A Letter From Our Parish Social Ministry Director

"Spread love everywhere you go.  Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." - Mother Theresa

Mother Theresa and her work was a great source of inspiration to millions around the world.  Whether it was food or comfort, or even just a smile, she gave freely, whole-heartedly - and with joy.  Her example has been a beacon for many others to follow in her footsteps of ministering to those in need.  Here at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we are blessed with a steady stream of volunteers who give of their time and talents - happily and joyfully.  This section contains a comprehensive list of many resources and support that our Parish Social Ministry Office offers.  These ministries are constantly evolving and being added to, in order to better meet the needs of our parishioners.  Is there a ministry here you feel drawn to?  Perhaps you even have an idea that would be wonderful to share?  We invite you to come and meet with us - to see how you can put your gifts and interests toward a worthy cause.  God Bless You!
