WELCOME HOME – We wish a warm welcome back to Father Ruane.  We all hope he had a Great time in Ireland visiting family and friends. Welcome Home!

  

DAILY MASS – Since we will now get back to our daily Mass schedule, I am hoping that many more of our people will avail of this Great privilege for spiritual growth and strength.

  

MORE CONVENIENT – Since Monday is Labor Day I though it might be nice to give you a chance to sleep a little later since you won’t be going to work, so I will have Mass at 9:00am instead of 8:00am. Try to join us for Mass and Happy Labor Day to all.     

 

Catholic University Of America – For more than 100 years, The Catholic University of America, founded by the American bishops and chartered by the Vatican, has depended upon the generosity of parishioners throughout the United States to help financially deserving students afford a CUA education. Grounded in the philosophy of Catholic intellectual tradition, students receive an excellent liberal arts education that prepares them to make a difference in today’s world. Please give generously to the annual Diocese Collection for CUA today!   

 

BISHOPS CUPIf any of our golfers would be interested in playing in the Bishops Cup golf tournament on Thursday Sept. 13th at the Colonial Country Club, Jackson MS.  Please check with Father Ruane and he will provide you a registration form.  It might be nice to try to have a team for the first time from Saint Peter’s.

 

BIBLE SCHOOL – It is one of our great, great desire to have every child in our parish, little one’s through the 12th grade in our Parish Religious Education Program. So we will be holding registration this Sunday after the Mass, for convenience, sake outside the Church.   There will be a $10.00 registration fee, if this will be a burden in any way let it not deter you.

 

CHOOSE LIFE – “The arrival of prenatal ultrasound and the sustained educational campaigns of pro-lifers have refocused the public’s attention on the humanity of the unborn child and the brutal facts behind ‘choice.   (Wanda Franz, NRL News June 07)
