Greetings:
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/august-25th-2024/
Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:
- With a heavy heart, I announce the passing of Cosmo DiFazio, Sr. this week. His funeral Mass is on Thursday, September 5th at 10am, with committal at our cemetery afterwards. Please pray for the repose of his soul and keep his family in your prayers during this difficult time.
- Thank you for the amazing response to the water damage appeal. In just one week, more than $5,000 has come in to help with these repairs. These donations are not subject to the Cathedraticum, that’s good news. Thank you for what you can do.
- CCD registration continues through the month of August. Please remember that a copy of your child(ren)’s baptismal certificate and payment is needed at the time of registration. Classes begin on Sunday, September 8th at 9:30am. This first class is for the whole family.
- The Bake Sale returns September 7th & 8th. We are looking for bakers and parishioners to help with sales on the first full weekend of every month. Please contact Sue Scott (434.591.1205) if you are able to help. Remember, the funds go to provide assistance in the community.
- First Youth Group gathering of the new year is on Friday, September 13th at St. Joseph’s from 6:30 – 8:00pm. Gear up for Karaoke!
