Destination Imagination Two Teams Advance to State
A Message From Sister Therese
It is with great pride that I welcome you to our Queen of Peace School Web-site. Queen of Peace School is committed to deepening faith in Jesus Christ, and to providing a holistic learning approach to faith development and education within a Catholic environment. A quality education is one of the most important gifts a child can receive. It is where their gifts are nurtured; their character shaped; and their lives transformed. Our small class size, rigorous curriculum and strong moral guidance provide the individual attention a child needs to achieve personal success. At Queen of Peace School, you will find a caring community that celebrates the individuality of each child, helps them to discover who they are and inspires them to realize who they can become. Queen of Peace School invites our students to dream. Without dreams, there is no creativity, no inventiveness. Without dreams, there is no adventure, no discovery. Without dreams, there is no hope, no faith. My prayer is that our children are guided on the roads they travel not by fears, but by dreams and faith. There is no better place to determine, refine, and realize dreams than Queen of Peace School. Please call to set up an appointment to tour the school or stop by my office to learn more about this wonderful faith-based educational environment. Thank you!
Some History
Queen of Peace School was founded in 1912 as a vital part of the educational ministry of the Church and that of Queen of Peace Parish. The Cloquet fire of 1918 destroyed the school along with the church, rectory and convent. The school continued uninterrupted in various make shift situations. The rebuilding of the school, rectory and convent began immediately with the church soon to follow. Within a year all were completed. The school hall served as church for the congregation until 1926 when the present church was completed. Rt. Rupert Seidenbusch OSB Bishop of St. Cloud first organized the parish on October 1st, 1881. This church was named Holy Name of Jesus and Mary. Rev. A. Lemay was the first pastor; Fr. Giraux incorporated the church under a new name, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Rev Msgr. Limmer built a new church when the former one was struck by lightning and was destroyed. He was also present when the church, school, convent and rectory were destroyed in the Cloquet fire in 1918.
