We are the people of Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish, in Brook Park, Ohio, dedicated to following the example of our Lord, Jesus Christ, through the Scriptures and Traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. We gather together to celebrate, to share, and to be nourished by the Eucharist. We promote religious education, spiritual growth and moral values by being faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. To show our love for God and one another, we live our lives committed to the dignity and salvation of each person, and we live our faith through compassion and service to those in need.

Fr. Rob
Dear Parishioners of Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish:
I am looking forward to meeting you as I begin my new assignment as pastor of Mary Queen of the Apostles. I will be a familiar face to some because I am also Pastor at St. Bridget of Kildare Parish in Parma and we have shared many activities between our two parishes, as well as St. John Bosco Parish. We have shared our OCIA, bereavement ministries, communal penance services, the Lenten Soup and Conversations, Women’s Day of Reflection, and more. I have been fed by the Queen’s Cooks on more than one occasion!
I met with Fr. Michael and the parish staff on May 22. I really appreciated their enthusiasm and zeal and their commitment to the parish family of Mary Queen of the Apostles. Fr. Michael has been very helpful in assisting me with this transition. I am most grateful and I know we will all keep him in prayer during his transition as well.
Two parishes sharing one pastor will be a new experience for all of us. This concept is not new in the Diocese of Cleveland. Approximately 60 parishes are sharing a pastor at the present time. That number will continue to increase. But for St. Bridget of Kildare and Mary Queen of the Apostles this will be a new period in our history. It will also be an adjustment. With God’s help, with the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, and the great people of faith who comprise our two parishes, I am confident we will do well.
Between our two parishes there are over 3,000 households. Because of this number, the Diocese is assigning a priest, Fr. Jose Roel D. Cases (from the Philippines) to assist. He will be full time and will assist at both parishes. I do not know when he will arrive. However, in the meantime, I have arranged for a few priests to help celebrate Masses and confessions. Our parish Mass schedules will remain uninterrupted.
I try to learn names, so please introduce yourself to me. My residence remains at St. Bridget of Kildare, but Mary Queen of the Apostles Parish is only twelve minutes away. I do not mind the commute … besides, there is a McDonald’s between us!
May God Bless You,
Fr. Rob Wisniewski
