Our youth weather it out!

Our most recent epic snowstorm (pictures below) was not enough to deter a group of youth from gathering for our first youth night of the year.  

At their request, future youth nights will be held twice a month instead of once a month. 

The next gathering will take place this Sunday, March 11, from 7 to 9 p.m.  Youths grade 8 and up are welcome! 

Pilgrimage Update

Here are the latest details for this Saturday's Memory Lodge/St. Benedict's Pilgrimage:

• A bus has been booked.  As of today (Tuesday), almost all the seats have been spoken for, but there are still a couple left for those wishing to take the bus.  Call the parish office ASAP if you haven't reserved a seat and wish to.  The bus will leave St. Peter's at 10 a.m.  Pilgrims, please arrive early to board by then.  For others wishing to drive out in their own vehicle, directions can be made available before departure.
• Our first stop will be the shrine on Memory Road.  If it's a rainy day, you may wish to bring an umbrella along!  After visiting the shrine we will take a lunch break at a host home on Memory Road.  Please bring your own lunch.
• After lunch, we make our way to St. Benedict's to celebrate Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. 
• The journey home begins after Mass.

Holy Smoke! A Parish BBQ!

Our annual parish picnic/BBQ is this Sunday (July 10)  following the 10 a.m. Mass, which (weather permitting) will be held outdoors.  Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided.  Contributions of salads or baking are welcome.  Hope to see you there!
