Feel at home: Welcome Statement for our Filipino Community.

Another Community that have been a big part at Queen of Angels Church, in Sunnyside, NY, is the Filipino Community. A couple weeks back, Pastoral Associate, Juan Rodriguez, spoke to the Filipino Community about exploring ways to bringing our people closer through our Spiritual connection with Queen of Angels. One of the ways is expressing our Welcome to the Filipino Community in their language. With the help of our friend, Jonathan Louie Ong, we were able to translate our Welcome Statement from English to Tagalog.

On our Queen of Angels website, viewers will see a large section or icon that is in rotation. Every minute a new icon appears - three of them will be welcome statements for our English, Spanish, Bengali, and now in Tagalog, for our Filipino parishioners. Coming soon will be our Welcome Statement in Hindi.

Here is a sample of our Welcome Statement in English and Tagalog. Thank you, Jonathan Ong, and many blessings to you and your family! 

Stay tuned for more!

Here's what you need to know about Mass Intentions at Queen of Angels... Read more

MASS BOOK 2021-2022 : On Wednesday, September 8th, the Mass book for September 2021 to August 2022, will be open for intentions. An individual may ask to offer a Mass intention for several reasons: for example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person living or deceased (such as on a birthday or anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. When we face the death of someone, even a person who is not Catholic, to have a Mass offered for the repose of his soul and to offer our prayers are more beneficial and comforting than any other sympathy card or bouquet of flowers. To have a Mass offered on the occasion of a birthday, anniversary or special need is appropriate, beneficial and appreciated. You many stop by the rectory during office hours to make these arrangements. The Stipend for each is as follows: Masses - $15; Bread & Wine - $25; Sanctuary Candles - $25; Altar Flowers - $50; Purgatorial Society - $25 Remember...#WeAreQ...

It Was A Dreamer Who Thought It Up... Using QR Coding at the Church

The Dreamers Club Youth Group - part of Queen of Angels Youth Ministry - has always pushed our young people to think inside and outside the box. Our Motto is always to "Be A Dreamer"...  Imagine coming to Church for Mass, or for prayer before the Tabernacle or Sanctuary, and you find no Missalette, a Prayer Book, or a Bible. That's exactly what has happened to many Catholic Church in New York City - it left us with a sense of doubt. In a conversation with Amanda Dos Santos, and Lili Rodriguez, we discussed some of the ways we could promote these materials during Covid. It was Liliana who suggested to using clear projector paper, and print the QR Codes. All we had to do was direct parishioners in using the QR Codes before, during, and after the Mass. Parishioners would have the option of choosing English or Spanish.\You can find the Readings of the Mass, how to follow and respond at Mass and Holy Hour, How to pray the Rosary, and the Miraculous Medal N...
