We are the people of Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish, in Brook Park, Ohio, dedicated to following the example of our Lord, Jesus Christ, through the Scriptures and Traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. We gather together to celebrate, to share, and to be nourished by the Eucharist. We promote religious education, spiritual growth and moral values by being faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. To show our love for God and one another, we live our lives committed to the dignity and salvation of each person, and we live our faith through compassion and service to those in need.

CLERGY'S MESSAGE
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
SAVE THE DATE: CHRISTMAS IN JULY You are invited to a celebration of Christmas in July on Thursday, July 25, 8PM, on the patio outside of the Ministry Wing. We will start off with Adoration of Jesus in the Eucharist, a brief reflection on the Incarnation by Fr. Michael, praise and worship, and an evening filled with the spirit of Christmas to hold us over … we heard there will be Christmas cookies too! Bring a lawn chair or blanket. In case of inclement weather, we’ll move inside.
Annual Church Picnic
Our picnic will be held on Sunday, July 28, 12N-4PM on the parish grounds. All members of our parish family are invited to join us for our Annual Parish Picnic. Come for food, games, prizes, our basket raffle and more! Looking forward to seeing you there!
STREAMING
LIVE-STREAMING OF MASSES We will stream and upload the 8AM Masses on Monday and Tuesday mornings to enable our homebound to connect with the parish. For the rest of the week, EWTN telecasts a number of daily Masses, and our Cathedral streams its weekday Masses at 12N. On Sundays, besides the Masses on EWTN, Channel 43 (WUAB-TV) broadcasts two Masses: 8AM and 10AM from our Cathedral. We realize this will be an inconvenience to some folks, but we tried to reach a compromise based on our recent survey. Initially, one possibility was to cut the streaming entirely but we will not do that.
Here's the link to "Q-Tube":

We will also livestream these Masses on our parish Facebook page. You can view the video and other information on this page without being a Facebook member which you can access directly from our parish website mqabrookpark.org or Facebook:

About an hour after Mass concludes, the video will be uploaded to Q-Tube (our parish's YouTube channel). which you can access directly from our parish website: mqabrookpark.org or at "Q-tube" as shown above.
