WHY CATHOLIC – Sincere gratitude to our people from St. Peter who attended the Regional workshop on Why Catholic. I believe we had the largest representation there, much more on this program later.

 

MASS SERVERS – We will meet with all our Mass Servers today after Bible School in the Church. This is a very special ministry in our Church Family and I’m asking for the support and corporation of their parents.

THANKS, to David Upchurch and Mike Liberto for working with these children. 

 

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY – If any of our couples have been married for 25, 50, or 60 years, you might want to fill in the registration form (in the back of the Church) and you will be invited to a special anniversary Mass offered by the Bishop.

 

Words Of Wisdom – The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will out last it.

(William James, philosopher)

 

BIBLE SCHOOL – We feel we got off to a very good start these past Sundays, Thanks to Donna Mumme and all of the teachers who made this possible. Thanks to parents and children for your cooperation. Let us work together to continue to improve.  

PLEASE NOTE - That we have a class for 3 and 4 year olds in our Sunday morning Bible School Classes, all our children of that age are strongly encouraged to attend.

 

CHOOSE LIFE – “Sometimes a single issue will be so important that it overrides a whole range of lesser issues…. The taking of the life of an unborn child is such an issue. The arbitrary destruction of such life cannot be justified on the grounds that one should be free to choose to kill.” (Bishop Donald Wuerl, St. Thomas More Society Lecture, May, 2004)

  

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.
