A Message from Our Principal

Dear Families,

Queen of Peace School could not function as it does without robust volunteer support from our school parents. I noted in a recent memo how parent volunteers are the workhorses of BINGO. This program makes vital financial contributions to the school on top of being a community event that brings life to campus, carries forward Catholic tradition, and offers a real-world space for the kind of authentic social life that is threatened by the seductive glow of "digital spaces." 

If BINGO doesn't scratch your volunteer itch, then you may be curious about other opportunities to become a steward of the parish or school. Here is a list of groups or activities to consider:

1) St. Vincent de Paul. A group that is the hands and feet of Christ to the poor. Next meeting is 9/9 at 6:30 in the parish office. Contact Ron Bulach if interested. Email: ronbulach@hotmail.com.

2) Parent Teacher Committee (PTC). A group that organizes fundraisers and events to benefit the students and teachers. Next meeting is 9/10 at 6:00 in the art room. Contact Theresa Davis if interested. Email: ptc@qphamilton.org.

3) Queen of Peace Athletic Committee (QPAC). A group that organizes fundraisers and events to help fund QP athletics. Next meeting is 9/8 at 7:00 at Happy Hour House. Contact Rick Graf if interested. Email: grafra0612@gmail.com. 

4) Family Promise. A group that helps run Dot's House at St. Julie Church a few times a year. The organization helps families with kids find stable housing and employment. Contact Rosemary Gebhart if interested. Email: gebhart_r@hotmail.com. 

5) School-Based Volunteering. Hot lunch worker. Pizza lunch worker. Concession stand worker. Monster Mash, Spirit Olympic, Drawdown, Field Day worker. Athletic coach. Substitute teacher (not technically volunteering since it's paid work, but still a major help, so I'm counting it!), guest presenter, mystery reader, etc. Contact Josh Mears if interested. Email: jmears@qphamilton.org.

6) Lector or Eucharistic Minister at Mass. Participating in a church ministry is a unique way to participate in the life and mission of the church and school. Contact Alison Helton if interested. Email: parishoffice@qphamilton.org.

7) Adult Choir. Contact Kevin Hoffman. Email: khoffman@qphamilton.org.

8) Building and Grounds. There is a real need for some folks to take the reigns from long-time volunteers who do all the watering, beautification, and other things around campus that help keep our place looking good. Contact Chad Riegert if interested. Email: criegert@qphamilton.org.

9) Queen of Peace Festival. Our festival is one of the first of the summer in the Greater Cincinnati area and helps kick off festival season. I know of one or two booth captains who have been doing the job for generations and are looking for new blood! If you are interested in helping out in any way with the QP festival, contact Ken O'Connor. Email: oconnokm@yahoo.com.

10) Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. There are a number of homebound parishioners who are not able to receive the Eucharist unless someone brings this gift to them in their homes. If you are interested in this ministry, contact Alison Helton in the parish office. Email: parishoffice@qphamilton.org.

In all that we do, we ask God for the clarity of mind and singularity of purpose to think of our sacred mission: to see Christ in ourselves and Christ in others. 

Sincerely,

Josh
