Lent At St. Peter Church Let us all make a special effort to make Lent a special time in Our Church.

Here are some suggestions:                             4. A good confession by participating              6. A kinder, gentler people

1. Daily Mass when possible.                              in our Penance Service.                                7. Less negative gossip. 

2. Participating in “Why Catholic?”                5. Prayer when possible in the home                8. More kindness , compassion, 

3. Participating in the Mass of Healing.               with the family.                                               and affirmation.

Fish FryOur Annual Fish Fry is this Friday at St. Peter, the Knights will start serving at 5:00pm and will continue after ‘The Way of The Cross’ until about 7:30pm or until everyone is served. The Knight’s will have fried and baked fish, if you don’t have a ticket see a Knight! 

NOTE: Since our biggest goal is to have people participate in our Friday Lenten Services, we are hoping that as many of our Knight’s as possible will join us in church at 6:15pm.

Choose Life Scripture tells us that the man who committed the first murder claimed ignorance about the one he had killed, telling God he did not know where his brother was. His answer was a lie. Similarly, the U.S. Supreme Court’s claim not to know when human life begins is an attempt to escape their responsibility to protect their vulnerable brothers and sisters.” Fr. Frank Prvone, the Southern Cross, 10/08
