Queen of Angels Youth Visit the Old House of Blessed Solanus Casey



Members of Queen of Angels Confirmation & Youth Ministry took this week of vacationing to do a spiritual pilgrimage to the Parish of St Michael & St Malachy in Brooklyn, to visit the Old House where Fr Solanus Casey used to live, be the Porter, and help the needy of the area.
As Queen of Angels Youth Ministry has been going through a renewal, we decided to start the year on the Theme of “Holiness”. Q of A Youth Ministry has been working on plans to promote the Vocation to Holiness - since our youth are in preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation - they choose a Saint to talk with them, to guide and pray for them. But that’s not enough - like having lots of great friends, the more saints you have blessing you, the closer you get to Christ. The friends of Jesus will always draw bring you to the Lord.
At the Dreamers Club, the main spiritual youth group for Queen of Angels Youth Ministry, members are watching the “Green Lantern: Animated Series”, while using prayer of the Rosary, and reflections on Sacred Scripture & Catechesis on Sainthood, as well as their calling within the Church.
Learning and visiting places that Saintly Men and Women lived is a great spiritual journey for teens to enter into the Life, Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord. Why? The Saints give us a reason for believing in Christ.
We want Fr Brendan P. Buckley, OFM Cap, Brandon Morel (YM), and Vanessa Garcia (DRE) for welcoming us to their parish and showing us around the house. If you’re Director of Religious Education, a Youth Minister,
or Leader - make plans to take your members to this place for prayer, or small retreat. Check their website at
Pray for us, as we will be praying for you. Blessed Solanus Casey, pray for us.
Check out this video on the history and life of Blessed Solanus Casey. More to come!

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...
