Greetings!
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/may-28th-2023/
Here are the highlights:
- With great sadness I announce the passing of Ted Starowicz earlier this week. His funeral Mass is on Thursday, June 1st at 11:00am. (Note: there will still be a 9:00am Mass.) Please pray for the repose of his soul and keep the family in your prayers as they navigate this difficult time.
- We currently have an opening for a custodian. If you have a house keeper or know someone who does, please mention this opening to them and have them contact Karen in the office. See pg. 9 of the bulletin.
- Vacation Bible School for preK4-5th grade will be available this year at Sts. Peter and Paul from June 19th – 22nd from 6-8PM in the hall. Registration begins this weekend. There is also a link on our website to register on-line. There is no cost involved and volunteers are still needed.
- On Sunday, June 11, the Feast of Corpus Christi, Mass will be at 9:00AM at Sts. Peter and Paul and Mass at St. Joseph will be at 11:00AM. Why, you ask? St. Joseph is celebrating their 140 years and the procession for Corpus Christi will take place there this year. All children who received 1st Communion this May are invited to attend Mass at St. Joseph’s and be part of the procession.
- Senior Health Coffee Social on May 31st after the 9am Mass. Blood pressure checks will be available and we’ll talk about the “Fourth Quarter” of life. Bring a friend.

- The next World Youth Day fundraiser is a carwash on Saturday, June 3rd, from 9:00am – noon. Thank you for all of your support for this group of fine young adults.
- The parish Yard Sale begins with set-up starting on Sunday, June 4th, and continuing through the week. If you have items to contribute to the sale, please drop them off starting on Monday, June 5th. The event takes place on Friday and Saturday, June 9th and 10th from 8 – 2:30p. Please contact Cynthia Aycock if you are able to help.
- Parish Mission: May 25 – 27, 2023! Carrie McKeown, founder of Wings to Fly, is our guest speaker on the topic of the Eucharist and Family. She will talk about God’s Covenantal Love, Do We Really Believe? and God is Building Up an Army over the 3-day period. Opportunity for confession, Mass and adoration are also planned. The talk tonight starts at 7:00pm, followed by adoration and opportunity for confession. Saturday will start with Mass at 10am, followed by brunch, then our final talk.
- Parish Day and Picnic is coming on June 25th after the 11:00am Mass. Mark your calendars and keep your eyes open for more details to come. This will be a celebration of our patron saints, Peter and Paul.
- Mass this Sunday will be a bilingual Mass.
- Thursday Mass at St. Joseph is suspended for now.
- Mass on Sunday, June 11, will be at 11:00am (not 9:00am) here at St. Joseph’s as we continue to celebrate 140 years and follow in procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi.
“Open our minds and hearts, Lord God, to embrace our unity, to listen with compassion to the pain, sorrow, and suffering of others, and to build a community inspired by your Spirit.” Amen.
