3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, known as Sunday of the Word of God

Dear Parishioners,

Today, we celebrate Sunday of the Word of God. Several years ago, Pope Francis designated the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time as Word of God Sunday. The annual observance is aimed at helping all of us grow in a deeper appreciation of the Sacred Scriptures. When we gather for Mass, God speaks His word to us through the Sacred Scriptures. Let us pray that our ears may be opened to hearing God’s Word proclaimed in Sacred Scripture.

First Reconciliation will be celebrated on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Please keep those students in your prayers that they may truly experience the healing presence of Jesus in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Next weekend, January 27-28 a second collection will be taken up for Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The funds collected from this collection will support the Champions of Catholic Education tuition assistance fund. This collection is not to be confused with the annual collection that we take up for St. Peter School.

St. Peter School’s annual Alumni and Friends Reunion will take place on Saturday, February 3rd , beginning with the 5:00 P.M. Mass. The Distinguished Graduate Award will be presented at the Mass. Following Mass, a Dinner and Social will take place at St. Peter School. Dinner will be served from 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. Following the Dinner, IMAGE (all Alumni from SPS) will play from 7:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. Stay tuned for more information.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Jesus and the Eucharist Study. Sign-up sheets are available at all the entrances to the church. The sessions begin on Monday, February 19th. You can choose either a morning session or an evening session.

Have a Blessed Week!
