Blood Drive… We are very mindful of that great gift of giving blood to safe the lives of others.  We are having a blood drive here at St. Peter’s on July 17. Won’t you Please, Please consider giving the gift of giving blood to help save a life. Remember July 17th is next Sunday.

 

Congratulations… We congratulate and pray God’s Blessings on Jason and Randee Abraham Neal, whose infant child, Sam Carl, is reborn in the waters of baptism during the Saturday evening Mass on July 9th. May God Bless this family and friends.

 

Hospital Visitation… Please call us at the rectory if you or a member of your family is in the hospital in Grenada or elsewhere. Hospitals have a privacy policy that doesn’t make known the people in the hospital. I would like to visit people while in the hospital if at all possible to pray with them and to give them a little encouragement.                                                                                                                

 

Aged & Infirm Priests… I know some of you make an offering from time to time for this cause but we are trying July 10th as the weekend on which we will take up this offering. We fall way behind on what we need and we are asking everybody to be as generous as possible toward this offering on July the 10th.

 

“Moving In And Out”… Summer time is often a time of transitions for families. We want to say farewell to any people who may be leaving and thank you for your participation in our parish. We also wish to welcome any new individuals or families at St. Peter Parish and we invite you to make yourself known to us and to register with the parish. Parish registration forms are available in the vestibule, or call the Parish Office at 662-226-2490.    

 

Choose Life …  A 2008 federal law will give new or expectant parents the latest information about Down syndrome or other Disabilities, give referrals to support services, and help create a national registry to connect parents with Down Syndrome children. A measure of how necessary this law is, lies in the statistic that 90% of parents who are told their unborn child has Down syndrome choose to abort the child.  (NRL News, 2/09)

 

Quotes……………………………………………………………                          

1. “Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.”(Wayne Dyer)

2. “Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. (Benjamin Franklin) 

3. “There is a sense of exhilaration that comes from facing head-on the hard truths and saying, “We will never give up. We will never capitulate. It might take a long time, but we will find a way to prevail.” (Jim Collins, from his book, Good to Great)
