23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

The liturgical gathering makes Christ present in numerous ways, such as through the proclamation of the Word of God and in the Eucharist. Perhaps the most overlooked reality of Christ’s presence comes through the physical gathering of God’s people, who are instructed to owe nothing to anyone except love. This love between us makes God’s presence visible on earth. In today’s Gospel, we hear Jesus assure His disciples that “whenever two or three are gathered in His name, He is there with them. Our confidence in His promise assures us that Jesus is here with us now as we celebrate the Eucharist—the Mass.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on Wednesday, September 13th . Adoration begins at 1:00 P.M. and concludes with Benediction at 6:00 P.M.

In every Catholic church parish of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) will be available on Wednesday, September 13th from 5:00 P.M.-6:30 P.M.

The second collection next weekend will be for the Religious Education programs here at St. Peter Parish.

Just a friendly reminder that our St. Peter FAMILY DAY PICNIC will be on Sunday, September 24th, following the 11:00 A.M. Mass. I hope to see you at the picnic.

Have a Blessed Week!
