` eSt. 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.

Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks.'" (Diary 453)

O Lord Jesus Christ, great High Priest, I pray that You call many worthy souls to Your holy priesthood.

BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
“It is impossible in human terms to exaggerate the importance of being in adoration before the Eucharist as often and for as long as our duties and state of life allow.” ~Fr. John Hardon
PRO-LIFE REFLECTIONS
Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. ~Gen 1:28
REFLECTION: The single largest destroyer of human life in our nation and in the world is not poverty or AIDS; it is not heart disease or cancer; it is not terrorism or war. It is abortion.
Some 50 million children around the world are killed each year by this procedure.
PRAYER: O Lord; enable us to pursue those things that will preserve our species and continue to fulfill Your original command to multiply.

AQUINAS INSTITUTE – FALL 2017 COURSES
ANGELS AND DEMONS - FR. CLINTON SENSAT, STL Description: This course is a rigorous study of Catholic angelology and demonology. Lectures will be based on the source materials of philosophy, the Bible, the Fathers, and the greater Scholastics. The purpose of this course is to grapple with nature and the activity of spiritual beings as far as possible based on the solid information available. A secondary purpose is to clear away the superstitions, silly notions, and dangerous practices that often plague any discussion of angels and demons. Some of the topics discussed will be the constitution of angelic spirits, angelic intellect and will, the angelic hierarchies, angelic and demonic activity, and the fall of the demons. Day and Time: Wednesdays 6:00 - 8:45 PM Location: John Paul the Great Academy, 1522 Carmel Dr., Lafayette Classes start: August 23 Classes end: December 6
SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY - FR. MICHAEL CHAMPAGNE, CJC, STD Description: This course will provide an in-depth introduction to Spiritual Theology, which can also be termed the Theology of the Interior Life or the Theology of Christian Perfection. The nature of Christian holiness will be treated especially as it involves the integral operation of the theological virtues, the moral virtues, and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual Theology by Jordan Aumann, OP, will provide the principal material for the course. Day and Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00 - 8:15 PM Location: John Paul the Great Academy, 1522 Carmel Dr., Lafayette Classes start: Tuesday August 22 Classes end: December 7

Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God's gifts and shares
these gifts in love of God and neighbor.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS AND STEWARDSHIP! BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT,
WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PLACE OF WORSHIP.
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
In today’s reading form the prophet Isaiah, there is a guarantee that the unleashing of God’s Word will bear much fruitfulness in the world. The Word of God will accomplish whatever God sends it forth to do. His Word is given to us as a gift to be nurtured, shared and made to “bear fruit.” The question is whether or not we are exercising good stewardship over God’s Word. Have we been “fruitful” with God’s Word? Have we unleashed God’s Word? Do we
share God’s Word or do we leave that task to others?
ROSARY FOR PEACE The Rosary for peace for our country and our soldiers will be prayed every Thursday before 6:30am Mass.
