SFC Youth Center
The MQSP Youth Center is a vital and uniting space for our parish community. The building is located on the grounds of St. Frances Cabrini Church, in what was a convent for the School Sisters of St. Francis who, in years past, served the former Parish of St. Frances Cabrini. After the completion of some repair and renovation work, the building was been assigned a new purpose.
The Youth Center of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish was opened on June 13, 2021. This space is not only used by our parish Youth Group; it is also where smaller meetings and events are held by various parish planners and organizations.
Our MQSP Youth Center is a truly welcoming place; it is not only one in which the opportunity to grow in knowledge, faith and grace is extended to all, it is one of the spaces of our parish where the future is envisioned and fostered. Welcome and God be with you.

About MQS Youth Group Director
On Feb. 27, 2023, Rachael Kriger joined Mary, Queen of Saints Parish after serving as a youth minister at Blessed Trinity Parish in Ocala, Fla., and St. Oscar Romero Parish in Canonsburg, Pa. She is a graduate of our parish’s Our Lady of Fatima School (Class of 2011) and has served as the OLOF Varsity Girls Basketball coach for 10 years, with her last season being the 2023-24 year. She was also the school's Varsity Soccer co-head coach for four seasons.
After graduating from Hopewell High School in 2015, Rachael earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English: Journalism, from California University of Pennsylvania; and a Master of Arts in Media Communication from Point Park University. In March 2023, she graduated with an Master of Arts in Pastoral Theology from St. Joseph's College of Maine. Rachael's media experience includes both newspaper and online publications. She also contributes regularly as a sports writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and formerly the Beaver County Times.
Rachael is looking forward to serving our parish and our mission to evangelize by using all her background skills and gifts as she jumps into both roles, the Youth Ministry Director and Communications Director.
Rachael lives in Hopewell, Beaver County. Her fiancé, Luke Palmer, is her ready 'assistant' in all things youth ministry. Shortly after joining the parish as youth minister, Rachael became a member of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish, after calling Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish home since childhood.
