30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

Today is WORLD MISSION SUNDAY. We celebrate this day by remembering our baptismal call—to bring the Gospel to all! Annually, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next to last Sunday in October. As described by Saint Pope John-Paul, II, World Mission Sunday is “an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration for all the missions of the world” (Redemptoris Mission, 81).

The second collection today will be for WORLD MISSION SUNDAY.

Remember today, Sunday, October 24th is ST. PETER SCHOOL FEST. Please come out and “pass yourself a good time” at the school fest. There will be food, music, and other activities, including a Trunk-nTreat. The fest begins at 11:00 A.M. and ends at 9:00 P.M.
