10th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Moved by the Holy Spirit, we gather today as a family—a parish family as well as children of God—to celebrate the Eucharist. It is appropriate to think of our family of faith, for in today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus tell the crowds that whoever does the will of God is part of His family. It has been a privilege for me to be a part of the St. Peter Parish Family, especially for the past eleven and a half years to serve as pastor. On July 1st St. Peter Parish Family will once again be shepherded by a native son—Fr. Ray Hymel. I truly see the hand of God as well as the guidance of Msgr. Eyraud in the appointments of two native sons to return home and serve our parish family of St. Peter as pastor.

There will be a special collection this weekend, June 8th -9 th, for a new air conditioner. The outside unit near the cry room was replaced a few years ago. Now, it’s time to replace the inside unit. The cost is approximately $30,000. Once we have reached $15,000, we will order the unit. I ask for your support with purchasing this new unit. The summer months are getting hotter, and we need all a/c’s to be in tip-top shape to cool off the church.

The youth of the parish will have its annual Father’s Day Bake Sale next weekend June 15th and 16th. Treat Day to some delicious homemade baked goodies.

Have a Blessed Week!
