On July 8, 1947 Archbishop John F. Noll assigned Fr. William Faber to establish a new parish north of Fort Wayne for parishioners living in that area who had been attending the Church of the Most Precious Blood.  More than four years went by before this new parish, to be named Queen of Angels, began to function independently.

May 22, 1950 was the Big Day –– Groundbreaking, then the beginning of construction.  A severe winter delayed construction from November, 1950 until late March, 1951.  Queen of Angels School was able to open on September 21, 1951 with the Precious Blood Sisters agreeing to staff the school. Sr. Mary Sienna Langhois was the first principal, and 83 students were enrolled; the school consisted of two classrooms containing four grades.

The first Mass was celebrated in the barely completed Church on October 6, 1951 – a Wedding Mass!  On the next day, October 7, 1951, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, Msgr. Charles Feltes, Chancellor of the Fort Wayne Diocese, dedicated the Church.  Queen of Angels Parish at this time had 255 registered families.

Through the hard work and sacrifices of many parishioners, a long-desired Activities Center was added to the Parish in Spring of 1998; the Activities Center included a gym, kitchen, and meeting rooms.  The Activities Center was named for our founding pastor, Msgr. William Faber, who joined us to celebrate our Parish 50^th Anniversary Mass and the official groundbreaking for the Activities Center on September 14, 1997.

In January 2003, we had an extensive renovation of our Church and Sanctuary.

In June 2018, Father Zachary Barry was assigned to Queen of Angels Parish as our tenth pastor.
                                           
Our Parish, at this time, numbers 529 registered households and 180 children in our school (Pre-School through 8^th Grade).

This year we started our own Knights of Columbus Council (#17867), 
under the patronage of St. Joseph, Terror of Demons. See here for more info.

2022 marks the 75th anniversary of Queen of Angels Parish, which will be celebrated in August in conjunction with the feast of the Queenship of Mary. 

It remains our pleasure to serve the Fort Wayne area northwest of downtown!
 

Every Catholic Parish is required to have a Finance Council to advise and assist the pastor in matters related to parish finances and administration. Members meet monthly to discuss the current status and future financial goals of the parish.

At present, the members of the Finance Committee are:

Tim Kearney (Chairman)
Alan Bell
Brandon Hathaway
Suzie Jordan
Willie Romero

Financial questions, concerns, or suggestions can be directed to Fr. Zak or Tim (tkearney@alumni.nd.edu).
