. o` e St. Peter Roman Catholic Church Mission Statement

Our mission is to proclaim the Kingdom of God by living the Gospel

of Jesus Christ through Word, Sacrament, and Service as taught by

the Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter Parish is a community of

dedicated Catholics centered on the Eucharist, which is the source

and the summit of all that we do and hope to become. Approved August 19, 2014

PARISH SACRAMENTS

SACRAMENT OF THE MOST HOLY EUCHARIST

As a parish, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is central to who we are and what we do.

Regular Mass Times are listed on the front of the

bulletin. Please contact the office for special Mass times during Lent and Holy Days of Obligation. To

receive formation for First Holy Communion,

contact the Parish Office, 896-9408.

SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION Essential to the Christian Life, the Sacrament of Confession is where we come into

contact with Christ who wishes to heal and bless us.

Regular Confession is an integral part of practicing

our Faith and experiencing the peace and joy of a

personal relationship with Jesus. 30 minutes before

every Mass, the Sacrament of Confession is offered. If you need to receive the Sacrament of Confession

for the first time, contact the Parish Office, 896-

9408.

SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Through the waters of Baptism, the new Christian enters the Church and is given Eternal

Life. To have your infant baptized, please contact

the Parish Office at least 2-4 months prior to the baby’s due date so that there is enough time to

complete preparation for the Sacrament.

Parents should be registered, participating members of the Parish Family.

Proposed Sponsors (Godparents) should be

attending Mass regularly. Both parents and sponsors receive a Baptismal Packet which must be

completed and received before attendance at a

Baptismal instruction class is scheduled. A Baptismal date is determined after all Church

requirements are satisfied.

If you are a parent or an adult seeking the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the Parish

Office, 896-9408.

SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE In the beginning, God created mankind

as one, male and female. Christ elevated this union to the level of a Sacrament, an image of His own love

for His Bride, The Church. Our Parish Family is

made up of many beautiful marriages who enrich the Church and the world. Couples discerning the

vocation of Holy Matrimony should contact the

Parish Office to begin the journey of preparing for their new life together no later than 6-9 months prior

to the desired wedding date.

SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING OF THE SICK AND FUNERAL/BURIAL

ARRANGEMENTS The Church and her Sacraments

accompany us at every moment of our life. When

we are very sick or nearing the end of this life, we receive the healing of Christ through Anointing of

the Sick. Please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408,

to make an appointment. Also, contact the church office before

you contact anyone else in making funeral

arrangements. We are here to guide you through that most difficult time.

HOLY FATHER’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR JULY

The Integrity of Justice

That priests, those who administer justice may

work with integrity, and that the injustice which

prevails in the world may not have the last word.

FATHER LEDOUX’S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR JULY

WORSHIP: Through our parish novena to St. Anne this month: may she, who formed the Blessed Virgin Mary by witness and faithfulness to God’s will, intercede for us as a parish community to remain always trusting and faithful to the Will of God in our lives.

FAITH FORMATION: As the first and primary teachers of the Faith to their children, may our parents be aided by our prayer for them and our personal witness to an active practice of our Catholic Faith.

EVANGELIZATION: May the celebration of our Nation's independence this month serve as a reminder of the Founding Fathers of our Nation's intent that God NOT be absent from our lives in the public square.

SOCIAL JUSTICE: That Sacramental Marriage, as an institution of Almighty God between one man and one woman, may be defended and promoted within the life of the Parish Family and our civil community.

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES: As each of us prays about our own personal commitment to our Combined Capital Campaign for St. Peter and the Diocese, we ask direction of the Holy Spirit so that in all we do it may Glorify God and lift up one another.

KOBONAL HOUSING – Special Thank You! YOU BUILT HOPE!

In the Central Plateau of Haiti, in the village of Kobonal, having access to safe shelter is a privilege few can afford. Born into a poverty that has plagued their families for generations, many of the country’s poorest people live in makeshift structures made of wood scraps, sticks, and sheets of plastic and tin. These living conditions are inhumane - and a health risk, especially for the children. Still, this life of poverty goes on because these families see no other option. They have lost any hope they might someday enjoy a safe, sturdy home. Then, you intervened! You came into this desperate situation and brought joy to the poor by offering hope and new beginnings! Your gift to Cross Catholic Outreach helped build homes for needy and deserving families in and around the Kobonal Haiti Mission under the leadership of Father Glenn Meaux, and he poor’s lives have been forever changed. Fr. Meaux’s staff completed 80 cement-block homes for he 2018 calendar year, and 80 more are scheduled for the 2019 calendar year. Each new completed home stands as a testimony to the power of compassionate people like you! Psalm 127:1 tells us, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” When you allowed God to move through you, our Lord’s compassion was revealed in a powerful and tangible way. Something profound was accomplished. And these families were given more than just a home – they felt the mercy and love of God himself!

HOPE REBORN! We can’t thank you enough for your generosity in helping provide homes for needy families in Kobonal! oy and hope were reborn there. The love of Christ was proclaimed. And all of this was possible because you were obedient to God’s call to care for the poor. Because of your kindness, impoverished families now have solid houses and firm foundations upon which to rebuild their lives. Because of your faithfulness, the poorest of the poor are becoming self-sufficient and strengthened in the knowledge of God’s love. Your gift didn’t just help Cross build homes here in Kobonal – it helped build up the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Thank you for spreading hope!

BEFORE AFTER

THANK YOU! Fr. Ledoux wishes to thank everyone for their prayers for his good health. He is grateful to report that all test results were favorable.

Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein that you are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power. O show me herein that you are my Mother. Our Lady, queen and beauty of Carmel, pray for me and obtain my requests.

POST ABORTION HEALING:

RACHEL’S VINEYARD RETREAT A Rachel's Vineyard weekend retreat is an opportunity for any man, woman, couple, grandparent, sibling, or anyone who struggles with the emotional or spiritual pain of abortion. This weekend retreat provides participants the opportunity and space to enter the grieving process, identify effects the abortion has had and release deep feelings of anger, shame, and guilt that frequently accompany an abortion experience. This unique retreat process is designed specifically to help retreatants experience the gentleness, mercy and compassion of Jesus as they walk the journey from pain to forgiveness. Participants re-connect on a spiritual level with the children who have been aborted and give them honor and dignity through many special exercises as well as in a memorial service. Those who journey through their grief allow God to transform their experience into one that brings hope, liberation and peace.

When: October 4-6, 2019 (Respect Life Weekend)

Time: Friday, 6:00 p.m. - Sunday, 3:00 p.m.

For more information about the retreat weekend and/or to register contact: Trista @ 337.261.5598. Pre-registration required. All inquiries are confidential.

PRO-LIFE REFLECTIONS

After sending them all outside, He… entered the room where the child was… and said to her… “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” ~ Mk 5:40-41

REFLECTION: When a fire is reported, the firemen do not sit around the fire house and have a prayer service. They go to where the fire is. When a priest gets a sick call, he goes to the bedside of the sick person. The same is true with abortion. We are called to show up at the places where the killing occurs. This expresses solidarity with them in their hour of greatest need.

PRAYER: Enable Your people, O Lord, to give each other the gift of presence.

ATTENTION: Current 1st, 8th & 10th grade Catholic school students

Check with your church parish to register for First Communion (2nd graders), 9th grade Faith Formation and 11th grade Confirmation classes. Registration usually occurs during the summer through July.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT FIFTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

Today’s Gospel turns our attention to one of Jesus’ most familiar stories, the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It is about living how God intended us to live: to acknowledge God’s divine love and compassion lavished upon us, and to extend that love and compassion upon others without reservation. We can find a lot of reasons for not stopping to help someone. We can talk ourselves out of being Good Samaritans. Strangers are not our responsibility, or are they? Good stewards understand that God’s mercy is a gift that must be shared, and that doing the right thing, acting as Jesus would act toward others, is the only course of action for one who lives according to the demands of the Gospel. How might you be a Good Samaritan this week?

ROSARY FOR PEACE - A Rosary for peace for our country & our soldiers will be prayed every Thursday before 6:30am Mass.
