Saint Peter Church

We would like to provide meals for anyone needing some help to get through a difficult time. This may be for a sickness, a death in the family, or caring for a new baby. When a need is identified, an email will be sent out requesting help. You can decide if you are able to provide a meal at that time. We will be using the “Meal Train” computer app that anyone can access online. If are interested in this ministry, please provide your email address to Deb McGinniss at deb.mcginniss5@gmail.com. If you have a need for a meal, you may contact Deb or call the parish office.

Candlemas, February 2, commemorates the ritual purification of Mary, 40 days after the birth of her son Jesus. This day also marks the ritual presentation of the baby Jesus to God in the Temple at Jerusalem. ... The festival is called Candlemas because this was the day that all the Church's candles for the year were blessed. The Faithful should make use of the prayer candles: 1. In times of sickness or plague. 2. When storms are raging, on land or sea. 3. In seasons of drought or excessive rains. 4. Every day, at least for a short period, to ask God’s protection in the home and on members of the family. 5. To prevent discord, hatred and ill-will. 6. In times of doubt, distress and anxiety. 7. When a child is born. 8. When in danger from fire or flood. 9. In times of persecution. 10. Burning constantly at the bedside of the dying. 11. For the relief of the Souls in Purgatory. 12. As a holy reminder of Jesus Christ the Light of the World, a Light no darkness shall overcome. Father will bless candles after 8AM Mass February 2nd. Blessed candles will be available for a small donation after all Masses that weekend.
