Last Spring Faith Formation families were invited to help create a neater and cleaner hall at MQP. Thanks to the generosity of the Coco, Davy, Devine, Lucas, and Occhipinti families the wood, sheetrock, and paint have been purchased. Thank you to Richard Gomez and Tommy Ahlers who volunteered to construct the closet to store chairs, lecterns, etc. Thanks to Sue Levesque’s husband and daughter (Jerry and Mary), walls and doors were repainted and Jerry hung the pictures and curtains! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Now we will have a neater and cleaner place to gather because of people’s generosity!!! THANK YOU!!!! Donations are still being accepted to help cover expenses, so if you wish to help, donations may be sent to the parish office. Click here for more pictures!

Our Parish is taking an infant step toward evangelizing the people of Salem while at the same time challenging our parishioners to reflect on their own relationship with our Lord Jesus. Each member of our Parish is asked to answer the question, "How does Jesus matter in my life?", in 7 sentences or less. These testimonies would then be emailed to Deacon David at "greeleykid@msn.com" and subsequently posted to a Facebook blog by the same name, Jesus Matters!. The hope is that others in Salem and beyond will access and read these testimonies and be led to invite Jesus into their lives and discover the love that God has for them. Please don't ignore this opportunity to help change the lives of those struggling to find meaning, joy and fulfillment in their lives through Jesus!
