Father
Martin Ruane, Pastor

VACATION TIME – Father Ruane will be visiting family
and friends in Ireland during the month of August. He asks for remembrance in your prayers
during this time, and promises to remember all our Saint Peter Church Family in his daily
Masses and prayers. Thanks and God Bless
WELCOME – We welcome Father Al Camp who will
take care of these weekends that Father Ruane is on vacation. It is almost impossible to
find a substitute priest because of the scarcity of priest. So we are most thankful Father
Camp is willing to help us out. Please treat him with kindness and hospitality.
..IF.. – If you feel the need to contact
Father Ruane while on vacation by mail or phone please check with Karla at the rectory.
MOST IMPORTANT – Honor peace more than anything else.
But strive first of all to be at peace in yourself. (John of Apamea,
Syriac monk and spiritual writer…)
LITURGICAL MINISTERS – During these holiday month’s
people are frequently out of town on weekends. Please contact somebody to take your place
if you are unable to serve on your weekend.
USHERS AND LECTORS – We thank our parishioners who serve as
faithfully at ushers and lectors at Mass. We are always in need of additional ushers and
lectors and if anyone is interested please call the rectory or let Father Ruane know.
CHOOSE LIFE – Speaking to a Los Angeles rally
protesting the threatened passage of an assisted suicide bill by the California
legislature, Rabbi Louis Feldman asserted that the victims of physician-assisted suicide
will be “the poor and disabled, ill-insured, vulnerable and lonely people. …We
must remember that the road to Auschwitz was paved with euthanasia program. Once you
negate the inviolability of human life, anything is possible.” (The Southern Cross,
4/12/07)
CATHOLIC CHARITIES WORK TRIP - Catholic
Charities Work Trips have been scheduled through August. Trip dates are: 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.
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.
LITURGICAL APPOINTMENTS - Please contact the
church office to participate in the Liturgy.
