The Epiphany of the Lord

Greetings:

Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/january-5th-2025/

Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:

  • First Saturday Mass is at 10:00 a.m. on January 4th but there will not be confession beforehand.
  • Our monthly bake sale will occur this weekend. Please drop off your baked goods before either Mass. Your donations are greatly appreciated.
  • CCD resumes on January 5th.
  • Wednesday daily Mass will be at 9:30 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. while Fr. David is away.
  • Youth Group meets next on January 10th from 6:30-8:00p at St. Joseph’s. Come build your favorite scene from the Bible using Legos.
  • A second Bible Study group is starting up in January. The focus will be the Gospel of Luke. There are 2 opportunities to attend: Tuesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 at St. Joseph’s, (beginning Jan. 14) and Wednesday afternoons from 4:00-5:00pm at Sts. Peter and Paul (beginning Jan.15).
  • Our flower guild is now 5 strong but we need to expand to a minimum of 6 members; this allows for members to take time away and no one will have to serve more than once a month. This team will rotate on a weekly basis and concentrate their efforts on arranging flowers each week in the church. The time commitment is about an hour a week for one person, in most cases. Please contact the office at 434.589.5201.
  • What do Good Shepherds, Ushers and the Altar Servers ministries all have in common? They all need help. If you want to learn more and think you can help, please call the office (434.589.5201) for more info.
  • Sts. Peter and Paul Religious Store: The store is open before/after Mass on Saturdays and after Mass on Sundays. You can contact the store via email at [email protected].
  • Chesterton Academy is accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. For registration visit ChestertonSJE.org.
  • If you have misplaced any items in the church, come see Karen in the office; it’s where many lost things go.
  • If you have recently changed your email address or phone number or signed up for Faith Direct and no longer need envelopes, please send a note to the office so we can update the system and make sure you don’t miss out on any information we have to share with you.
