all of those who brought non-perishable food items to be shared with the members of our

come to our rectory door quite often and we hope we will always remember the words of our
Lord, “As long as you did it for one of my least, you did it for me”.

BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENTS

for announcements for the bulletin will be on Thursday at

send an email to stpeter@cableone.net
PLEASE NOTE
The scripture readings for the daily
masses are printed on the back of the bulletin. We
encourage you to try as
a family to
read these readings during the week so you will be united with those who attend daily mass
and we
will be
united as a church family.
CRY ROOM
In our churches, the purpose of the
cry room is to help people with little babies, or small children who may be crying, or
need attention. I’m asking, as your
priest and friend, if you have left the crying stage, please leave the room for those with
little children who need it. PS – Even in
new churches, the cry room is being built intentionally small to keep members from
slipping in there. – Fr.Ruane

DAILY MASS
The eucharist is a great source of God’s blessings. I feel that we have some more people who could
avail of
this
blessing from time to time. I encourage all
who are able, to attend daily mass whenever possible.
