Within our three-church parish we have received a gift of a framed image of Mary, Queen of Peace, that has been blessed. Just as Our Lord on the Cross expressed His desire for John to receive Mary as his mother, we too are to receive Mary as our spiritual mother, leading us to her Son. Parishioners are invited to take this picture and hang it in their homes for 9 days welcoming the Queen of Peace into their hearts and their family life. The picture can be picked up and dropped off at the Chapel in Marysville. To schedule your 9 days call Karen Shannon  613-848-5833.
