SPREADING GOD’S WORD BEHIND BARS

So far, we have raised just over $3000 to buy Catholic Bibles for use in local prison ministry.  Thank you to those who have supported this important but often forgotten ministry.

 

We have added an online giving link for this purpose.  You can find it on our website or by using the link below.  Those writing checks, please make them payable to Queens and mark ‘Prison Bibles’ on the memo line or the envelope.  You can put in the collection at Mass or dropped off at the parish office.     

 

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching” (Heb 13:8-9).
