DAILY MASS

We are constantly hoping that people will avail themselves of the great gift we have in daily Eucharist.  In 20 or 25 minutes, the Lord speaks to us in Holy Scripture and invites us to dine with him as we receive His body and blood at His table.  Please join us at daily mass whenever possible. I encourage parents of school children, when at all possible from time to time, take your children to church faithfully, and occasionally to daily mass.  They need and deserve it.

 

BIBLE SCHOOL – We will have an abbreviated form of Summer Bible School on June 23, we are hoping all our children, up to 6^th grade will participate.  Further detail will be in next week’s bulletin.

 

CATHOLIC CHARITIES WORK TRIP - Catholic Charities Work Trips have been scheduled through August. Trip dates are: June 1-3, June 20-24, July 11-15, July 25-29 and August 9-15. Please visit our website at www.catholiccharitiesjackson.org for further information. Meals and lodging will be provided. Participants are responsible for their own transportation but carpooling can be arranged. All denominations and all skill levels (18 and older) are encouraged to attend. Those with construction and home repair experience are especially needed. Volunteers may attend all or portions of the trip. To sign up, please contact Theresa Prejean at 601.326.3758 or theresa.prejean@catholiccharitiesjackson.org.

 

GOD’S HOUSE KEEPERS - We are in desperate need of people, couples, or otherwise to take a turn at making sure that God’s house is clean neat, tidy, and fitting for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Please sign up on sheet in back of Church.

               

COFFEE AND DONUTS - We are very anxious to have coffee and donuts and  are in need of a family to take a month. This seems to cause confusion because often we have nobody and it is not that difficult an assignment. The donuts are picked up at Shipley’s The normal assignment is to pick up donuts, make coffee, tidy up, turn down thermostat and lock up. Please sign up on sheet in back Church.

 

CHOOSE LIFE - Risk is a part of life, an action we can choose to take.  Those now living and growing in their mother’s womb inhabit a place that has become more dangerous than any battlefield or terrorist target.  Their lives hang in the balance every moment.  They did not choose their risk; someone else chose it for them.  Are we willing to risk defending unborn children? 

 

WORDS OF WISDOM - “ I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle.  I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.”

 

LEGACY - We want to give our children what we didn’t have; but let’s make sure we give them what we did have: our faith.

 

CATHOLIC SERVICE APPEALS – As of 5-25-07 Saint Peter has given and pledged 3,712.00 from 36 families, verse 4,362.00 from 43 families last year.  I join Bishop Latino for thanking you and if you had not the opportunity to give yet there are envelopes in the back of the Church.
