CONFIRMATION…We ask God to bless our confirmandi, their sponsors and their families, as they will be blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation this Sunday afternoon, June the 7th 2009.    

 

A SPECIAL       We would like to show our love and appreciation for our young people who have just BREAKFAST    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 662-226-2490.
