Martin Ruane, Pastor

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.
CONGRADULATIONS – We congratulate Nicholas and Martha
Castle Liberto who were married last Saturday here at Saint Peter’s Church. They have
made their home here in Grenada. We welcome them to our church family.
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
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.
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 – California’s stem cell institute
revealed recently that not one embryonic stem cell therapy is expected to be approved for
market within the next 10 years. This is in stark contrast to the arguments made before
California voters approved Proposition 71 that allocated three billion dollars to
embryonic stem cell research. During the campaign for passage, proponents of the measure
clearly implied that miraculous cures were just around the corner. (San Diego

HOSPITAL VISITATION – Please call us at the rectory if you

privacy policy that doesn’t make known the people in the hospital. I would like to

little encouragement.
