Next weekend, January 9 & 10, Fr. Ray and I will begin a five part series of homilies on the Seven Sacraments of the Church.  Each weekend, from January 9 & 10 to February 6 & 7, we will speak about one or two sacraments to explain the history, meaning, and spirituality of the sacraments.  Hopefully this series will give us a better appreciation of the importance of the sacraments in our lives.

 We would like to thank everyone who helped in decorating St. Peter and St. Dominic Churches for Christmas. Many hands went into this preparation and we are thankful to everyone involved.

  

 

ON THE WEEKEND of January 9 & 10, we will be asking for donations after the Masses for St. Anna’s Orphanage, a home for AIDS babies, in Tanzania, E. Africa.
