HEALING MASSWe are all mindful of the fact that Jesus Christ does much of

the healing when we are sick. For this reason I would like to start a Mass of Healing on

the first Friday of each month at 10:00am. A Mass of Healing is completely different from

the anointing that takes place in the case of serious sickness. I’m hoping that many of our

people will avail of this opportunity and we are hoping to have a little brunch and fellowship afterwards. 

***Healing      Place:  St. Peter Catholic Church

***Mass…       Date:  March 6th 2009

                         Time:  10:00am…followed by scrambled eggs and toast in the Family Life Center. Anybody can avail of this special prayer of asking God, of his protective and healing hand, for our total bodily health.

 

LENTEN FRIDAY   Each Friday during the Holy Season of Lent we will have Mass at 8:00am.

  AT ST. PETER        Stations of the Cross, scripture reading, short meditation followed by

                                        Holy Communion beginning at 6:15pm.

 

PLEASElet us all make a genuine effort to make Lent a special time in Our Church.

  1. Daily Mass when possible.                                      5. Prayer when possible in the home with the family.                               
  2. Participating in “Why Catholic?”                            6. A kinder, gentler people.
  3. Participating in the Mass of Healing.                    7. Less negative gossip.             
  4. A good confession by participating kindness, compassion, and affirmation.

CHOOSE LIFE “One day… Our Nation will… look back on what we have been doing to the innocent human beings within their mothers as a crime no less heinous that what was approved by the Supreme Court in the ‘Dred Scott case’ in the 19th century, and no less heinous than what was perpetrated by Hitler and Stalin in the 20th.”  Cardinal Edward Egan in Catholic New York, October 23, 2008
