“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 yourself known to us and to
register with the parish. Parish registration forms are available in the vestibule, or
call the Parish Office at 662-226-2490.
Choose Life… Allowing the use of public funds for
embryonic stem-cell research is “without ethical or scientific justification,”
stated the president of the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life. President
Obama’s executive order (3/9/09) to allow this funding is based on “utilitarian
logic” that fails to take into account the fact that embryos are human beings.
“It is about the destruction of human beings in order to turn them into material for
experimentation.” (Southern Cross, March, 2009)
