EASTER GREETINGS…I take this opportunity to wish all of
our people a happy and Christ filled Easter, and Easter season. May the risen Christ give us the joy and peace
that we can receive only through Him. Let us
continue to remember those less well off than we are, the sick, the hurting, and the
suffering. God’s blessing to all! –
MR.
A HAPPY FOR THE CHILDREN… We have planned an extra Happy for our children.
We began this last year and it seemed
to be tremendously popular. In place of an Easter Egg Hunt
we will be inviting all of our
children and their parents to gather in front of the Church on Easter
morning after Mass. Among our
surprises will be a show of love for our children and their Bible School Teachers.
WELCOME &
It is with great joy we welcome, Linda
Gravlee, Jennifer Liberto, Desiree Cook, CONGRATULATIONS
Valerie Holmes, and Roseann Flem who will be
entering and reentering our St. Peter Catholic Church
Family on Holy Saturday night through The Sacrament of Initiation, Baptism, Communion, and
Eucharist.
PRIESTS
RETREAT… Father Ruane will be participating in the annual diocesan clergy
retreat with Bishop Latino and a majority of the other priests from our diocese. The retreat will be at St. Mary of the Pines in
Chattewa, MS beginning on Monday and ending mid-morning on Friday. If you should need
Father Ruane while he is on retreat just call the rectory and Karla will get in touch with
him.
DAILY MASS…
Because of the fact that I will be on retreat I will not be having daily mass this week at
St. Peter’s. I will be having Mass at the Monastery in Chattewa. I do encourage
everyone to participate in the communion services that will be taking place at the
scheduled daily mass times.
SINCERE
GRATITUDE …To all who helped make our Holy Week services meaningful and
sacred as Lectors, Eucharist ministers, Mass Servers and those who helped decorate and fix
up our Church for the sacred ceremony of Holy Week.
FOOD ITEMS…Some of our “Why Catholic?”
groups have talked to Fr. Ruane about non-perishable food items which will help the needy
of our community. A large box for this purpose will be in the room directly behind the
Rectory. [Old AA Room] Please place your non-perishable items in this box and they in
return will be given to the Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.
CHOOSE LIFE… “Nobody is a nobody; nobody is
unwanted. All are wanted by God, and therefore to be respected, protected and cherished by
us,” wrote Father Richard John Neuhaus. Is this not the message of Christ’s
dying and rising,--not just for certain people but for all?
