The parish will celebrate a Mass with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the sick on Sunday, September 29, at 1:30 PM. The Sacrament of the sick can be celebrated for any person who is ill and in danger of death or elderly. The sacrament is intended to bring physical and spiritual healing to those who are seriously ill. It also asks God for the grace to accept the suffering that comes with serious illness or diminished health due to age. If this applies to you or anyone you know, please consider attending or telling others about this celebration.
This past July, the parish auditorium and kitchen were severely flooded. There are still extensive repairs required in the kitchen. Although the contractors have said that the repairs will be done soon, we cannot move forward with the Fall Fair given the uncertainty of the timeline. With much of the space in the basement requiring work, we are also unable to accept any donations at this time. The fair will not be rescheduled for this year and will hopefully return for 2025.
The mission statement of the parish’s Social Justice Committee states: “The Social Justice Committee of St. Peter’s Parish seeks to create a window that provides opportunities for formation, greater Parish engagement and collaboration on social justice issues and activities.” If you are interested in joining this effort, please attend our next meeting on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 7:00 pm in the Parish Hall.
For the last few years, Ricardo Pinos has served on weekends as the parish sacristan. He is the young man you have encountered at the doors of the church and who assists with opening and closing the church each weekend. This will be his last weekend, as he is beginning his university studies. Thank you to Ricardo for his generous and faithful service. Please pray that he has an enjoyable and successful university career.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RICARDO!
