. o` e St. 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.

SAINT PETER ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH THIRTIETH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

OCTOBER 27, 2019

HOLY FATHER’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR OCTOBER A Missionary “Spring” in the Church

That the breath of the Holy Spirit engender a new missionary “spring” in the church.

.

FATHER LEDOUX’S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR OCTOBER WORSHIP: We pray for renewed devotion to Our Blessed Mother by all in our Parish and Diocese in this month dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary (Feast Day - October 7th).

FAITH FORMATION: May our young parents find support from each other, and each of us, as they form their conscience in keeping with the truths of Sacred Scripture and Christ’s Church and seek to bear witness to their Catholic Faith in the lives of their children.

EVANGELIZATION: As we observe “World Mission Sunday” on October 20th, let us pray to be renewed in our Faith in Christ Jesus who has ‘first loved us’ and Who has called us to “follow Me” so that as a parish we may live every day with love and zeal as members of His Church.

SOCIAL JUSTICE: October is dedicated as “Respect for Life Month” (Respect for Life Sunday is October 6th). Pray for an end to Abortion,

Euthanasia, Capital Punishment, Artificial Birth Control, In vitro Fertilization and all forms of disrespect of life, including the neglect

of the poor, in our nation and world. BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES: Let us pray in thanksgiving to God for our beautiful facilities, generous benefactors and for continued hearts of generosity in prayer and treasure that we may complete our Capital Campaign Goal of 2.5 Million dollars.

HOW TO GAIN PLENARY INDULGENCES FOR THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY!

This is a most important work. In a certain sense, perhaps the most important work, save for praying for our own salvation and that of all we know. The Holy Souls in Purgatory are suffering. They have all the torments of hell; save for the great knowledge that they know they are saved. We must help them! And if we help them, they will help us!

Here is how you can earn plenary indulgences for the Holy Souls: (Taken from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter)

Indulgences for the Poor Souls I On All Souls' Day (Nov. 2) a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, is granted to those who visit any parish church or public oratory and there recite one Our Father and one Credo. II On all the days from November I though November 8 inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray even if only mentally for the departed.

Conditions for both indulgences: 1. Only one plenary indulgence can be granted per day. 2. It is necessary to be in the state of grace, at least by completion of the work. 3. Freedom from attachment to sin, even venial sin, is necessary; otherwise the indulgence is only partial. (By this is meant attachment to a particular sin, not sin in general.) 4. Holy Communion must be received each time the indulgence is sought. [This is one a lot of people forget. You have to go to Holy Communion to obtain the indulgence for each day.] 5. Prayers must he recited for the intentions of the Holy Father on each day the indulgence is sought. (No particular prayers are prescribed. One Our Father and one Hail Mary suffice, or other suitable prayers. 6. A sacramental confession must he made within a week of completion of the prescribed work. (One confession made during the week, made with the intention of gaining all the indulgences, suffices.)

Additional Prayers and Acts for the Holy Souls † Eucharistic Adoration for a half hour † Pray the Rosary † Pray the Stations of the Cross † Fast and abstain from meat on All Souls Day, November 2nd † Fast and abstain from meat on all Friday’s during November

SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS Holy Day of Obligation FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST

The Solemnity of All Saints schedule of Masses:

+ Friday, November 1st 6:30am, 12:05noon & 6:00pm

END OF YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW The Parish Finance Committee will be giving an end of the year financial review at all Masses next weekend.

OCTOBER – RESECT LIFE MONTH

SIGN UP TO SPIRITUALLY ADOPT A BABY TODAY! Adoption Cards Available at the Doors of the Church

Pick up an adoption card at the doors of the church and begin praying daily to save the life of an unborn baby. Your prayers CAN make a difference between whether a baby will be born...or aborted. Our prayers can also be a form of spiritual support for both of the parents.

To help save the life of an unborn baby, it is recommended an individual say the following daily prayer for a period of nine months.

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of [baby’s name] the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”

~ Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Your Spiritually Adopted Baby’s Development The baby weighs about 1/8 of an ounce — just bigger than a penny. The tadpole-like tail is almost gone, and in its place are two little legs. Baby's head is still huge compared to the body, but it will get more proportional in the weeks to come. Inside, the reproductive organs are forming — although it's still too early to tell on an ultrasound whether the baby is a boy or girl. If you look closely, though, you might see the baby move!

September 25th – November 3rd The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility in your community.

~40daysforlife.com

Please make time to visit an abortion clinic to pray to end abortion. Go to www.prolifelouisiana.org (Louisiana Right to Life website) and click on 40 Days for Life. You can then click on New Orleans or Baton Rouge clinic to schedule your visit. For help scheduling your visit, call Margaret Vidrine, St. Peter Pro-Life Coordinator, at 896-4637.

OCTOBER – MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY

The month of October is traditionally devoted to the Most Holy Rosary. During the month of October, before all Masses, we will be praying the Rosary and Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary. All are encouraged to join us in prayer to our Blessed Mother!

PRAY THE ROSARY FOR THE PRIESTS IN YOUR LIFE

O Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us and send us many and holy priests.

When praying the rosary offer the first decade for the priest who baptized you, the second for the priest who gave you first Communion, the third for the bishop who confirmed you, the fourth for the priest who witnessed your marriage or the bishop who ordained you (or will do so in the future), and the fifth decade for the priest who will anoint you at your death.

PATRIOTIC ROSARY EVERY MONDAY AT 5:30PM

You are invited to join with fellow parishioners in praying the Patriotic Rosary for peace and the conversion of our country. This beautiful rosary, which dedicates each Hail Mary to a specific state in the union, is prayed every Monday evening at 5:30pm in the church. For more info. call Ronald Fontenot at 277-8251.

AT NINE WEEKS

BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND The St. Peter Baby Bottle Pro-life Fundraising Campaign continues this weekend. The campaign is to benefit The Desormeaux Foundation’s three entities. The Foundation’s local pregnancy resource center and their St. Marguerite d’Youville maternity home provide pregnancy testing, counseling, ultrasound imaging, STD (sexually transmitted disease) and abstinence education, shelter, food, and other services to pregnant women in need. Their “Baby & Me Boutique” is a resale store offering free diapers and necessary baby items to their residents and clients. The boutique is also open to the public for retail sales at greatly reduced prices. Baby bottles filled with your donation may be returned at all Masses this weekend. Please be generous to this worthwhile cause.

LOUISIANA LIFE CHAIN Life Chains are held each year in communities throughout Louisiana as pro-lifers stand (or sit) along roadways in prayerful protest against abortion.

WHAT: LOUISIANA LIFE CHAIN – LAFAYETTE, LA

WHEN: Sunday, October 27, 2019

TIME: 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.

WHERE: Corner of Simcoe Street and Evangeline Thruway

(In front of St. Genevieve Catholic Church, Lafayette)

PRO-LIFE REFLECTIONS

Let us never grow weary in doing what is right. ~Gal 6:9

REFLECTION: Sometimes the moral obligation to vote is stronger than at other times. This is

especially true when pro-life people can elect, in a close race, someone who will protect the unborn and remove from office someone who won’t. Among candidates who have a strong enough base to win, we have a moral obligation to vote in such a way that will do the most to advance the culture of life.

PRAYER: Lord, let me not miss the opportunity to advance what is good and right.

DIVINE MERCY MESSAGE

“JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU” St. Faustina: “O merciful God, You do not despise us, but lavish Your graces on us continuously. You make us fit to enter Your kingdom, and in Your goodness You grant that human beings may fill the places vacated by

the ungrateful angels. O God of great mercy, who turned Your sacred gaze away from the rebellious angels and turned it upon contrite man, praise and glory be to Your unfathomable mercy, O God who do not despise the lowly heart.” (Diary 1339)

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.

PARISH FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP

In gratitude for our many gifts from God, parishioners and visitors made a joyful offertory to the Lord.

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT THIRTIETH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

There is an interesting twist we find in today’s gospel when we hear Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector praying in the temple. The Pharisee is “praying to himself.” It doesn’t mean he was praying silently. It seems to mean something a lot more troubling, that he is praying to himself; that God is not his prayer’s intended audience. The words of the Pharisee are very much centered on himself: he makes claims about his character. He highlights his own admirable activities. Good stewards of their prayer lives know that a prayer of praise and thanksgiving should focus on the goodness of God. Do your prayers of thanksgiving always stay focused on God’s unfathomable, immeasurable goodness and generosity?

ROSARY FOR PEACE - A Rosary for peace for our country & our soldiers will be prayed every Thursday before 6:30am Mass.
