NOTICE: End of Dispensation

End of Dispensation for Sunday Mass Attendance: July 1, 2021

Bishop Felton of Duluth and the other bishops of Minnesota have issued a letter explaining that July 1 Marks the End of the Dispensation for Sunday Mass attendance in Minnesota. Although the general dispensation will no longer be available, the Church has always recognized that certain circumstances can excuse a person from the requirement to observe the obligation. (Click here to view a copy of the statement.)

Why is attending Mass in-person so important? The celebration of the Eucharist truly is the source and summit of our faith. Pope Francis, in his homily on the Feast of Corpus Christi in 2018, said, “Jesus prepares a place for us here below because the Eucharist is the beating heart of the Church. It gives her birth and rebirth; it gathers her together and gives her strength. But the Eucharist also prepares for us a place on high, in eternity, for it is the Bread of heaven.” Thank you for your understanding and for those who are just beginning to make your return to Mass, welcome home!

ADORATION CHAPEL >>>>>>

As we approach the November 1^st date to reopen the Queen of Peace Adoration Chapel, there are several open spots we are hoping to fill, and relatively quickly. We ask that you prayerfully consider committing one hour out of your week to spend time in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Here are some tools which may help you in discerning your time to spend with our Lord:

What is Adoration?

Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to this question. Many of us were not “raised” with the wonderful gift of Eucharistic Adoration. This video provides great insight into this very question.

How can I make time for Adoration?

Fr. Josh Johnson offers tools and techniques to help us make time and remain faithful in visiting our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. “When, where, what, who, and why?”

What do we do in Adoration?

There are many things we can do during Eucharistic Adoration, but to make the time most effective, there are certain things we can do. In this video, Fr. Josh Johnson puts forth some simple things you can use to help you improve your relationship with God through Adoration.
