Message from our Pastor
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus Christ,
Autumn is just around the corner and with that fast approaching, we are taking a look at where we currently stand with the Annual Pastoral Appeal 2018, “Blessed are We”.
Through generous donations to the Annual Pastoral Appeal from across the Diocese, there is hope for the future of our Catholic faith. We are blessed to have three priests to care for our spiritual needs. Our priests, Father Sebastian, Father Joseph, and Father James, offer Mass, minister to the sick, provide counseling, and help us see the need of Christ in our lives.
Funds from the Annual Pastoral Appeal are utilized to support clergy, religious, vocations, and seminarian education.
Donations to our Annual Pastoral Appeal enable us to offer many services and programs to help our brothers and sisters in need. Our collaborative efforts focus on education and raising awareness of the sanctity of life. Catholic Social Services and the Office of Life, Justice and Advocacy offers hope to pregnant and alienated women whose future seems dim. The Respect Life ministry has provided these women the encouragement and resources they need to consider life as a successful alternative to abortion. Over 550 Catholic leaders work with our Life Ministry Offices to
orchestrate pro-life efforts throughout our five counties, saving lives for Christ.
Part of our services focuses on programs that offer ministerial, organizational, temporal and/or fiscal support for our parishes, schools as well as various diocesan ministries and services.
Some of the many trainings offered under this category are Liturgical Ministry Workshops, The Order of Celebrating Matrimony Workshops, Sacristans Workshop, and The Diocesan RCIA Institute. These educational workshops through the Office of Worship are offered to enhance worship in all 80 parishes across the Diocese.
Financial commitments to the Annual Pastoral Appeal from our faith-filled community give hope to our youth through Catholic education and formation programs, which provide opportunity for spiritual, academic and social growth.
Our Lady Queen of Peace has paid over 70% of our goal of $106,044 from
344 parish families. Envelopes are available in the church and in the Parish
office. We urge you to prayerfully consider to participate. You may place an
envelope in the Sunday collection and we will be sure to send it to the Diocese.
May God continue to bless you!

A Welcome Message from our Pastor, Father Sebastian
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus Christ,
We warmly welcome all of you to the first Catholic church in West Pasco County. Together with “Our Blessed Mother” we gather at the Table of her Son, Jesus to get nourished and to proclaim His message of love in words and deeds.
We invite you to be a part of our loving Community being present at our Eucharistic celebrations and other events. Every First Friday at 5.00 p.m. is our Family Dinner Time in the Parish Hall. We gather to know one another and to build up new friendships. This year we started the St. Lorenzo 5 Star Breakfast Buffet. Dates are published in the bulletin. You must try it as it is the "best in town".
Please visit this magnificent Church adorned with colorful stained glass entrance doors, windows, Carillon Tower, Stations of the Cross and the Doves of Peace; stay here in solitude to get blessings upon you and your family through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
We look forward to seeing you! May God bless you.
