Mary, Queen of Peace Parish was founded in 1988 under the leadership of their first pastor, Rev. William O'Donnell. Originally, masses were held at Rouquette Lodge. As the parish grew, the church was moved to a shopping center on Highway 22. At this time, DonahueFavret Contractors was contracted to build the permanent facility. The project consisted of a pre-engineered building with brick and storefront exterior and interior drywall partitions. The beautiful sanctuary features cathedral ceilings and all clear finished oak millwork. The $2,200,000 contract covered 16,400 square feet and was completed in 270 days. In January, 1996, the new church facility was dedicated. It included the Worship Center, as well as a number of administration offices which are used for a wide array of parish meetings, and religious education classrooms for over 800 children who attend CCD. Mary, Queen of Peace currently serves 1,500 families and is continually developing new programs and ministries. The entire site was developed for future structures and is fully paved and landscaped.
