About Us

Exterior view of Our Lady Queen of Peace Roman Catholic Church.

Sunlight fractures through stained glass, casting crimson and sapphire hues across wooden pews worn smooth by generations of prayerful hands. A young family kneels in quiet reverence, the scent of incense curling upward as Father Kamil's voice rises in steady cadence, weaving scripture into lives marked by everyday trials. This is Our Lady Queen of Peace Roman Catholic Church, where the divine meets the human in Hewitt's gentle embrace.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you." These words from Christ resonate through our parish, built on foundations of unwavering faith since our doors first opened to seekers of solace. Parishioners from Byzantine roots to lifelong locals find unity here, leaving liturgies with hearts uplifted and sermons that pierce the soul. Our ornate cross, gilded and towering, symbolizes the eternal promise of redemption amid life's tempests.

Beyond Sunday worship, we cultivate a family atmosphere where children's laughter echoes in the halls and seniors share stories of graces received. Reviews echo this truth: one visitor, accustomed to Eastern rites, departed feeling profoundly peaceful. Another family calls us a blessing, especially in trying times. At 1911 Union Valley Rd, we stand as Hewitt's beacon, inviting all to encounter the quiet power of communal prayer and Christ's abiding presence.

What We Offer

Our sacraments anchor the soul: Daily Mass at 8 AM offers intimate encounters with the Eucharist; Sunday liturgies at 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM, and 5 PM fill the nave with song and solemnity. Confessions Saturdays from 4-5 PM provide merciful release. Baptism classes prepare families for sacred vows; RCIA welcomes seekers into the fold. Adoration hours before the Blessed Sacrament invite silent communion. Weddings under our vaulted ceilings unite hearts in covenant. Each rite, rich in tradition, draws worshippers closer to divine peace.
