LECTORS
Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas week, and that
you and your families are looking forward to a great New
Year.
I want to thank you for the past year. For the first time in
several years, we went over goal in the Catholic Ministries
Appeal Campaign. Next year’s goal is the same as last
year’s, $105,800. Both the parish and the diocese benefit
from your generosity.
The old convent, now know as the IHM Spirituality Center
is full of activity. It is good that this beautiful facility is
kept in use.
We look forward to the coming year and I am sure that with
the prayers and sacrifices of so many it will be another great
year.
Thanks,
Fr. Pat

New Year, New Heart
Tuesday, January 21st
January 28th
7:30 pm
7:30 - 9:00 p.m.
The Martha & Mary Room
The IHM Spirituality Center
We gather in the freshness of a New
Year not to make resolutions but to
open our hearts to the graces that God
longs to give us. Our reflection this
evening will center on ways that we
are called to grow in relationship with
our God, and with ourselves. This
invitation is in response to our God
who asks, “I am doing a brand new
thing; do you not see it?”
Sr. Pat Duffy, OP, gifted preacher and
presenter, will be leading our gathering.
What would cause an eighteen-year-old
senior class president and homecoming queen
from Nashville, Tennessee, to disappoint her
parents by forgoing college, break her little
brother’s heart, lose all but a handful of her
friends (because the rest of them think she
has gone off the deep end), and break up with
the love of her life, all so she could move to
Uganda, where she knew only one person but
didn’t know any of the language? A passion
to make a difference.
Google Books
This book was mentioned
by Deacon Joseph Bianco
in one of his homilies,
and then referred by a
parishioner. Deacon Joe
will join us.
A free will offering will be accepted.
The Port Washington
Library has copies.
Please RSVP to Sr. Peggy, 883-2782.
All are welcome!

St. Peter of Alcantara
More News from Guatemala…
While in Guatemala we had the opportunity to visit all of our projects and more. I would like to share with
you our visit to our second project, the Hope Chicken Incubation Plant. Our van road over uneven roadway, which
led to dirt roads with huge pot-holes, which led to us parking the van and walking on a dirt pathway. As we got to
the top of the hill, I saw these large gates, which I had never seen before. They opened before us, and there stood
our women friends we had met last year. Leticia and Consuelo are the two women who head the incubation plant.
They hugged us and cried in joy to see us again. I inquired about the wall and they proudly told us they had taken
an interest free loan from a Christian woman to ensure their safety (apparently some people had tried to break into
the plant to steal the chickens last year). They were so proud of their accomplishment of securing this loan by
themselves. Here is why: three years ago these women were scavenging the garbage dumps for plastic bottles to
sell and for food to feed their families. They have never been to any formal schools and they were discouraged and
hopeless. Today, they run their own business; they’ve been well trained in managing the incubators and other
equipment necessary; they keep their own financial books; they manage the 20 families involved; they send their
children to school; and they secure their own financing when they need to. This is miraculous and it truly displays
the truth that, “All things are possible with God” (Matthew 19:26).
Yes, we at St. Peter’s have provided the financing for this incubation plant, but God provided the way!
Every time I go to Guatemala and travel by plane and then by van and arrive 12-15 hours later, I am in awe of how
we ever found our way to these people. I know how; it was all part of God’s plan and He has used each one of us
for His glory. We have allowed Him to work through us by saying “YES!” Just like Mary said yes and Moses said
yes and Abraham said yes, so we too said “Yes Lord we want to do your will!”
So, during this Christmas Season, as we enjoy our friends and family, remember to once again step aside
and say, “Yes Lord I want to do your will!” You won’t be sorry; there is no place better to be!
A Blessed Christmas and a Joy-filled New Year to all!

Catholic Schools Week will begin with an opening liturgy on Sunday, January 26th at noon in the School Church.
This year’s theme is “The Value of Learning. The Learning of Values”. The week is filled with many activities
from open houses, to crazy hat day, to the ever popular student/faculty netball game, and introducing a new student
talent show. Please be sure to keep your eye out for flyers and updates on the website for further information.
Oliver Will Take Center Stage in April
Our drama club production for this year is Oliver. On April 4th, 5th, and 6th 2014, under the leadership of
Donna Serpico, our St. Peter’s thespians will take to the stage to tell the story of this endearing orphan.
The children have already been busy practicing their lines, warming up their vocal chords, and
choreographing some new moves. This year’s production is sure to stand out as one of the best ever.
Save the Date for the School Celebration
Our annual Timothy C. Kelly School Celebration dinner will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2014. This year
we are honoring 5 faculty members who have diligently served St. Peter’s for at least 15 years. They are Kathleen
Cotilletta, Sandra Sperazza, Barbara Mucciolo, Merilee Lehmuller, andEleanor Cosentino. Please join
St. Peter’s School in showing our appreciation for these wonderful teachers. More information is available by
contacting Barbara Bergin at bbergin@stpeterspw.org.
