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.

Rectory at 662-226-2490 or let Karla know. RCIA is basically a detailed course of
instruction on the Catholic Faith, composed of three parts; 1st Period:
A time of questions and answers from the people interested. 2nd
Period: The teaching and explanation of the main doctrine of the Church Faith. 3rd
Period: Spiritual growth normally taking place during the Holy Season of Lent.
Inspirational Quotes: 1. Swallowing angry words before you
say them is better than having to eat them afterwards.

2. Happiness
is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
(Ralph Waldo
Emerson)
Choose Life… “It wasn’t many years ago
that almost everyone accepted that infanticide is intrinsically and inherently wrong.
Clearly this is no longer true… With the growth of personhood theory that denies the
intrinsic value of human life, and with the discriminatory ‘quality of life’
ethic permeating the highest levels of medical and bioethical thinking, we are moving
toward a medical system in which babies are put down like dogs and killing is redefined as
a caring act.” (Wesley
J. Smith, J.DNRL News, March, 2008)
Needs
For The Altar... Some of the ladies at St. Peter would
like to start dressing up the Altar (new Altar cloths) and church (flowers etc) and are
asking your help in collecting clean aluminum cans to be used for funds. If
you wish to help with this project or wish to donate please call Karla Houston at 417-2333
or Irene Stark at 417-0968.
