Description
Monsignor Peter B. O'Connor, first pastor of Queen of Peace Church, invited the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill to staff the newly formed Queen of Peace High School in September of 1930. The sisters brought the spirit and spirituality of their congregation to their ministry of education at QPHS by living out their mission: "We live and work so that all people may be united with God and with one another." For 30 years the Sisters of St. Joseph, the parish priests, and a few lay people formed the faculty and staff of QPHS.In 1960, the De La Salle Christian Brothers came to QPHS bringing with them the spirit and spirituality of their founder St. John Baptist De La Salle. The Brothers came to teach the boys while the Sisters of St. Joseph continued to teach the girls making QPHS a co-institutional high school. In 1981 QPHS moved from being a co-institutional to a co-educational high school staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph, the De La Salle Christian Brothers, and a dedicated lay faculty.Today, our dedicated lay faculty along with the few Sisters on staff continue to keep the spirit and spirituality of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the De La Salle Christian Brothers "alive and well" at QPHS.
