We want to sincerely say thank you to Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, Bishop Sanchez and Father Passenant for donating plenty of food for our Food Pantry.
Our Food Pantry is open every first Saturday of each month from 10AM to 11:30AM We always need and appreciate your food donation to maintain and keep our Pantry stocked.

We want you to bear in mind, this year we had tremendous expenses. The pews are beautifully done, the parking lot looks amazingly great and
the windows are marvelous. The house of God must look beautiful and lovely, so that effortlessly we can raise up our hearts and minds to God.

The Youth Group presented a fantastic Musical concert on Saturday December 8th after the 12 Noon Mass. They are gifted and well talented
youth. The performance was out of this world. Practically all of them have beautiful voices Kresentia and Ziyi Tao worked hard and donated plenty of time and energy to train the young people. The youth behaved well. Parents must be proud of their children.

A big thank you… to Julio Roman, Julia Brucato, Nora, Rosemarie, Heidi and Paz Casapao for their devoted fund raising for the Church. Right after the Masses on Sunday they sell coffee and some food. They raised $3,144.00 both for charity and for the Parish. Let such a giving of their time continue and may God’s abundant blessings be upon them.

We need more volunteers for different Ministries for the Church. There are young people and we want them to come forward and offer to serve
God, parishioners and the Church. Please call the rectory if interested and leave your name and number. God bless our young people.

Stewardship is Thanksgiving. It is giving thanks for all God has given us: All of our time, our talents, and our treasure. Stewardship is how we manage our entire lives and includes what we give back to God for God’s work throughout the Church.

Our parking lot looks great. The contractors did an excellent job. Thanks to all for your cooperation. I received positive comments from some parishioners who saw the parking lot. There was quite a number of potholes and some spots were dangerous, now it is smooth and level.
The Church bathroom has been well painted by one of our parishioners, Ricardo Santellanes. He is a specialist in painting. He volunteered his time and energy for the Church. In the event you have a paint job, please call the rectory and we will provide his number . Muchas gracias Ricardo.
