Attention, Parishioners!
Please, attend a 1 hour meeting after the Mass which you
attend on the weekend of June 17-18. The meeting will
be held in the church, as the Blessed Sacrament will be
reposed in the sacristy during the meeting. We will
decide our future for the next 1-2 years. Decisions will
be made after the presentation of specific facts.
Trinity Sunday (June 11)
This is the 1st Sunday after Pentecost. Trinity is a term
used since 200 A.D. to indicate the main doctrine of the
Christian religion. God, who is 1 & unique in his
limitless substance or nature, is 3 really distinct persons –
Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. God the Father is not God the
Son, but generates the Son eternally, as the Son is
eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father
nor the Son, but a distinct person having his divine nature
from the Father & the Son by eternal procession. The 3
divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, & consubstantial
& deserve co-equal glory & adoration.
Ordinary Time The Church continues to celebrate our
Lord's Resurrection – but in its application to our earthly
lives. The time after Jesus' Baptism covers the beginning
of his preaching, his baptism, & his first manifestation.
The time after Pentecost covers Jesus' public ministry of
healing & preaching.
The liturgical color is green which symbolizes hope &
the vitality of a life of faith in Jesus.

Fr. Augusty will be leaving St. Peter's to go back to India
on June 11, 2017. We will be having a reception for him
on June 4th after the 10:30 AM Mass. This reception will
be a way to honor Fr. Augusty for all the good works he
has done for us spiritually. We are saddened that he is
leaving St. Peter's, but our joyful hope is that our Lord
will continue to use and guide him when he returns to his
parish in India. Join us in wishing him well. Please no
gifts, as it would be hard for Fr. to take them with him,
so we will have a basket out in case you wish to leave
him a card.
Letter to the Hebrews
Classes start Wednesday, August 16. Class times: 9 AM

New Covenant over the Old, expresses the pattern for
Christian living, & above all focuses on the priesthood &
sacrifice of Jesus. This is our parish class for the
1st semester of Scripture study. The textbook is: "The
Letter to the Hebrews" by Dr. Scott Hahn & Curtis
Mitch. The publisher is Ignatius Press. The ISBN number is 978-1-58617-468-2. If you would like OLQM to

Pro-Life Men Wanted!!
The tri-county area has been blessed with an amazing
new ministry and a life-saving vehicle--the Life on
Wheels mobile ultrasound unit. This incredible resource
travels between Montgomery, Wetumpka and Prattville
providing free ultrasounds to women considering
abortion. The unit also parks across from the
Montgomery abortion clinic several days a week. Since
the unit went into service in January, lives are saved
every week when abortion-minded women see their baby
for the first time.
There is an urgent need for male drivers right now.
Drivers can sign up for one day a week, one day a month
or on an as-needed basis. This is an excellent way
for men to become actively involved in the pro-life fight!
You won't need a special license--only a little training.
If interested, please contact Ed Gannon (334) 850-3045,
[email protected].
From the moment of our founding in 1882,
charity has been the first principle of the Knights
of Columbus. We are men of faith and men of
action. If you’d like to be a part of an international
organization of more than 1.9 million Catholic men whose
principal work involves helping others in need, we'd like to
meet you and invite you to join us.

Fatima Invocation
This prayer was recommended by the Blessed Virgin to
the children at Fatima (1917), to be recited by the
faithful. It is often said between the decades of the
Rosary & reads: "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save
us from the fires of hell, & bring all souls to heaven,
especially those who most need your mercy."
