Mary, Queen of Peace Parish
From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This coming Thursday evening, February 5th, is a very important
occasion for our parish community, and especially so for 37 of our
parish’s high school youth and their families. It is an occasion that these
young people have been waiting and preparing for since the new
school year began — in some cases even longer — and it is with great
eagerness and enthusiasm that they anticipate its arrival. I am referring
to the celebration of the sacrament of Confirmation which these youth
will be receiving from Abbot Neal Roth, O.S.B. Abbot Roth is the
religious superior of the Benedictine monastic community at Saint Martin
Abbey in Lacey, Washington. He is filling in for Archbishop Peter
Sartain, who is still recuperating from his recent surgery. Abbot Roth will
administer the sacrament of Confirmation through the laying on of his
hands and the anointing with the Oil of Chrism.
We invite and encourage members of our wider parish to join us for
this Mass at which our Confirmation candidates will receive this Sacred
Anointing, the last of the three sacraments of Christian initiation. The
presence of our larger parish family would be a wonderful sign of
affirmation and support for these youth, and likewise a wonderful
opportunity to experience a celebration of the Eucharist that is
especially rich in the beauty of its music and in the fullness of its symbols.
The Confirmation liturgy is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m.
On a personal note, it has been my privilege and pleasure to see
these young people grow and mature over the span of nearly a
decade. It has been just over nine and a half years since I came to
MQP. These youth, all of whom are either late in their 15th year of age,
or already 16, were all just five or six years old when I began my
ministry here as pastor. I have been blessed to help most of them
celebrate the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy
Communion, and to witness their growth in faith as they have gone
through our grade-school faith formation programs, and our junior high
(Edge) and high school (ANCHOR) youth ministry programs. It has been
a great joy to see them putting their faith into action, to pray and
worship with them, to share in their spiritual journey, and to help them
mark their progress by celebrating with them these sacramental
milestones and rites of passage. It will be especially gratifying for me
to see them be confirmed, and to be a part of this final step in their
Christian initiation.
I ask all of you to please join me in praying for these high-school
Confirmation candidates as they draw near to being sealed with the gift
of the Holy Spirit. May the celebration of this sacrament be for them a
profound encounter with God’s grace and favor, and lead them to a
fuller life in the Holy Spirit and to deeper union with Christ in friendship
and in faith. Hope to see you at our Confirmation Mass this coming
Thursday, February 5th, at 7:00 p.m.
Blessings to all,
Fr. Kevin

Stewardship of Time, Talent & Treasure
GOD Gives It All, Then Calls Us To Share—Become Involved In Parish Life, It Is Filled With Blessings
Weekly Stewardship Message
Moses told the people, “The Lord will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own kinsmen.”
God still provides among His people the gifts and talents necessary to continue the work of His Church.
What gifts are yours to share?
STEWARDSHIP OF TIME AND TALENT OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE PARISH
Our parish encourages everyone to give at least two hours of their time each week in prayer and service, beginning with Mass.
Whatever gifts you’ve been given, be thankful...and find a way to share them.
Grateful for God’s gifts of time and talent to all of us,
we acknowledge and give thanks to all those involved
in preparing our children who will soon be receiving
the sacrament of Reconciliation. Thank you for
passing on your faith.
Please refer to the MQP Resource Guide or our website
www.mqp.org/stewardship for a full description of these and all
our ministry opportunities. Feel free to contact any Ministry Leader

Technology improvements at MQP (Thanks to your
generosity at last fall’s auction):
We now have Wi-Fi throughout the building. MQP
Parishioners can take advantage of this by asking
any staff person or MQP leader for the password to
“MQP Public”. This password will change
periodically, and will allow us to insure the safety of
the site and availability to the community as needed.
New online giving capability: WeShare, from
Liturgical Publications Inc., allows parishioners a much
easier way to make contributions to MQP, for
Special Collections, or St. Vincent de Paul. Beginning
in March, you will be able to register for parish
events through the same portal. We will begin using
WeShare for our Lenten Women’s Retreat. We
have already made it possible for families to pay
registration fees for our Joyful Discovery Preschool.
A nice advantage for those who wish is that you can
manage your contributions yourself. Call the office
or check out the link on the MQP Website.
New Web Site Coming: MQP.ORG will be
changing. We are in the process of redesigning the
web site. A cleaner and easier to navigate site is on
the way. As we are in this process, please don’t

Adoration
The . . . great work of love we attribute in a special
way to the Holy Spirit is His role in the change of
ordinary bread and wine into the very body, blood,
soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ during the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass. This change is called
Transubstantiation." It simply means that when a
validly ordained Catholic priest, acting in the Person
of Christ (in persona Christi), says the words Jesus
said at the Last Supper when He instituted the
Eucharist - namely, " 'This is my body' ... 'This is my
blood' " (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, cf. Luke
22:19-20) - the substances of bread and wine are
changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The
"accidents" of bread and wine - namely, their
appearance, size, shape, quantity, taste, color,
texture, and the like - remain the same. As a result,
the Eucharistic Bread still looks like ordinary bread,
but it is now the "body of Jesus." In a similar way, the
cup of wine just consecrated is no longer simply
ordinary table wine, but it is now the precious blood
of Jesus Christ.

Respect Life
The Gospel of life is for the whole of human society.
To be actively pro-life is to contribute to the renewal
of society through the promotion of the common good.
It is impossible to further the common good without
acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon
which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are
founded and from which they develop. A society lacks
solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts
values such as the dignity of the person, justice and
peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to
the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of
ways in which human life is devalued and violated,
especially where it is weak or marginalized. Only
respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee
of the most precious and essential goods of society,
such as democracy and peace.

Thank Yous from Art & Environment Ministry
Many hands make work light and certainly more fun! It takes many hands and lots of time to accomplish
Christmas Season preparations. Now that we have moved back into Ordinary Time, we want to thank the
many people who made our Church so beautiful this Christmas.
We thank all parishioners who donated the Poinsettias which graced our church. We thank Squak Mountain
Nursery for the wonderful selection of flowers and timely delivery. We thank the Knights of Columbus for their
assistance installing the trees in the Social Hall and Church and for riding the Genie Lift to install other décor.
We thank Long’s Automotive in Woodinville for the use of their truck and trailer to transport the tree. We
thank Pete & Lisa Kraetsch, Joe & Lyta McNabb, and Ellen & Steve Martin for donating the trees.
We cannot say “thank you” loudly enough to the many volunteers (both our core group and seasonal helpers)
who worked with great speed to prepare our church for Christmas. We had more volunteers this year but we
also had more scheduling challenges. There were back-to-back events scheduled in both the church and social
hall which limited our preparation time. Some volunteers were participating in multiple events and without the
help of all those who volunteered, we would not have been able to accomplish everything.
Our special thanks go out to these helpers: Diane Kloeppel, Gayle Meade, Mary & Ron Long, Mary & Bill
Jones, Shar Soltero, Mary Gross, Linda & Vic Peri, Germaine Cruz, Carol Eldridge, Joanne Van Deurzen,
Lorraine Ficken and Matt, Stacie Sollars, Bonnie Witek, Dave & Jan Bradshaw, Kathie Beutel-Johnson, Bill
Haines and Chris, Kim & Dan Christiansen and Kate & Susan, Ken Cameron, Pete Weiler, Lisa & Pete Kraetsch,
Steve Repanich, Dan Hageman, Rich Shively, Kathleen Parry, Jane Stephenson, Christina & Michael Marchione
and Daniel, and Mark Reisenauer.
Did you notice the trees in the Narthex? Please say yes. The decorations on these trees were handmade by
members of Art & Environment. The flowers, fruits and nuts were dried or collected by members of A&E
Ministry. Nothing is artificial. Each year we create a few more items. This year we had several work parties
at the home of Shar & Don Soltero and the fruits of our labors were on those two trees.
Finally, let us give a big thank you to our Christmas coordinators: Carol Eldridge, Lorraine Ficken, Kathleen
Parry, Mary Jones and Mary Long. Over the years, a comprehensive checklist has been developed to make
the task easier. However, it still takes two exhausting days to install the trees, set up the Social Hall and place
all the décor and then two days to remove it. Thank you everyone.
