ST. PETER YOUTH MINISTRY NEWS! St. Peter Youth Ministry will be beginning a new ministry called Making a Difference (M.A.D.) in September. This ministry will focus on providing high school teens with opportunities once a month to go out and get involved in different service events based on Catholic Social Teaching.

It will run for nine consecutive Thursday evenings from 6-9pm.

Parishioners are asked to take the chalice home and display it in a place of honor, where all throughout the week they can notice it. Parishioners will pray around the chalice every night for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Prayers for vocations will accompany the chalice. You can choose which Mass your family would like to receive the chalice. We have openings for the Traveling Chalice in September and October.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION There seems to be such a lack of peace in our world today...how important it is that we pray!

Prayer is indeed our most powerful weapon against the evils of our time, and the rosary is proven to be among the most powerful of prayers.

PRAYER OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER, 2012 Prayer of Praise My Lord and My God, You are good above all that is good. You alone are most high, most mighty, most sufficient, most complete; You alone are full of sweetness, of comfort, of beauty and love; You alone are exalted and glorious above all things; And in you all good things have their perfect existence, As they always have done and as they always shall. Therefore I am not satisfied by anything You give me that is not Yourself, Nor by any promise or revelation that does not let me see You or receive You fully. My heart cannot really rest or find full satisfaction unless it rests in you. The Imitation of Christ, Book 3, XXI, 124 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. ST.
