Greetings!
Your bulletin: https://saintspeterpaulpalmyra.org/september-4th-2022/
Here are the highlights:
- The OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED on Monday, September 5th in observance of the Labor Day holiday.
Lord on this Labor Day,
we thank You for the blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask Your guidance
for everyone seeking employment,
and we ask that
You be with those whose faces
we might never see
but who work tirelessly each day
for the good of us all.
Amen.– from Our Sunday Visitor
