25th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Family Day

Dear Parishioners;

            Today is FAMILY DAY!  The theme this year is Joy in the Family.  The purpose of Family Day is to promote and strengthen all families and the parish family.  The Trinity—Father-Son, and Holy Spirit—gives us the strength and graces to know that our family is sacred, especially in the details of our ordinary lives.  We are the Body of Christ, the Family of God,  but it is often difficult to understand the giftedness and importance of family life without guidance in how to experience and grow in the grace and beauty that God makes available in each family.

            I invite all of our St. Peter Parish Families to join me after the 11:00 A.M. Mass today on the grounds of St. Peter Church for Family Day actvities.  Hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, chips will be served.  There will be activities for all.  Their will also be a big screen TV so that you can watch the Saints game. 

            Thank you for your contributions to last week’s collection for the Catholic Communications Campaign.  Your support will help the CCC connect millions of people with Christ and spread the gospel message.

            The Ministers of Hospitality/Greeters will have a workshop on Wednesday, September 26 ^th in church from 6:30 P.M-8:30 P.M.  Mrs. Betty Ann Hickey from the Office of Worship will lead the workshop.  If anyone is interested in becoming a Greeter, I invite you to the meeting. 

            The Blessing of Pets will be on Saturday, October 6 ^th at 11:00 A.M. behind the church near the Veterans’ Flag Pole.

            Mark your calendars for the annual Rosary Procession on Sunday, October 7 ^th following the 8:00 A.M. Mass.

            Have a Blessed Week!
