ST. PETER PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
We, the believers of St. Peter Parish, having our
beginnings as the earliest Catholic Church of the
Archdiocese of New Orleans on the Northshore, in
response to God's call, come together:




to love God and one another
to worship as a faith community
to be God's hands, heart and mind and
to provide for our community's spiritual and
physical needs
In doing this, we glorify God and help realize His reign
on earth. While rejoicing in the experience of our
pilgrimage, we must ever keep in mind our ultimate
destination through our faithful stewardship of time,
talent and treasure. Called to be a prayerful and
hospitable Catholic family of living faith, we welcome
and invite all people to share in our unique gifts of the
Holy Spirit.

THE BLESSING OF A CHILD IN THE WOMB
9:30 AM Mass † Sunday, July 26, 2015
Reserved seating for expectant families, front right of Church
Expectant families awaiting the birth of their child are invited to receive a special “Blessing of a Child in the Womb” during the celebration of the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, July 26, 2015. The introduction to this Rite observes that the blessing
of an unborn child “sustains the parents by imparting grace and comfort in time of concern and need, unites the parish in
prayer for the unborn child, and fosters respect for human life within society.”
To help us to provide adequate reserved seating for your family, please email or call and leave a message at the St. Peter Office of Marriage and Family Life with the number of reserved seats needed: mfl@stpeterparish.com /985.892.9353.
The text of the Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb has been approved by the Vatican and by the USCCB. Timothy
Cardinal Dolan, USCCB President, authorized its use in the liturgy as of March 26, 2012, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of
the Lord.

Parents of high school students, do you suffer from a case of…
Let’s see if we can clear that up for you!
1.
Teenagers in the Archdiocese of New Orleans (this includes us on the Northshore) who have been baptized and received
the Sacrament of Holy Communion are confirmed in their junior year of high school. In St. Peter Parish, Confirmation
takes place in the fall of the junior year, usually in September.
2. If your teenager has not been baptized and/or not received first Holy Communion, please contact Ruth Prats in the office of
RCIC to discuss how they may receive these vital Sacraments of Initiation. Her number is 985.898.0346.
3. If your teenager has been baptized and received first Holy Communion, they must complete 2 years of preparation classes
before they may be confirmed. How and where those classes take place depends on where your child goes to school.
If your child attends a Catholic high school or Catholic home school, they must register for what we call PREP
III in January of their SOPHOMORE YEAR of high school. Until then, preparation classes are done in the
school setting;
If your child attends a non-Catholic private high school, a non-Catholic home school (no religion classes are
being taught), or a public high school, they must register for what we call PREP I (9th grade PSR) in August
of their FRESHMAN YEAR of high school, PREP II (10th grade PSR) in August of their SOPHOMORE
YEAR of high school, and PREP III in January of their SOPHOMORE YEAR of high school.
4. PREP I is a full school year, meeting from September until May. PREP II classes are from September until December, and
PREP III meets from January to May. All classes meet on Sunday evenings from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. PREP I and II meet in the
Ministry Center. PREP III meets in St. Mary’s Hall.
5. Registration for this year’s PREP I and PREP II classes will be held on Sunday, August 9th from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the
Ministry Center. Please bring a COPY of your child’s BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE and the $40 fee. Registration for PREP
III will be held in January on a date TBA from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in St. Mary’s Hall. There is also a parents’ meeting
held that evening.
6. If your child has missed registration for one of those classes and is now in a grade higher than usual for either PREP I, PREP
II, or PREP III, please do not let that stop you from registering them this year. Contact the Office of Confirmation at
985.893.2047 or confirmation@stpeterparish.com, and we will be happy to direct you as to in which class your child should
be registered.
Hope this clears up some of that Confirmation Confusion. If not, please contact Kim Wright, Confirmation Coordinator at
985.893.2047 or confirmation@stpeterparish.com.
Year for Consecrated Life
November 29, 2014–
February 2, 2016
All of us without exception,
both individually and in
society, have a life-long
obligation to strive after
heavenly values. . . . The
traditional as well as the
contemporary Christian
approach to life is to strive
with all zeal for evangelical
perfection, and at the same
time to contribute toward the
material good of humanity.
—Pope John XXIII at the opening of the Second Vatican
Council on Oct. 11, 1962

“This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13: 35
July 5: Fourteenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time:
In today’s Gospel, the people ask: “How
is it such miraculous deeds are accomplished by his hands?” Because of your
gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul many
“miraculous deeds” are accomplished for the poor.
This week put a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul poor
box, knowing that through your kindness someone
who is suffering will be touched by God in a
miraculous way.
Poor Box Envelopes
can be found in a holder on the wall in back of church.
Please place donations in the collection basket or drop
off at the rectory. Thank you.
