The R.C.I.A… will meet this week sharply at 6:30pm, 2/7/2012.  Topic: Holy Orders and Annointing.

 

Congratulations… Around St. Peter we emphasize the word ‘Family’ a lot and as future members of this Church Family, please pray for these special people. We congratulate and pray God’s Special Blessings on Ann Hart, Diane Marascalco, Cynthia Gary, Bonnie Keene, and Brandon Browning. Who are and have been studying our faith and hope to become part of our Church Family at Easter.

 

EUCHARIST MINISTERS… WE HAVE ADDED SEVERAL NEW EUCHARIST MINISTERS RECENTLY AND THEY WILL BE SERVING AS THEY ARE ASSIGNED. THIS IS THE MOST SPECIAL MINISTRY OF OUR CATHOLIC FAITH. WE ARE ASKING EVERYBODY TO BE FAITHFUL WHEN THEY ARE ASSIGNED AND WHEN UNABLE TO SERVE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT.

 

“Why Catholic?”… Our next session of “Why Catholic?” is to begin in conjunction with the Holy Season of Lent. The purpose is to have it completed before Holy Week. In addition to those who have participated already, we encourage others to consider participating in the next session entitled: Pray - Christian Prayer, Continued…

 

Choose Life … “What allows the injustice and pain of abortion to continue unabated? What shields the horror of the abortion practice from scrutiny and exposure? Lies, whole webs of deceit. Mountains of evasions and a cultural elite who know, but don’t want to know, the truth.” (Fr. Thomas King, S.J., former Georgetown University professor)
