Month's Mind Requiem Mass
Our Lady Queen of Peace invites all of their former patrons, as well as, new ones to come to the Monthly Mind Mass.
"We hold these Masses are in our outdoor Chapel/Pavilion. This is a beautiful way to pay tribute for those laid to rest during the previous month, (February 2025) as well as all of the deceased at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cemetery, and all of the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
These Masses are always held on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at our outdoor Chapel/Pavilion.
Our compassionate staff will be praying for every family we serve and we hope you can join us in honoring the memories of those who have touched our lives. Let us come together to celebrate their lives and keep their legacies alive. May their memories be eternal!
As always, our sacred grounds are open for visiting your loved ones from dusk to dawn 7 days a week."

Requiem derives from the first word of the Latin introit: “Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine (Eternal rest grant unto them [him/her], O Lord).” The text may be inspired by a passage in an ancient work, 2 Esdras 2:34-35: “Therefore I say to you, O nations that hear and understand, ‘Await your shepherd; he will give you everlasting rest because he who will come at the end of the age is close at hand. Be ready for the rewards of the kingdom, because the eternal light will shine upon you for evermore.’”
