A Special
Breakfast…We
would like to show our love and appreciation for our young people who have just received the Sacrament of Confirmation
by having a breakfast after the 9:00am Mass, June the 21st. It would also be an
opportunity to show our love and respect for our many wonderful fathers who often get lost
in the shuffle. We wound like to make this a happy occasion and we are hoping as many of
our church family as possible will participate in this happy event.
“Moving
In And Out”…Summer time is often a time of
transition for families. We want to say farewell to any people who may be leaving and
thank you for your participation in our parish. We also wish to welcome any new
individuals or families at St. Peter and we invite you to make yourselves known to us and
to register with our parish. Parish registration forms are available in the vestibule, or
call the Rectory
at

Choose Life… “For many years I have been an
outspoken advocate for the unborn child, because in a culture of abortion, the child is
like a slave. The new civil rights movement of our time is the pro-life movement.” Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin
Luther King (Priests for Life Newsletter, July-August, 2006)
