My first time celebrating with my people there. My 3rd time attending mass at Queen of Peace. I also did an event there once, and attended mass then, too. Very beautiful and modern church. The restrooms were OK, there were no toilet paper in a couple stalls, I actually have to ask for some. The acoustic in the church were clear. Since it was organized by the Filipinos, there was a reception, a huge one with lots of our dishes from our country, and entertainment. Thank you for the hospitality! Thank you for the invite!

The warmth and welcome that we have received is beyond words. Thank you.

I noticed a lot of young families and they had space for a student ministries now as well. I will say this church isn't for everyone though. The messages are deep and can be challenging at times and that seems to be the point of their "Outward Communities" that they encourage everyone to be apart of. Its not your typical church music experience either. The music seems to be geared towards a "younger" sound, but the gospel message is clearly portrayed through worship. Overall, it's a church worth trying out!
