Using Your Envelopes
As an active member of Queen of Peace, you will be using your envelopes to give back gratefully to God! Because we are a busy Parish, we have a number of lines for which a Parishioner may choose to give of their treasure. The chart below will explain the meanings of the various funds and hopefully clarify any questions you may have. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call Margaret Gaylord at 332-6279, ext. 16.
The sacrifices we make for God’ work are multiplied many fold. God Bless you for your goodness!

Please Note:It is very important when making donations to various funds, you mark your envelopes and checks appropriately. Capital Campaign pledges should be marked as Capital Campaign. “Building Fund” is not the Capital Campaign and does go to cover other expenses.
