Welcome
If you are new (or returning) to our parish, our community, and/or our website, we welcome you. We hope you’ll find that our churches are filled with smiling faces, warm and faithful people, and an open spot in our pews, saved just for you.
Situated in historic Salem, MA, our parish has embraced the mission of offering hospitality and healing to all, as our main channels of evangelization. As a parish, we strive to reach out to those who are dis- or un-affiliated from church and to form our parishioners to be missionary disciples.
Join us for Mass or for any of the programs or events we offer to help you grow deeper in faith and friendship with Jesus.
MQOA’s Discipleship Pathway is a spiritual growth strategy designed to help adults, at whatever stage of faith, to constantly progress toward the lives of discipleship.

Wondrous Stories
-
Starts Sunday, October 3rd
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a special celebration of the scriptures with readings from the children’s lectionary. These readings are brought alive for the children using methods that include drama, and an interactive style.
The celebration of the Wondrous Stories is held in the IC Chapel during the 8:30 am and 11:30 am Mass and follows the same structure as the Liturgy of the Word in the main church. A celebration of God’s presence in the Word in a manner that is more suitable to the understanding of children. It recognizes the need to adapt the readings in such a way that respects the spiritual life of young children while retaining the same structure used in the main assembly. Children are called forward after the opening prayer, head to the chapel, and return to their families during the offertory.
Wondrous Stories is designed for children in Kindergarten through Grade 5, however, all children are welcome. Family members are welcome to accompany the children.
Wondrous Stories is led by staff members, Charlie Joyce and Steven Antonio and is always looking for volunteers for this ministry.

MQOA SundayTune in Sundays for MQOA Sunday, an interactive, engaging conversation centered around the Sunday Gospel.
MQOASunday is a casual kitchen-table conversation that makes the Gospels approachable and relatable and is a great way to connect with people in the parish and the world.
We’ll be using our weekly Beta Group lessons as the base of our conversations, and will take questions and prayer requests live.
We hope you’ll check it out, and that it will enhance your own experience of scripture!

Volunteer at Mass
-
You'll note two new roles for volunteers, along with the usual lector and Eucharistic Ministry roles. We need greeters at each Mass to greet cars at the gates and welcome them and hand out bulletins. We also need help in the parking lot directing cars to parking spots. Even though we are outdoors, we still want to be amazingly hospitable and welcoming to all who join us. These are easy jobs, but vital. Please consider serving in this way!
And, we need help at each Mass setting up and cleaning up. This allows our other ministers to concentrate on their roles and to be hospitable to guests and is so important to making our Masses run smoothly.
Thank you for your willingness to PRAY, LECTOR, SERVE COMMUNION, GREET, PARK, SETUP/CLEANUP for our Masses this spring!
