave in Hamilton. Today we call them St
Stephen and Greenwood Cemeteries. Both cemeteries
have property on both sides of Greenwood Ave, with no
fences separating them.
St Stephen Old Cemetery is on the south side of
Greenwood Ave. In it contains some of our oldest
burials. It also has a special section for infant burials,
and many nuns are buried toward the front of the
entrance.
St Stephen Old Cemetery is surrounded by Greenwood
Cemetery on three sides.
But upon entering St
Stephen’s Old, you will see a crucifix, and that tells you
that you have entered the Catholic cemetery.
Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.
A mother’s prayer means so very much,
Believing in God and his gentle touch.
Keeping you safe both day and night,
Your mother’s prayer will time it just right.
So on this day shower your mother with love,
Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.
Give your mother a day to have some peace of mind,
Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.
The crucifix has been in the cemetery for many decades,
but recently was vandalized and Jesus leg stolen. In
February, we hired a company to make repairs. And on
April 1, the beautiful crucifix came back to us. We invite
you to come see the past lives of the cemetery blended
with the new life of the crucifix.
Anyone wishing to make a donation toward the repair of
the crucifix can mail a donation to St Stephen, Attn:
Crucifix repair. Thank you.
Our final expression of faith as Catholics is the blessed
and sacred burial in a Catholic cemetery. This is our
opportunity to rest among fellow believers, awaiting the
resurrection to life everlasting in union with God.
St Mary and St Stephen Cemeteries still have plenty of
available space to serve future generations. And both
cemeteries have many burial options. St Stephen
Cemetery, 1314 Greenwood Ave, Hamilton Oh 45011

Dress Code

S. Wilmer
E. Fryer
A neat and reverential appearance is in keeping with the
minister’s role and belief in the presence of Christ in the
Eucharist. The minister’s attire should not detract from
that role. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
should see to it that their hands are clean. They should
also refrain from using strong cologne, perfume, or aftershave because some people have sensitivities to these
scents and because these fragrances often remain on
one’s hands and can be transferred to the Eucharist.
Extraordinary Ministers – Pants/slacks, dress/skirt,
(Clean, a nice shirt w/collar ), that covers shoulders. Wear shoes, dress shoes are best. Never wear
shorts, flip-flops, sweats, or hoodies, t-shirts, or
jeans. Bare shoulder or midriff, and low cut tops are not
appropriate. Take care also that clothing is well fitted,
not too tight and not too loose. High heels are a danger
so should not be worn. Simple jewelry is acceptable. Refrain from wearing bangle/bracelets. Sunglasses on the head are not acceptable. Proper attire
refers not only to what you wear, but also how appropriate it is for Mass. The Coordinator of the Mass reserves
the right to ask another minister to serve in your place if
you are not properly attired to serve as a minister.
