SPRING BREAK
Due to
spring break, we will not be having our Youth Lenten gathering this weekend. It will resume on March 18 at 5:00. Supper will be served. There are no Bible School classes this Sunday,
they will resume on March 18.
RCIA
Because some
of our regulars will not be able to be with us, and also because of spring break, we will
not meet this week. We will resume on
Tuesday, March 20. Our topics will be
anointing and matrimony.
WAY OF THE CROSS
We will have
the Way of the Cross, and Benediction of the most holy Blessed Sacrament on Friday at 6:00
pm. Some people have asked for Benediction,
and what better time to have it than during the holy season of Lent.
YEAR OF THE CHILD
Bishop Latino, along with the Episcopal and Methodist Bishops of
Mississippi, has declared 2007 the “Year of the Child”. We are fortunate to host Sister Donna Gunn,
who has been speaking throughout Mississippi on this topic.
Please join us after mass on Sunday, March 25th in the Family Life Center for
coffee and doughnuts, and to hear Sister Donna as she discusses the greatest concerns for
children in our area.
LENTEN PENANCE SERVICE
Please mark
your calendars dear friends, and plan to join us for our reconciliation/penance/confession
service on Wednesday, March 21st, at 6:00 pm.
I will have several priests available for this very important Lenten service.
LIFE LINE SCREENING
10 MINUTES THAT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! - Do you have high blood
pressure? Are you more than 30 pounds
overweight? Are you male? If yes, you may want to consider being
screened for abdominal aortic aneurysm risk. Life
Line Screening screens the aorta for aneurysms as warning signs are vague and if ruptured,
they are 80-94% fatal. St
Peters Catholic Church is hosting a screening on Thursday,
March 29th. Call 1.800.324.1851
for more information or to pre-register. The
cost of this screening is $129 for all four tests.
GRENADA HOLY WEEK SERVICE
St. Peter Catholic Church will be
responsible for the Holy Week Service at the Presbyterian Church on Monday, April 2nd. We will need someone to make the tuna salad and
cucumber spread for the sandwiches, 2 sheet cakes, and 4 ladies to work from 9:30. If you are able to volunteer for this, please

anyone available to attend and listen to the wonderful speaker at lunch (Father Ruane)!
