St. Peter Catholic Church

As celebration of the “Year of Prayer,” St. Peter is providing
a Prayer of the Month for our parishioners to detach and
pray together as a family on a daily basis.
PRAYER OF THE MONTH
AUGUST, 2012
The God of All Patience
May the God of all patience and consolation grant to all the
members of our family that they may live in perfect harmony with
one another. With one heart, may we give glory to God our father
and to Jesus Christ our brother. In the unity and love of the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
ST. PETER PRAYS PARISH PRAYER BOOKLET
The Year of Prayer is coming to an end and we would like to
celebrate this by collecting prayers from our parish families. We
will create a St. Peter Parish Prayer Booklet that will be available
to all parishioners at the end of September. We ask you to submit
your family's favorite prayer or a personal family prayer for
consideration.
Please submit your prayer by either sending an email to
info@stpeterkirkwood.org, visiting the website and using the
online form, or filling out the form in the church pews.

ROSARY FOR THE USA
In the May 18th issue of the St. Louis Review, there was an
article about a Catholic from Phoenix, Arizona who was deeply
concerned about the United States. While praying the rosary, he
realized that the 50 Hail Mary prayers could be said for our 50
States. He designated the first three decades as prayers intended
for the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches of our
government. The fourth is dedicated to state and local
government as well as police and firefighters. The fifth decade is
devoted to the U.S. military personnel.
Please join your fellow parishioners every Sunday at 4:45
(except holidays) in front of Mary’s statue to say the Rosary
for our country and our populace. The Gathering Area is
available if the weather is not favorable.
