VACATION TIMEFather 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

 

WELCOMEWe 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.   

 

COMMUNION SERVICE While Father Ruane is on vacation we will not have daily Mass, because no priest is available. We will have a daily communion service the same time as our daily Masses. They are made up of daily scripture prayers and the privilege to receive Holy Communion.

 

IN EMERGENCIESIf you should need a priest in an emergency while I am away, call:

Father Messina @ 662-563-2273 or Father Camp @ 601-856-5556.

 

REMINDERReminder to all CCD teachers to please return their CCD workbooks from last year’s classes to: Donna Mumme

 

LITURGICAL MINISTERSDuring 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 LIFEWhy is abortion a bone in the throat of contemporary culture? Because we all know intuitively that it violates the rules that make a loving, civilized culture possible. We also know that far from being a ‘victimless’ crime, abortion kills an innocent passenger and maims the unknowing driver.”

 (David Andrusko, NRL News, 3/07)

HOSPITAL VISITATIONPlease call us at the rectory if you or a member of your family is in the hospital in Grenada or elsewhere.

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.
