Welcome to Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish
Apart from providing useful information about the parish, its groups and the various activities, it is our desire to use this website to share our faith with you, providing resources and links for faith development, both personal and family.
We also want to facilitate piety and prayer and hope you will find the Daily Mass Readings (with commentary) helpful.
Since 2008, priests of the Opus Dei Prelature have been entrusted with the pastoral care of Our Lady Queen of Peace. See Daily Message taken from the writings of St Josemaría, Founder of Opus Dei, which gives some insights into his charism.
We would appreciate your feedback. God bless you and please visit us often!

Lay Ministry Collection, 14-15 May 2022
On World Vocations Sunday (8 May 2022), we remind ourselves to pray continuously for vocations to the priesthood. An urgent need, too, is to find new ways for priests and people to work together in parishes: to harness the time and talent of lay people and support them in developing their skills for use in the faith community.

Archdiocese of Dublin Statement of Mission
Alongside the Synodal Pathway process, the Archbishop set up a Task Force to explore ways of renewing the church in our Diocese. The Task Force report was issued in late Summer entitled, ‘Building Hope’. One of its recommendations was that the Diocese should produce a Statement of Mission that would be a reference point for the process of renewal. The Archbishop issued this Statement of Mission on 9 February 2022.
