1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church History
Our Lady Queen of Peace History
There is no history of the first Catholics on the Boothbay peninsula – it was a most Protestant enclave. Life here was not easy and records show that it was very difficult to sustain a living for more than nine months out of a year. For anyone who chose to live here, the land was unforgiving but the ocean was plentiful and living off the water became a way of life. As a visiting missionary noted about his church location, Catholic churches in areas like ours were never given the opportunity to build in the best locations. He continued that Catholic churches were most often relegated to the “other side of the track.” History indicates the eastern side of Boothbay Harbor was the less desirable side in the olden days – pogey factories and laborers and seasonal artists colonies populated it.
From the very beginning of the Boothbay peninsula’s Catholicism, and until the present day, Our Lady Queen of Peace has enjoyed a mix of those from away and those who live here year-round. The congregation has always been made up of immigrants, artists, servants, fishermen, merchants and builders. Some of us call ourselves “summer people” which usually means we have two homes – one here and one someplace else where we spend the winter. The summer congregation, often filling the upper church, is comprised of a small handful of year-round communicants, a few more “summer people” and a vast majority of weekend travelers and visitors - a sea of changing faces.
Before the church was built, The Boothbay Register, Boothbay Harbor's weekly paper publishing since 1876, listed various local halls as Mass sites. Among these is the Knights of Pythias Opera House, now called The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor. Still in existence, The Opera House is a "must-see" to experience the whole of Our Lady's history: www.boothbayoperahouse.com, for more information...
