Family Day was a huge success!! I want to thank all who were responsible for organizing the day, especially the Evangelization Committee. It was amazing to see so many people at the Family Day picnic—the young and not so young of our parish family. We came together as one to celebrate our church family. Once again THANK YOU for all that you do for St. Peter Parish.

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.
This weekend, we are taking up the collection for the Catholic Communications Campaign (CCC). Your support helps the CCC connect people to Christ, here and around the world, through the internet, television, radio, and print media. Half of the funds collected will remain in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to support our local efforts in communicating Christ’ message. Br s part of this campaign to spread the gospel message, and support the collection today!
We come together today to worship God, who “makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” The readings we hear today describe the awesome power of God that transforms our lives and the lives of others. As we worship today, we take comfort in the hope we are afforded by the power of God--- a God who can and will make all things well.
