St Peter’s Cursillo group will meet right after the 6:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, August 18 with a “potluck” meal in the parish hall. Pete and Bev Darcy from the Southside Ultreya will share their many experiences since attending a Cursillo Weekend. They have been involved with Cursillo for quite some time but still feel that Cursillo continues to enrich their lives. Parishioners interested in knowing more about Cursillo are invited to attend this get together. Come share a meal, find out more about Cursillo, and register for the upcoming weekends. Weekends fill up quickly so sign up soon.

Please join us as we celebrate our Second Annual Blue Mass on Wednesday, August 22 at 6pm, where we want to honor our Public Safety officials and First Responders and thank them for their service. In the United States, the Blue Mass tradition began in 1934, when Father Thomas Dade of the Archdiocese of Baltimore formed the Catholic Police and Fireman’s Society, and celebrated the first Blue Mass for police officers and firemen that year. After the Mass there will be a reception in the Parish Hall. Everyone is invited!
