` eSt. Peter Roman Catholic Church Mission Statement
Our mission is to proclaim the Kingdom of God by living
the Gospel of Jesus Christ through Word, Sacrament, and
Service as taught by the Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter
Parish is a community of dedicated Catholics centered on
the Eucharist, which is the source and the summit of all that
we do and hope to become. Approved August 19, 2014
PARISH SACRAMENTS
SACRAMENT OF THE MOST HOLY EUCHARIST
As a parish, the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass is central to who we are and what we do. Regular Mass Times are listed on the front of the
bulletin. Please contact the office for special Mass
times during Lent and Holy Days of Obligation. To receive formation for First Holy Communion,
contact the Parish Office, 896-9408.
SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION Essential to the Christian Life, the
Sacrament of Confession is where we come into contact with Christ who wishes to heal and bless us.
Regular Confession is an integral part of practicing
our Faith and experiencing the peace and joy of a personal relationship with Jesus. 30 minutes before
every Mass, the Sacrament of Confession is offered.
If you need to receive the Sacrament of Confession for the first time, contact the Parish Office, 896-
9408.
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Through the waters of Baptism, the new
Christian enters the Church and is given Eternal Life. To have your infant baptized, please contact
the Parish Office at least 2-4 months prior to the
baby’s due date so that there is enough time to complete preparation for the Sacrament.
Parents should be registered,
participating members of the Parish Family. Proposed Sponsors (Godparents) should be
attending Mass regularly. Both parents and sponsors
receive a Baptismal Packet which must be
completed and received before attendance at a
Baptismal instruction class is scheduled. A
Baptismal date is determined after all Church requirements are satisfied.
If you are a parent or an adult seeking the
Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408.
SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE In the beginning, God created mankind
as one, male and female. Christ elevated this union
to the level of a Sacrament, an image of His own love for His Bride, The Church. Our Parish Family is
made up of many beautiful marriages who enrich the
Church and the world. Couples discerning the vocation of Holy Matrimony should contact the
Parish Office to begin the journey of preparing for
their new life together no later than 6-9 months prior
to the desired wedding date.
SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING OF THE SICK AND FUNERAL/BURIAL
ARRANGEMENTS The Church and her Sacraments accompany us at every moment of our life. When
we are very sick or nearing the end of this life, we
receive the healing of Christ through Anointing of the Sick. Please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408,
to make an appointment.
Also, contact the church office before you contact anyone else in making funeral
arrangements. We are here to guide you through that
most difficult time.

to know how to lead their child in the active practice of the Faith amidst the challenges of the world. EVANGELIZATION: That the celebration of our Nation's independence this month serve as a reminder of the Founding Fathers of our
Nation's intent that God NOT be absent from our lives in the public square. SOCIAL JUSTICE: That Marriage, as an institution of Almighty God between one man and one woman, may be defended and promoted
within the life of the Parish Family and our civil community. BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES: In thanksgiving for the beautiful repairs to our Parish Hall, where we are gathering for Holy Mass, the

O Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep Thy servants within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may harm them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, purpled with Thy Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of Thy glorious Priesthood.

O Lord Jesus Christ, great High Priest, I pray that You call many worthy souls to Your holy priesthood. Enlighten the Bishop and Vocation Director in the choice of candidates, the Spiritual Directors in molding them, and the professors in instructing them. Lead the seminarians daily in Your unerring footsteps, so that they may become priests who are models of purity, possessors of wisdom, and heroes of sacrifice. May they be steeped in humility and aflame with love for God and man, apostles of Your glory, and sanctifiers of souls.
Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us. Amen.
PRO-LIFE REFLECTIONS
If anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. ~1 Jn 2:1
REFLECTION: Often, we tend to think that God is advocating against those who have committed sins against human life and dignity.
Scripture tells us, however, that if we sin, He advocates for us – not, of course, to justify the sin but to justify us, to bring us reconciliation, healing, and salvation. This is true precisely because of the dignity of the human person.
PRAYER: Lord, as we steadfastly oppose sins against human life and dignity, may we steadfastly proclaim Your mercy and healing.
FREEDOM FOR MISSION - June 21st to July 4th
The Fortnight for Freedom is held each year from June 21st (the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More)
to July 4th, Independence Day.
Almighty God, Father of all nations, for freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1). We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good. Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties; By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land. We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness, and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

NOVENA IN HONOR OF ST. BENEDICT July 3rd -11th
Feast of St. Benedict – July 11th
Our Holy Father, blessed by God both in grace and in name, yielded his angelic spirit into the hands of his Creator, while standing in prayer with his hands raised to heaven.
You have crowned him, O Lord, with glory and honor.
You have placed him over the works of your hands.
Enliven in Your Church, O Lord, the spirit which animated our Holy Father, the Abbot St. Benedict, so that, filled with the same spirit, we may learn to love what he loved and to practice what he taught.
Grant us perseverance in Your holy service, O Lord, so that the people serving You in our days may increase both in merit and in number. May all the monks in the ranks of the saints join their intercessions to ours so that You, Almighty Father, may hear us through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

BUILDING OUR FUTURE TOGETHER
“It is impossible in human terms to exaggerate the importance of being in adoration before the Eucharist as often and for as long as our duties and state of life allow.” ~Fr. John Hardon
COME LET US ADORE HIM! “FETE-DIEU DU TECHE”, a Eucharistic Boat Procession down Bayou Teche, will take place on the FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 15. All are invited to a Mass in French at 8:00am at St. Leo
the Great in Leonville to begin the day. Bishop Douglas Deshotel will preside and give the homily. At the end of Mass, there will be a procession from Church with the Blessed Sacrament to the boat landing. At 9:30am 50 boats will disembark in procession and make their way down Bayou Teche, retracing part of the actual journey of our Acadian ancestors, toward St. Martinville. The boat procession will stop at each Church along the way for recitation of the rosary and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament (10:20am in Arnaudville; 11:45am in Cecilia; 1:35pm in Breaux Bridge; 3:15pm in Parks). The procession will arrive in St. Martinville at about 4:45pm and disembark behind Notre Dame de Perpetuel Secours and enter the Church for Benediction. The procession will continue on foot to St. Martin de Tours for 5:15pm Benediction and then down main street to Mater Dolorosa Chapel for Solemn Vespers and Final Benediction at 6:00pm. Confessions will be heard at each of the stops along the way. For more information about the day or to register a boat visit our website at www.fetedieuduteche.org, send us an email at [email protected], or call (337) 394-6550.

2017 MAN-TO-MAN CATHOLIC MEN’S CONFERENCE
Saturday, August 19th; 8:00am – 2:00pm Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church
2319 Johnston Street, Lafayette
WHAT IS MAN-TO-MAN?
As men of God, we are invited to a living, loving relationship with Him. Our world today is a challenging one, and one that often distracts us from what’s most important.
The Man-to-Man Catholic Men's Conference began in 2006 when a handful of local men realized that there was a need for a one-day, high-impact gathering centered on the faith. That initial conference in April, 2007 has grown into an every-other-year event directed at the hearts and souls of the thousands of men who have attended.
The Man-to-Man Conference is a time for spiritual growth and renewal.
Since the first conference in 2007, huge numbers of men from all walks of life have been drawn to the conference's solid spiritual teaching and inspiration.
Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church will once again be the conference site. We will welcome national and regional speakers who will teach the Catholic faith and preach inspirational messages of hope.
Confession will be available during the entire conference.
Holy Mass will be celebrated in the morning.
Morning coffee and donuts and a jambalaya lunch are included in your registration.
This event will encourage you, inspire you, and empower you to become the best version of the man God has intended you to be. It’s a day filled with hope. Join your brothers in Christ.
The Man-to-Man Conference is open to all men ages 18 and over. We hope to see you there.
What a difference a day makes!
BE COURAGEOUS, BE CATHOLIC “We need to be courageous if we are to be
faithful to the Gospel.” ~Pope Francis

OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
Feast Day, July 16th
The sisters of the MONASTERY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GRACE in Lafayette invite us to pray with them the annual Mt. Carmel Novena in preparation for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16th.
“Mary’s purpose is . . . to call the world back to simplicity, to the essentials: conversion, prayer and the sacraments.”
~Pope Benedict XIV
NOVENA PRAYER Hail, Mother of the Lord. You are blessed among women and the honor of our people. You came to Fatima to call humanity back to God and to obtain peace for the world. Your Immaculate Heart is the sign and promise of that triumph. Turn your eyes of mercy toward us as we call upon you in prayer. You are the Image of the Church clothed with the Sun. Enlighten Pope Francis, our bishops and priests with the light of the Holy Spirit. You are the Messenger of God’s mercy to the world. Strengthen all His children to live according to His law and to avoid all that displeases Him. You are the Queen of Peace. Inspire world leaders to work for peace by overcoming the wars, hatred, violence and terrorism that oppress the nations. You are the Lady of the Rosary of Fatima. In this valley of tears show the sick, the suffering and troubled, parents and children, how to turn to you in prayer and find strength by meditating on your example in times of joy or sorrow, abundance or need. You are the Mother of Mount Carmel. Help all who are consecrated to you through the Scapular to wear it not only as a sign of dedication to you but of a life lived with, in and through you. You are our Way to God. With total confidence we commend our needs and sorrows, our hopes and interests (mention your intentions) to your maternal care, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian disciple who recognizes and receives God's gifts and shares
these gifts in love of God and neighbor.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS AND STEWARDSHIP! BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT,
WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PLACE OF WORSHIP.
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
In today’s Gospel, Jesus minces no words: “whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.” Few of us will be called to die the way Jesus did. But to be His disciples means having the willingness to lay down our lives with Him and for Him. Exercising good stewardship of the Gospel requires taking up one’s cross daily and following Jesus. There will be dying to do on our way to the Father. It could be unfair treatment, health problems, fatigue, frustration at work, failed relationships, loneliness or sadness. If we, like Jesus, encounter and accept suffering, we will bring the hope of the cross to others. There is no cross the Lord’s love cannot transcend. In your reflections this week, consider how your cross, no matter how heavy, might become an instrument of hope and
Christ’s love.
ROSARY FOR PEACE The Rosary for peace for our country and our soldiers will be prayed every Thursday before 6:30am Mass.

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in You will be glad and forever will shout for joy. Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of Your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of Your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever praise You for Your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
