Religious Ed – Winter Weather Cancellations
With winter weather upon us, we’d like to invite you to
sign up for text messages or emails regarding any
potential cancellations for Saint Peter’s Religious
Ed. Please use the link below to join the group
(@spreled). https://www.remind.com/join/sprele
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Please read the words of the words of His Beatitude, Fouad
Twal, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.
Any questions, please contact Amy Smedley at
717-951-5434 or [email protected].
Many people throughout history have wished to visit at least
once in their lives the Holy Land, and particularly
Jerusalem. The desire, or yearning for the “Holy Places”
leads today, as it also did in the past, to the beginning of a
journey. Here we find our roots. In Jerusalem, we were all
born. The earthly Jerusalem continues, despite everything,
to be the homeland of the Christians, of those who believe in
the heavenly Jerusalem, and of all men of good will who
desire peace. The Church of Jerusalem has both a local and a
universal dimension. If, on the one hand, it embodies the
Church of the local faithful, the believers of the Holy Land,
with their own personality and their testimony, on the other
hand it also represents the Mother Church of all the believers
around world.
Catholic Faith Bee!
Wednesday, February 11, 6:15 p.m.
Saint Peter Faith Bee – 10 highest
scorers from written exam at Saint
Peter’s School
Thursday, March 26 Diocesan Faith Bee
– winner of Saint Peter Faith Bee – at
the Cardinal Keeler Center (time to be
announced)
Good luck to all contestants!!
This is why I invite you to come on a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, to worship the Holy Places, to deepen your experience
of faith in the land of Jesus, to see for yourselves the reality
in which we Christians today are called to live, to sustain us
with your prayer, to meet the local faithful who live here,
and hope to collaborate together. I’ll be more than happy to
welcome you to the Patriarchate!
Don't miss St. Peter's 9th Annual Mothers’ Retreat
“Mary, Model of Motherhood and Discipleship!"
Join us on Saturday, March 28th for a day of spiritual
growth and fellowship, invite friends and family, all women
are welcome! Your day can begin at 9:00 a.m. with
confession and private prayer in the Historic Church or
choose to come at 10 a.m. to begin with Mass in the
Historic Church. Following Mass will be
education sessions led by Karen Bruskewicz,
lunch, and a group rosary. Education
sessions and lunch will be held in the PC.
There is no cost to attend, but space is
limited, so please contact Theresa at 6530834 or [email protected] for more information or
to register by March 23, 2015.
The Christian minority, despite its slight numbers, has a
significant mission to accomplish. It needs to become a
“bridge” both towards the Islamic world – thanks to the
many Christians of Arab origin – and towards – Judaism
thanks to the small Christian community of Jewish origin
who live and work here. More than ever we are called to
keep together all the “memory stones” and the “living stones
” of the small local Christian community, to raise together
our gaze beyond the empty tomb, which reminds us that the
Lord is alive and present among us.
Recently I was asked to lead a pilgrimage to the Holy Land
with George’s International Tours. As a priest I would love to
bring pilgrims to walk in the footsteps of Jesus…to be in the
places where biblical events took place. What I am unsure of
is whether there would be any interested parishioners who
would like to accompany me. At the moment there are no
finalized plans, but I am looking at the first two weeks of
November, 2015. It would be a 10 day pilgrimage with a cost
of approximately $3600 a person double occupancy. If any of
you are interested, please send me an email or leave a
voicemail at the office. I would be happy to answer any
questions.
