CongratulationsWe congratulate and pray God’s Special Blessings on Shirley Cupstid, Luther Owens, Blair Owens, Judy Bloodworth, and Breanna Mardis. Who are and have been studying our faith and hope to become part of our Church Family at Easter. Around St. Peter we emphasize the word ‘Family’ a lot and as future members of this Church Family, please pray for these special people.    

 

Special Mass We will have a Special Mass for our Young People grade 7 thru 12, at 6:00pm on Wednesday March 16, 2011. Again we ask our Young People to serve as Servers, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, etc… There will be no morning Mass on that day.                                                                                 

 

Eucharistic Ministers We have added several new Eucharistic 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.

 

Eucharistic MinistersI made a special appeal to our Confirmation Class last Sunday to consider volunteering for the special ministry of Eucharist Minister. As of yet I haven’t heard from them personally. It is very important that our young people be involved in this special ministry.   

 

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: LIVING GOSPEL VALUES IN THE 21ST CENTURY.        

 

R.C.I.A The RCIA will meet this Tuesday February 8, 2011. We encourage those who have been participating, and anybody else who might be interested, to please join us each Tuesday evening after the 6:00pm Mass.  Topic: The Holy Eucharist.

 

Cursillo A women’s Cursillo will be held March 10-13, 2011 and a men’s Cursillo March 17-20, 2011 at the Duncan Gray Center north of Canton. These will be the 127th and 128th Cursillos held in the Diocese of Jackson. Anybody interested please contact Father Ruane at 662-226-2490.  

 

Choose Life Pope John Paul II’s words speak a message of hope to the elderly. “You are not on the margins of the life of the Church, passive elements in a world of excessive motion, but active subjects of a period of human existence which is rich in spirituality and humanity. You still have a mission to fulfill and a contribution to make.”   

 

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