Healing Mass… Mass this coming Friday June 1^st is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and conversation.

 

Memorial Day… We take this opportunity to wish you all a happy peaceful Memorial Day with family and friends. If you are traveling please be careful. Let us remember with love those who have gone before us and served our country, and those who are in harms way each day because of war. Mass will be at 9:00am.        

 

Blood Drive…   We are coming to beg again for the gift of life through the very selfless gift of giving blood. Our Blood Drive is June 10^th immediately starting at 10:00am thru 2:00pm. Please sign on the list provided in the vestibule as you leave church.  

 

Daily Mass … Now that school is out and there is a little more leisure time, there is no better up bringing for our children then to take them to Mass from time to time and explain its benefits.

 

RIP… Your prayers are requested for the happy repose of the soul of “Tootie” Perrin whom the Lord called home this week. May God grant her eternal rest and may God Bless her family and friends.

 

 Sharing Your Blessings … We thank all those at St. Peter’s who have generously given to the annual Catholic Service Appeal, “Sharing Your Blessings.” We ask those who have not sent in your pledge to please consider a gift to support training our future priests, faith formation of young adults, providing help to those in need, and retired priests. “…God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8). Each of us is called to respond in faith, knowing and trusting that God recognizes your willingness to live out the message of the Gospel. Please go on line to www.jacksondiocese.org to learn more about the Catholic Service Appeal or to make an on line donation.

 

*Sacrament of Reconciliation, Saturdays 5:15pm – 5:45pm**and by appointment*

 

Choose Life…  When the time comes when parents are able to select the genetic traits of their offspring, “I would not oppose selecting for intelligence. We could assume that people of higher intelligence would have good consequences for society.” This statement from Peter Singer, philosopher, author and professor of bioethics at Princeton University, led columnist Jeff Jacoby to question the good consequences produced by Mr. Singer’s intelligence through his advocacy of a 28-day period during which newborns could be killed and his conclusion that breeding children for spare parts is “not something really wrong in itself.” (Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe, 3/4/09)

 

 

Please… If you should happen to be moving out of our parish, please, let us know and if you are new in our parish we would be so grateful if you would register so we can keep our records straight. Thank You
