Easter Greetings!
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/april-16th-2023/
Here are the highlights:

We will have a youth Mass which will take place on April 30th, which will be our kick-off project. We will meet from 2 – 4pm spanning several Saturdays (4/15, and 4/29). If your children are in this age group, please plan on bringing them to these sessions. Thank you.

- International Night Dinner and Parish Bonfire is right around the corner on Saturday, April 29th at 6pm, right after Saturday Mass. Be thinking about what international dish you’d like to share or just make a donation at the door. A sign up sheet is available on the kitchen door in the Commons (to let us know what dish you are bringing) or use the QR code here. There will be a Silent Auction and various raffles, along with music and a children’s dessert contest. Don’t miss what is sure to be a fun evening.
