Happy Father’s Day… In anticipation of Fathers Day, I would like to wish all fathers, grandfathers, etc… a very happy, peaceful and blessed Father’s Day. We hear much about neglectful fathers but we rarely hear anything about good fathers and there are so many of them too. We will honor our fathers on this Father’s Day, June 19^th, with a special recognition and prayer. God Bless you all.  

 

Blood Drive… There will be a blood drive on July 17, at St. Peter, details later.

Parish registration forms are available in the vestibule, or call the Parish Office at 662-226-2490.    

 

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)

 

IF… Please if you cannot serve at a given Mass as Lector or Eucharist Minister, please call a replacement or call the Rectory. These are special ministries and a replacement should be found, if you cannot serve.
