Blood Drive… This is our weekend for the Blood Drive it will be taking place this Sunday morning, July 17th beginning at 10:00am. It is not too late to give blood, sincere gratitude to those who have volunteered to do so. Remember giving blood is saving lives.

 

Please Note… Because of the extreme heat these days and because I like to have Mass on Tuesday evening in conjunction with our RCIA group, since I will be leaving shortly on vacation we will drop the Tuesday evening Mass for now and start back in the fall.

 

RIP… Please remember in prayer the happy repose of the souls of Jim Criss and Mark Cerilli who were laid to rest this past week. May God Bless their 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.                                                                                                                

 

“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…  “Abortion kills not only unborn children; it destroys constitutional order and the common good, which is assured only when the life of every human being is legally protected.”  (Cardinal Francis George of Chicago)

 

Quotes……………………………………………………………

3. Many of life’s failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. (Thomas Edison)
