Celebration of the Feast of the Apparition of  Our Lady of La Salette
Beginning of the Marian Year in preparation for the 175th Anniversary

Mary Queen Catholic Church has been served by the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette since the very first Mass was celebrated in September, 1965 in Friendswood. We reserve a special time in September to honor the Mother of God, Mary of La Salette, as well as to offer prayerful gratitude to the many La Salette Missionaries who have served God's people of faith. This year the La Salette Missionaries observe as a MARIAN YEAR in preparation for the celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette to Maximin and Melanie in 1846. On each day of the novena let us try to reflect on the different messages that she gave to us through the children.
 

Saturday, September 19th & Sunday, September 20th
The Feast of Our Lady of La Salette will be celebrated at all weekend Masses

Invitation to Join The Mary Queen Pastoral Council
Mary Queen parishioners are invited to nominate members to the Pastoral Council.  A pastoral council is a consultative body in dioceses and parishes of the Roman Catholic Church that serves to advise the parish priest or bishop about pastoral issues. The council's main purpose is to investigate, reflect and reach conclusions about pastoral matters to recommend to the parish priest or bishop as appropriate.
 
The nominee must be a registered, Confirmed member in full communion with the Catholic Church and 18 years of age or older. Pastoral Council members serve a 3 year term and are elected through a discernment process.   Nominees must be present via online Zoom meetings provided for the Day of Discernment on Sunday, October 4, 2020 from 1:00 – 4:00 PM. The nominees must also have a commitment to all Council monthly meetings (third Thursday of the month) and extracurricular responsibilities. Parishioners may self-nominate to serve the Pastoral Council.
 
Please click here if you would like to submit a nomination. There will not be a paper ballot this year to comply with COVID precautions. In addition, current Pastoral Council members may be contacted directly to answer any questions (a list of current members is listed on the website). Nominees will receive an email with discernment information including the Zoom meeting.
 
Deadline for submission of forms is 5:00 PM on Wednesday, October 1, 2020

The Spiritual Gifts Inventory can help you determine which spiritual gifts you have been blessed with and are challenged to use in living out your baptismal call to build up the Kingdom of God. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes to take the inventory but a whole lifetime to use your spiritual gifts. There are 115 statements that assess your gifts in twenty-three different areas. Once your scores are totaled for each of the gifts, you will be presented with your spiritual gifts. You can then use the List of Spiritual Gifts to deepen your understanding of these gifts and how they might be used. We’ve provided a list of some of the parish ministries and activities that need each of the 23 gifts and encourage you to explore the possibilities of using your gifts in one of these ministries. Click here to take the Spiritual Gifts Inventory.
