Important Information for Our Family of Parishes
Our first bulletin as a Family of Parishes will begin on October 1, 2023. At that time, you can also visit Our Family website at www.cheektowagacatholicfamily.org. The Queen of Martyrs website will still be updated and available untill December 31, 2023.
Queen of Martyrs Parish Office is now open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 9am to 1pm. Parishioners are welcome to stop and visit us, request Mass for 2024, certificate of Baptism, or any other church document needed for sacraments (i.e. sponsor or Godparent letter of recommendation).
Effective January 1, 2024, you should expect some changes in Mass schedule for our Family of Parishes. Our new schedule will be developed by the parishioners of our 4 churches who have been working in the Liturgical Pillar (not by our priests or Diocese). It will then be approved by our priests and the Bishops office.
