5th Sunday of Easter

Dear Parishioners,

Since the beginning of Christianity, we have been told that it is not enough to simply fulfill the law. In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a new commandment. He says, “I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.” It is not a suggestion that we love—but a commandment of the Lord. Can we be recognized by our love? Do we show the love we have for one another in what we say and do? Do we love one another as much as Jesus loves us? May the God of Love, bless us in the challenge to love each other as Jesus loves us.

The Msgr. Eyraud Knights of Columbus Council 2436 is having their monthly dinner today at the K.C. home.

Congratulations to Mrs. Loyce Ann Vicknair. She will receive the St. Louis Medallion this afternoon from Archbishop Aymond. Loyce Ann has been in the choir for many years and has been the choir director for over twenty years. Thank you, Loyce Ann for your dedication and commitment to St. Peter Church Parish and for your love of music.

Have a Blessed Week!
