Who is allowed in our pews?
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, gay, filthy rich, dirt poor, yo no habla Ingles, or are a person of color. We extend a special welcome to those who are crying newborns, skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds. We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or you can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up, or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you’re more Catholic than the Pope, or haven’t been in church since little Joey’s Baptism.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60, but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree huggers, latte sippers, vegetarians, and junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems, you’re down in the dumps, or if you don’t like “organized religion.” We’ve been there too. If you blew all your offering money at the casino, you’re welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or are here because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid, or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourist, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts...and you!
This is your home, even though you may not have been home for a while.
WE’RE HAPPY YOU’RE HERE.
This week at Queen of All Saints…
A Prayer
We ask you to join us in praying for this intention, which was written in the Chapel prayer book: For my son-in-law, who’s having pet scans to determine if his cancer is growing.
A Calendar
Did you know the new QAS website contains a calendar of events? You can see when Masses take place, which ministries meet when, and which rooms are available for meetings or rentals. Check it out!
