DECLARACIÓN DE MISIÓN DE OLQP La parroquia de la iglesia católica Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz se dedica a dar testimonio de las enseñanzas de Jesucristo, especialmente el Evan-gelio de San Mateo, Capítulo 25:21-46. Nuestra misión es nutrir el espíritu y alentar el potencial de aquellos a quienes servimos a través de la cele-bración litúrgica, labores educativas y ministerios sociales. La parroquia continuará identificándose con su origen como una comunidad afro-americana, pero reflejando una congregación multi-étnica y continuará promoviendo la armonía racial y la justicia social. Si bien es cierto que nuestro enfoque principal es la vecindad comunitaria, con-tinuaremos trabajando para proveer por el bienes-tar de los más necesitados en general. Es así como nos esforzamos para hacer de nuestra comunidad parroquial una familia que comparte y se preocupa por sus miembros.
OLQP MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church is dedi-cated to witnessing the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially the Gospel of Saint Matthew, Chapter 25:31-46. Our mission is to nurture the spirit and to encourage the potential of those we serve through liturgical celebration, educational endeavors and social ministries. The parish will continue to identi-fy with its origin as a Black parish. As a multi-ethnic congregation we will seek to promote racial har-mony and social justice. While our primary focus is within the immediate community, we will also work to provide for the well-being of the down-trodden everywhere. In this we strive for our par-ish community to be a caring, sharing, and loving family.

PÈRE FRANTZ DISCUSSES
MEDOR’S AGRO-FORESTRY PROGRAM I can see that the agro-forestry program aids the envi-
ronment while helping us fight poverty, food insecurity
and contribute to gender equity. The combination of
tree nurseries, tree planting on the mountainsides, seed
banks, distribution of agricultural tools and agricultural
training are having a positive impact on Médor.
The tree nurseries allow farmers to plant trees, restoring
ground cover, fighting against erosion and landslides
and improving the water table. The tree nurseries allow
children, young people, and adults to receive an environ-
mental education. They also provide the community with
team spirit, solidarity and a sense of purpose.
The seed banks allow the inhabitants to find good seeds
that result in an increase in crop yields. The seed banks
also contribute to a reduction of family expenses while
increasing each family’s economy.
The distribution of tools allows farmers to find working
materials on the spot and also reduces family expenses.
Agricultural training allows farmers to receive up to date
technical supervision training. Many planters in our area
use archaic farming methods. The training they receive
through the program allows them to use modern meth-
ods that contribute to efficiency and to an increase of
agricultural production.
In short, I think the agro-forestry program is assisting
our community in a path toward environmental and
economic development.
“ED TALKS” COMING TO ZOOM -- The Ed Kelly fall speaker series named after Fr. Ed Kelly, CSSp (OLQP Associate Pastor 1990-1995) is coming back -- on zoom! We will have speakers once a month in September, Oc-tober and November. The theme this year is “Voting” with the following discussion topics: rights/responsibility, suppression and maybe the theology of voting. Dates and times to be announced soon.
OLQP ANNUAL SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE -- Thank
you for all your donations – we are almost there! We still need 550 child elementary school size masks, 100 small bottles of hand sanitizer, and 100 elementary school sized scissors. Please place the donations in the food pantry bins behind Father Ray Hall. This year School Supply Pickup will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis on Thursday, September 3rd from 11:30am to 1:30pm and Sunday, September 6th from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Supplies are limited and half will be distributed each day. Distribution will take place outside in front of Father Ray Hall.
PÈRE FRANTZ HABLA DEL PROGRAMA AGROFORESTAL DE MEDOR
Yo veo que el programa agroforestal ayuda al medio ambiente a la vez que nos ayuda a luchar contra la pobreza, la inseguridad alimentaria y contribuye a la equidad de género. La combina-ción de los viveros de árboles, la siembra de árboles en las lade-ras de las montañas, los bancos de semillas, la distribución de herramientas agrícolas y la educación en agricultura tienen un impacto positivo en Medor. Los viveros de árboles permiten que los agricultores siembren árboles, lo cual restaura la capa vegetal, ayuda a combatir la erosión y los desprendimientos de tierra y mejora las aguas sub-terráneas. Los viveros de los árboles permiten que los niños, los jóvenes y los adultos reciban una educación sobre el ambiente. También le dan un espíritu de equipo, solidaridad y un sentido de propósito a la comunidad. El banco de semillas permite que los habitantes encuentren bue-nas semillas que resultan en un mayor rendimiento del cultivo. Los bancos de semillas también contribuyen a reducir los gastos de cada familia mientras que aumentan sus ingresos. La distribución de herramientas permite que los agricultores tengan las herramientas de inmediato y también reduce los gas-tos de la familia. La educación en agricultura permite que los agricultores reciban entrenamiento técnico actualizado. Muchos agricultores en nuestra área usan métodos agrícolas que son antiquísimos. El entrenamiento que reciben a través del programa permite que usen métodos modernos que contribuyen a la eficacia y a un aumento de la producción agrícola. En resumen, yo pienso que el programa agroforestal está ayu-dando a nuestra comunidad en el camino hacia el desarrollo ambiental y económico.
“LAS CHARLAS ED” VIENEN A ZOOM – ¡La serie de char-
las Ed Kelly del otoño, lleva el nombre del Padre Ed Kelly, CSSp
(párroco asociado de OLQP del 1990-1995) regresa otra vez – en
zoom! Tendremos oradores una vez al mes en septiembre, octu-
bre y noviembre. El tema este año es “Voting” (el voto) con los
temas que siguen para la discusión: derechos/
responsabilidades, represión y quizás la teología del voto. Las
fechas y las horas se anunciarán pronto.
COLECTA DE MATERIALES ESCOLARES DE OLQP -- ¡Gracias por todas sus donaciones – casi tenemos lo necesario! Todavía necesitamos 500 mascarillas para niños de escuela ele-mental, 100 botellas pequeñas de desinfectante para manos y 100 tijeras para niños de escuela elemental. Por favor ponga sus donaciones en los contenedores para alimentos detrás de Fat-her Ray Hall. Este año, la recogida de los materiales escolares será de acuerdo al orden de llegada, el jueves, 3 de septiembre de 11:30am a 1:30pm y el domingo, 6 de septiembre de 11:30am a 1:30pm. Tenemos una cantidad de materiales limita-da y la mitad se distribuirá cada día. La distribución será afuera, al frente de Father Ray Hall.

MATT 25 – NO MÁS DONACIONES POR AHORA – Co-
mo siempre, su generosidad no tiene límites. Literalmente esta-mos abrumados con nuevas donaciones y no podemos aceptar más. Los contenedores se van a cerrar este fin de semana y es-peramos tener una idea del número de artículos donados en tan poco tiempo. Solamente abriremos los contenedores otra vez para recoger ropa de invierno el sábado, 19 de septiembre. De esa fecha en adelante continuaremos recogiendo ropa de in-vierno los sábados. ¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo de este mi-nisterio!
¡REUTILICE ESAS BOLSAS DEL MERCADO! – Verdadera-
mente necesitamos bolsas de papel con asas o mangos. Las bolsas ayudan a los voluntarios a empaquetar los alimentos y le dan una segunda vida a las bolsas ante de ser recicladas. Gracias por ayudar a reducir el desperdicio. Por favor tráigalas durante las horas de trabajo de la oficina, 10 am a 2 pm, y póngalas en los contenedores de alimentos detrás de Father Ray Hall.

JUST A THOUGHT, OR TWO….In today’s Gospel
Jesus asks the disciples “who do you say that I am?”…Peter proclaims that he is “the Christ”…the Messi-ah! And from this declaration, Jesus proclaims that “Simon” is blessed and that he has come to this insight, not by human knowledge, but Divine inspiration. In the Gospel of Matthew this is another pivotal mo-ment. Jesus acknowledges that he is more than a prophet, more than a messenger…He is the “Son of God”! From this moment forward Jesus’ public minis-try takes on cosmic proportions…from now on his mis-sion is to the whole world, not just the People of Israel. But what does this mean for me? Who do people say I am?….when I am not there to hear? Who do “I” say I am?….by my life…by my words and by my actions? The American educator, Parker Palmer, once pro-claimed….”let my life speak”, but speak of what? Can people tell that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ by how I life my life? Is the message of God’s deep and passion-ate love for all people of every race and Jesus’ clarion call to love and care for others, evidenced in the way I
live my life? As a Christian -- a disciple of Jesus Christ -- I am called to love God with my whole being and to love and care for my neighbor as if they were my-self! And yet down through history to this very mo-ment in time Christians have perpetrated sins of rac-ism, bigotry, antisemitism and misogyny and outright hatred of their neighbor whom Jesus has commanded they love. And yet we call ourselves followers of Je-sus. We cannot hate our neighbor, act with racist and bigoted hearts and believe that we are living as Christ has called us to live. We must ask ourselves: do I har-bor hatred, distrust or ill will towards my neigh-bor? We must name and call out the sins of racism, bigotry, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, homophobia and misogyny when and where we see them! It is in this way that “our lives will speak” to the world the truth of who Jesus Christ is. That is how our lives will be prophetic! What prophetic witness will I give today to who Jesus is by how I live? Blessings, Fr Tim

ELECTION POSTCARD PARTY Please see the bulletin insert for details about the Labor Team's postcard campaign, partnering with the NAACP and Reclaim Our Vote, to encourage voters in South Caro-lina to register to vote. We will have 1,000 postcards to divide among OLQP households. Let's do what we can to combat the sin of voter suppression and ensure a peaceful and fair election. You must sign up before August 24th by emailing Sally Diaz Wells at [email protected] to par-ticipate.
HAVE YOU SEEN WWW.FATHERHEALY.COM? A longtime OLQP parishioner created this website making our former pastor’s homilies available on the web. Each week a homily is posted that corresponds to the Sunday readings. If you’re a longtime parishioner or know some-one who was, do you have any tapes of Fr. Healy (pastor from 1983-1995) stowed away somewhere. Email Frank Finamore at [email protected] so that he can dig-itize your tape and add it to the online collection!
GABRIEL PROJECT is in urgent need of size 3, 4 and 5

ECO-TIP: Picnics and camping have become even more popular in
Covid times. Consider these zero waste options. Reusable lightweight plates, cups, bowls and cloth napkins bring a touch of class and reduce waste. Bring bags for recyclables and waste. Use thermos for drinks. Skipping bottled water saves the environment.
You’re invited to join the
OLQP Labor Team “Good Trouble”
POSTCARD PARTY To Fight Voter Suppression in the
2020 ELECTION!
John Lewis observed that the vote “is the most powerful non-violent tool we have.” And yet we see wide-spread voter suppression efforts targeted at Black communities such as strict voter ID laws and strategic closing of polling places leading to incredibly long lines. That is wrong. That undermines their sacred votes and democracy. So we must follow John Lewis’ example to protect the vote because, as he said, “[w]hen you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say some-thing. To do something. Our children and their children will ask us, ‘What did you do? What did you say?’” The good news is that we can act together as a parish to stand up against voter suppression in the upcoming election. The Labor Team has been working with the Arlington NAACP and its partner in these elections, Reclaim Our Vote, and will have 1,000 postcards to distribute among OLQP households who wish to join our “postcard party.” Here are the details:
• Each household (not person) will be able to get a total of 25 postcards. That number may be reduced if we get overwhelming demand at the parish and need to share the postcards more broadly
• You must request the postcards by emailing Sally Diaz Wells at [email protected] before Monday, August
24th, noting your household last name(s). No need to specify a postcard total – every package will have up to 25.
• The postcards will be through Reclaim Our Vote, a 501(c)(3) organization that partners with the NAACP and other groups to reach voters in states with a long history of voter suppression. Our postcards will be targeted to unregis-tered South Carolina residents, urging them to vote.
• Your package will be left for pick-up at the parish office -- look for the “postcard party” box -- on the porch to the parish office from 10am-3pm on Thursday August 27th – Sunday August 30th. It will contain blank postcards, names and addresses of where to send each postcard, a reminder of the deadline for completing them, and a script you must follow when addressing the postcard. However, feel free to add your own creative flair - maybe a little color and artwork. If you have children, feel free to involve them too!
• Because of tight deadlines for registering to vote and delays with USPS, you must either mail the postcard (with postage) yourself by September 6th or return your completed postcards from 10am-6pm the weekend of Septem-ber 5th and 6th to the box in the back of the OLQP parking lot, by the statue of Mary (or to the box inside the minis-try center if after 5pm on those days or it is raining). OLQP will provide stamps for any postcards returned to the parish for mailing.
• If you choose to return the completed postcards to the box at OLQP on the weekend of September 5 and 6 in lieu of mailing them from your home, we ask you to wear a mask, observe social distancing, and before you leave, to con-sider taking a moment to sit on the bench beside the statue of Mary to join your personal prayer with the parish’s to pray for: the people we are contacting by mail, an end to voter suppression, widespread voter participation, a peace-ful, safe, free, and fair election, and an election outcome that uplifts the people in our country during this hard time, especially the least among us.

Pope Francis: Making the poor a priority
isn’t political, it’s the Gospel By: Carol Glatz
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Church teach-
ing on giving priority to the well-being
of the poor and marginalized is not a
political or ideological choice; it lies at
the very heart of the Gospel, Pope
Francis said.
The preferential option for the poor,
which includes feeding the hungry and
drawing close to the excluded, “is the
key criterion of Christian authentici-
ty,” he said Aug. 19 during his weekly
general audience.
The principle also would include mak-
ing sure that any vaccine developed
for the novel coronavirus helps every-
one, he added.
“It would be sad,” he said, if priority
for a vaccine “were to be given to the
richest. It would be sad if this vaccine
were to become the property of this
nation or another, rather than univer-
sal and for all.”
During his audience, livestreamed
from the library of the Apostolic Pal-
ace, Pope Francis continued a series
of talks on the principles of the
church’s social doctrine as a guide for
healing and building a better future,
particularly as the world is struggling
with a pandemic and its negative
effects.
In fact, he said, a proper response to
the pandemic is two-fold:
“On the one hand, it is essential to
find a cure for this small but terrible
virus, which has brought the whole
world to its knees. On the other, we
must also cure a larger virus, that of
social injustice, inequality of oppor-
tunity, marginalization and the lack of
protection for the weakest.”
“It would be a scandal if all of the eco-
nomic assistance we are observing —
most of it with public money — were
to focus on rescuing those industries
that do not contribute to the inclusion
of the excluded, the promotion of the
least, the common good or the care of
creation,” the pope said.
These are the four criteria that should
be used “for choosing which indus-
tries should be helped: those which
contribute to the inclusion of the ex-
cluded, to the promotion of the least,
to the common good and the care of
creation.”
Pope Francis said the COVID-19 pan-
demic “has exposed the plight of the
poor and the great inequality that
reigns in the world” and it has made
those inequalities and discrimination
even worse.
One of the responses that must not be
missing is the preferential option for
the poor, he said.
This key element of the church’s social
teaching “is not a political option, nor
is it an ideological option,” he said; it
is “at the center of the Gospel.”
Jesus “stood among the sick, the poor,
the excluded, showing them God’s
merciful love,” he said.
The preferential option for the poor is
a duty for all Christians and communi-
ties, he said, and it means doing more
than providing needed assistance; it
requires remedying the root causes
and problems that lead to the need
for aid.
“Many people want to return to nor-
mality” and get back to business, the
pope said, but this “normality” must
not entail ongoing social injustice and
the degradation of the environment.
“The pandemic is a crisis, and we do
not emerge from a crisis the same as
before: either we come out of it
better or we come out of it worse,” he
said. “We must come out of it better”
and build something different.
The world needs an economy and
remedies that do not “poison society,
such as profits not linked to the crea-
tion of dignified jobs,” but rather
profits that benefit the general public.
“We must act now to heal the epi-
demics caused by small, invisible vi-
ruses and to heal those caused by the
great and visible social injustices,” he
said.
By “starting from the love of God,
placing the peripheries at the center
and the last in first place,” he said, “a
healthier world will be possible.”
Recovering from the pandemic will
require action rooted in tangible love,
“anchored in hope and founded in
faith,” he said, “otherwise, we will
come out of the crisis worse.”
The pope concluded by praying, “May
the Lord help us and give us the
strength to come out of it better, re-
sponding to the needs of today’s
world.”
