Welcome to MQOA!
-
If you are new (or returning) to our parish, our community, and/or our website, we welcome you. We hope you’ll find that our churches are filled with smiling faces, warm and faithful people, and an open spot in our pews, saved just for you.
Situated in historic Salem, MA, our parish has embraced the mission of offering hospitality and healing to all, as our main channels of evangelization. As a parish, we strive to reach out to those who are dis- or un-affiliated from church and to form our parishioners to be missionary disciples.
Join us for Mass or for any of the programs or events we offer to help you grow deeper in faith and friendship with Jesus.
MQOA’s Discipleship Pathway is a spiritual growth strategy designed to help adults, at whatever stage of faith, to constantly progress toward the lives of discipleship.

Healing Prayer
"This is the mission of the Church: the Church heals, it cures. Sometimes, I speak of the Church as if it were a field hospital. It's true: there are many, many wounded! So many people need their wounds healed! This is the mission of the Church: to heal the wounds of the heart, to open doors, to free people, to say that God is good, God forgives all, God is the Father, God is affectionate, God always waits for us." - Pope FrancisWith this, healing and evangelization are at the core of the mission of our parish. We offer many paths to healing and reconciliation, all rooted in the Gospel.

The 5 Keys
Brought to MQOA by Fr. Murray, Unbound (The Five Keys) is a safe, loving, and effective prayer model that helps people deeply embrace the Good News of the Gospel. In these hour-long prayer sessions, the person is guided to make five prayerful responses to Jesus that release the power of the Gospel into their hearts. Each key helps to access God's grace and unlock the door to freedom from sin and emotional bondage. Those who have experienced this, especially at MQOA, testify to the life-changing healing that follows.

The Couples/Marriage Course
The Pre-Marriage & Marriage Course, from the team that brought us Alpha. The Pre-Marriage Course is a series of five sessions and The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions, both designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong relationship/marriage.“There’s no counseling, no airing of dirty linen in public, no group therapy – and it seems to work.”

When you take this assessment online, your results will go into our system so that we can help you make the connection between your gifts and areas of service in our ministry.
