ST. PETER FUEL RAFFLE

The St. Peter Parish Council will be holding a raffle to supplement the St. Peter Fuel Collection. This year we expect fuel to be twice as expensive as last year. The Fuel Collection does not raise enough to pay for fuel to heat the church. The Fuel Collection needs another source of funding. Raffle tickets are $20.00 each. The first drawing will be November 30 after the 11:00 AM Mass. We will be drawing: one $100.00 prize, two $50.00 prizes and one $25.00 prize. The next drawing will be the weekend of December 20-21. Winners need not be present. For tickets or information contact Sue Ahearn at 775-7398, Angie LaVictoire at 775-1256 or Joe Eno at 773-3111 (day) or 773-3665 evenings. Tickets will be sold at the back of the church after Mass throughout the month of November.

 

CAPUCHIN FRANCISCAN VOCATION

There will be a discernment weekend offered for those men 18 to 40 who may feel a call to follow the Lord as a Capuchin Franciscan priest or brother on December 5, 6 & 7 in Good Shepherd Friary, New York City, with presentations encompassing the theme, “Francis, Crib and Conversion”. If anyone is interested please contact Brother Tim Jones, O.F.M. @1-212-567-1300 or brotimjones@yahoo.com.

PROCTOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – It is kindergarten round-up time and we are looking for all potential children for the 2009-2010 school year. Children need to be 5 by September 1^st. Please call the office with student and parent information at 459-2225.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT MSJ:  We would like to extend an open invitation to any volunteer who would be willing to help with various tasks in our very busy Development Office. If you have some basic office and/or computer skills, or would like to help with such events as our annual Dance/Auction in January or our Restaurant Night in March, we would be most grateful for any and all help. Come and help with a very important mission – keeping an MSJ education affordable. Please call MSJ at 775-0151. We’ll keep you busy!

TREE OF REMEMBRANCE – Tree Lighting Ceremony and Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 at the Franklin Conference Center, Rutland at 6:00 PM. The Tree of Remembrance is a time for community members to gather to remember and honor someone who has died. The service includes reflections by caregivers and clergy, music by local musicians, and a tree lighting ceremony (as names are read of this year’s Hospice patients and other community members as requested).

 

SAINT MICHAEL’S COLLEGE

On behalf of Saint Michael’s College, I am pleased to announce the continuation of our Parish Scholarship Program for students entering college in the fall of 2009. As you know, the Parish Scholarship is just one way we strive to embody the mission of Saint Michael’s as a Catholic institution founded by the Society of Saint Edmund over 100 years ago and that we recognize Vermont’s most promising Catholic students. Each parish in the Catholic Diocese of Burlington may select one of its parishioners to receive a tuition scholarship of up to $11,000 over four years (up to $2,750 per year) at Saint Michael’s College. The nominee must be a first-year applicant for admission to Saint Michael’s College. The amount of the scholarship will be determined by financial need with no recipient receiving less than $1,500 per year. The scholarship may only be applied to tuition at Saint Michael’s College and one-half of the scholarship will be credited at the beginning of each semester. Please contact Fr. Ted at 775-1994.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AT MSJ will be held each Friday from Noon to 2:45 PM at the Immaculate Conception Chapel at MSJ, 127 Convent Ave., Rutland. All are welcome. Come spend 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. Come pray, sit, reflect and listen to Our Lord. You will not be sorry! If you have any questions, please call 775-0151. Please use the main entrance to the Academy. Exposition will be available on those Fridays when school is in session. The dates for December are: December 5, 12 & 19.

 

MEMORIAL FLOWERS FOR CHRISTMAS

FOR ST. PETER – Envelopes are available at all the church entrances. For those not acquainted with the practice, an offering is made for the decoration of the church at Christmas in these envelopes and the names of those to be remembered (which you print clearly on the envelopes) are remembered in a special bulletin. Please drop your envelope in the offertory basket, mail it or drop it off at the Rectory Office before December 15. If you are a “shut in” and are unable to pick up an envelope, please call the Rectory during the week, and we will mail you one. Thank you.

 

FOR ST. DOMINIC – Your envelope packets contain a Christmas flower envelope in them. Please write clearly the names of those who are to be remembered so we do not make a mistake in the spelling of the names and drop your envelope in the offertory basket, mail it or drop it off at St. Peter Rectory before December 15.

 

 

 

 

Again this year, St. Peter Church will be having a “Giving Tree”. In the spirit of Christmas, those who wish may select a gift card from the baskets at the entrances of the Church. The cards have been made to reflect the specific needs of those families that we will be helping at Christmas. Here’s how it works:

1. Take a gift card from the basket.
2. Purchase the gift.
3. Wrap the gift, put the gift card on it and bring it to Church.**

**If gift purchasing and wrapping are a problem, we will shop for the gifts and wrap them for you. If you would like us to do this, please take a gift card and then put your donation for that gift in an envelope, with the gift card and put it in the offertory basket. It is very important that the gift card be attached to the gift or the donation so that we know which family it goes to. Please try to bring the gift to Church as soon as possible. Deadline for the gifts to be here is December 15.
