| I
welcome you to our parish family and I hope that you will see the
advantage of getting involved with the many ministries and
activities that your parish has to offer.
We have lively and
enriching liturgies and offer a variety of social, educational and
spiritual events for you to attend or get involved in.
The parish has
been here since October 23, 1959 when Archbishop Hurley established
it. We had masses in the Holiday Inn until the new church was
built; now known as Fr. Flynn Hall. The present church was
dedicated in 1984 and has been in constant use since that time.
At present, the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular
administer and serve the parish community, along with the wonderful
help of some retired priests.
We look forward to
your worshipping with us and adding your talents and gifts to our
wonderful faith family.
Mission Statement
Our Lady Queen of
Martyrs Parish is a Catholic faith community in the Diocese of
Venice in Florida under the care of the Franciscan Friars of the
Third Order Regular.
Each of us is called by
baptism to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to our own and to
all with whom we come in contact regardless of race, color or creed.
Our sacramental
life touches each person from birth to death and our charity reaches
out to all members of God's family.
Our Lady Queen of
Martyrs Parish family worships in an attractive church on a peaceful
and beautifully kept complex. All who seek God are welcome to
become a member of our parish family. |
