November 7-13 is National Vocation Awareness Week. As Catholics we firmly believe that God has a plan for our lives. He calls some to marriage, some to the priesthood, and others to religious life or to live as generous single people. Fully living our own vocations—and teaching young people how to discern God’s call—is a serious duty, but also a joyful one. May each one of us continue to pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Let us pray that someone from our parish of St. Peter will be open to God’s call to priesthood or religious life.
Monday, November 8th, Archbishop Gregory Aymond will be here at St. Peter to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to eleven (11) young men and women of our community. Parishioners are invited and encouraged to attend the celebration of Confirmation which begins at 7:00 P.M.
Thursday, November 11th is Veterans Day, in which we remember all Veterans who served in the U.S. Military. Let us pause and thank God for those men and women who joined the Armed Forces to keep us free.
November 11th is also Msgr. Jean Eyraud’s birthday. May Msgr. Eyraud continue to watch over St. Peter Parish.
Also, on this date this year, will be True Presence Regional Night, a regional gathering of prayer, praise, and Eucharistic Adoration. Archbishop Aymond will be present for this evening. It will be held at St. Joan of Arc Church in LaPlace, beginning at 7:00 P.M.
