QUEEN OF PEACE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY 10900 S.W. 24th Avenue, Gainesville, Florida 32607 (352) 332-6279 Fax (352) 331-7347 Dear Queen of Peace Catholic Academy Families, Attached you'll find our Queen of Peace Catholic Academy Faith Form for the 2015-2016 school year. Along with our new online registration process this year, you’ll find that our faith form has a new look. It consolidates information and outlines how you’re living out your faith life through our community. Just as before, families indicate the ministries in which they serve and now the form has been expanded to include which Mass you attend and how often. With five Masses each weekend, we need your help. Envelope usage creates a record of your participation. On the envelope you may note the hours your family serves in ministry and you’ll even see that you may write in your goal to follow Christ more closely in the week ahead. Electronic payment households are also encouraged to use their envelope weekly and mark that gifts are made electronically. For those of you whose home parish is not Queen of Peace Catholic Community, please have your pastor complete the form and return it to the school office. Thank you for all you do and the sacrifices you make to ensure a Catholic education for your student/s. Together we are able to build the kingdom of God and prepare our students for the richness of a life lived in faith. God Bless You, It is not by accident that the collection is taken up at the offertory. Along with gifts of bread and wine, we offer something of ourselves, the first fruits of our labors, to be brought to the altar as a sacrifice so that we may be made holy. Don’t miss the “teachable moment” of using your offertory envelope at Mass each week to show thankfulness and generosity. Your gift of time, talent and treasure is your sacrifice and praise to the Lord!
