PARISH
SACRAMENTS
SACRAMENT OF THE MOST HOLY
EUCHARIST
As a parish, the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass is central to who we are and what we do.
Normal Mass Times are listed on the front of the
bulletin. Please contact the office for special Mass
times during Lent and Holy Days of Obligation. To
receive your First Holy Communion, contact the
Parish Office, 896-9408.
SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION
Essential to the Christian Life, the
Sacrament of Confession is where we come into
contact with Christ who wishes to heal and bless us.
Regular Confession is an integral part of practicing
our Faith and experiencing the peace and joy of a
personal relationship with Jesus. 30 minutes before
every Mass, the Sacrament of Confession is offered.
If you need to receive the Sacrament of Confession
for the first time, contact the Parish Office, 8969408.
SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Through the waters of Baptism, the new
Christian enters the Church and is given Eternal
Life. If you would like to have your infant baptized,
please contact the Parish Office at least 2-4 months
prior to the baby’s due date so that there is enough
time to complete preparation for the Sacrament.
Parents
should
be
registered,
participating members of the Parish Family.
Candidates for Sponsors (Godparents) should be
attending Mass regularly. Both parents and sponsors
will attend a Baptismal Seminar before they receive
the Baptismal Packet which must be received before
an approved date is scheduled.
If you are a parent or an adult seeking the
Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the Parish
Office, 896-9408.
SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE
In the beginning, God created mankind
as one, male and female. Christ elevated this union
to the level of a Sacrament, an image of His own love
for His Bride, The Church. Our Parish Family is
made up of many beautiful marriages who enrich the
Church and the world. Couples discerning the
vocation of Holy Matrimony should contact the
Parish Office to begin the journey of preparing for
their new life together no later than 6-9 months prior
to the desired wedding date.
SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING OF
THE SICK AND FUNERAL/BURIAL
ARRANGEMENTS
The Church and her Sacraments
accompany us at every moment of our life. When
we are very sick or nearing the end of this life, we
receive the healing of Christ through Anointing of
the Sick. Please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408,
to make an appointment.
Also, contact the office before you
contact anyone else in making funeral arrangements.
We will lovingly guide you through that most
difficult time.
NEW PARISHIONERS WELCOME
Please fill out a census card (located near the doors
of the church), call the Parish Office or register

SAINT PETER ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 12, 2014
TODAY:
Bishop’s Services Appeal Commitment Sunday
MEET THE PASTORS OF ST. PETER PARISH
As we continue to celebrate our 140 years of
Catholic Faith and Service in Carencro, we also celebrate the
priests who served as our pastors. Over the next several
weeks we will highlight each of the priests who provided for
the Spiritual needs of St. Peter Parish.
FR. J. R. SURIRAY
Pastor: 1877 – 1880
no picture available
In 1877, the Reverend J. F. Suriray succeeded Fr
Guillot. Under his leadership a new parish church was built.
His pastorate lasted for only three years and shortly after his
departure in1881, the church was destroyed by fire.
St. Peter Parish was without a pastor until 1883.
FR. MAURIUS WELTE
Pastor: 1883 – 1892
Fr. Maurius Welte was appointed the
third pastor of St. Peter Parish
serving from 1883 to 1892. When he
left, St. Peters was again without a
church building as the church built
by Fr. Welte was destroyed during a
storm.

THANK YOU
Fr. Ledoux wishes to thank everyone for their
concern and prayers for his family upon the
loss of his father, Mr. Joseph Dewey Ledoux, Jr.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.
FATHER LEDOUX’S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR OCTOBER
WORSHIP: Let us implore from Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary (Feast Day October 7th), the grace from God to be consoled and defended
as His Church in her sufferings.
FAITH FORMATION: In this month’s observance to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, The Holy Guardian Angels, Apostles Sts. Simon and
Jude, St. Luke, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Therese’ of Lisieux, and St. Francis of Assisi, may we never forget, as members of the Body of
Christ and heirs to the Kindgom of God, we stand on the shoulders of giants who are praying for us and leading us in our walk with Jesus!
EVANGELIZATION: As we observe “Vocation Awareness Sunday” on October 12th and “World Mission Sunday” on October 19th, let us
pray to be renewed in our Faith in Christ Jesus who has ‘first loved us’ and Who has called us to “follow Me” so that as a parish we may
live every day with zeal as members of His Church.
SOCIAL JUSTICE: For the end of Abortion and all forms of disrespect of life in our nation and world.
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES: May the Holy Spirit guide our Pastor, the Facilities Steering Committee, and our Parish leadership team to
move us forward with a positive, effective and accomplishable vision that addresses our future needs while preserving our past.

“JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU”
JESUS: “At the hour of their death, I
defend as My own glory every soul
that will say this chaplet; or when
others say it for a dying person, the
pardon is the same.
When this
chaplet is said by the bedside of a
dying person, Gods anger is placated,
unfathomable mercy envelops the
soul, and the very depths of My tender mercy are
moved for the sake of the sorrowful Passion of My
Son.” (Diary, 811)
SEMINARIAN DAVID ROZAS TO BE INSTALLED AS ACOLYTE….
The Installation of Acolyte will take place at Notre Dame
Seminary in New Orleans on Sunday, October 12th.
So what is an acolyte?
Per the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), as an
Acolyte, the deacon candidate is instituted to serve at the Altar and to assist
the priest and deacon. In particular, it is his responsibility to prepare the
Altar and the sacred vessels and, if it is necessary, serve as an Extraordinary
Minister and distribute the Holy Eucharist. Now most parishes aren’t
“staffed” with an instituted Acolyte, so lay ministers have been deputed to
serve at the Altar.
David, along with his classmates have petitioned for and will
received the Ministry of Acolyte. It is one of five formal, liturgical steps
toward Holy Priesthood Ordination. One year ago David received the
Ministry of Lector. He will be received as a formal Candidate for Holy Orders
during the Rite of Candidacy in the Sumer of 2015. God and bishop-willing,
David will take part in the Rite of Ordination for Transitional Diaconate come
May 2016 and Priesthood Ordination in June of 2017.
Let us pray for David, Mathew Ardoin, Barney Lejeune
and all our seminarians who are in formation for Holy Orders.

OCTOBER – MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY
The month of October is traditionally devoted to the Most Holy Rosary. During the month
of October, before all Masses, we will be praying the Holy Rosary and the Litany of the
Blessed Virgin Mary. All are encouraged to join us in prayer to our Blessed Mother!
“Only by praying together with their children can a father and
mother – Exercising their royal priesthood – penetrate the
innermost depths of their children’s hearts and leave an
impression that the future events in their lives will not be able to
efface.”
~St. John Paul II

the following
Having
the for
fullness
of Life tofavor:
our world when He rose
1]
from the dead, Jesus sent His disciples to share this life with
2]
all of creation. “They went forth and preached everywhere”
(Mk 16:20). The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette
minister to people of every race, language, culture and way
of life – beginning at the La Salette Shrine in France where
our Blessed Mother appeared in 1846. Her final words, “Well,
my children, you will make this known to all my people,” echo
Jesus’ Gospel mandate. It is little wonder that the La Salette
Congregation has always been mission orientated. When
called upon by the Vatican to preach the Gospel in foreign
lands, they eagerly responded. This spirit brought them to
mission in 27 countries, especially among the poor in Angola,
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Haiti, India, Madagascar, Myanmar
and the Philippines. With your cooperation, the Missionaries
of La Salette can continue to provide spiritual and financial
assistance to these mission countries as they bring God’s
reconciling message to the poor.
ST. TERESA OF JESUS
Virgin and Doctor of the Church
Feast Day, October 15th
St. Teresa (1515-1582) was born in Avila and died
in Alba, Spain. When only a child of seven, she
ran away from home in the hope of being martyred
by the Moors; in this way, she said, she could
come to see God. At the age of eighteen she
joined the Carmelite Order and chose Christ as her heavenly
Spouse. With the help of St. John of the Cross she reformed
most of the Carmelite convents and founded new ones. She
reached the highest degree of prayer and through prayer
obtained such knowledge of divine things that in 1970 Pope Paul
VI named her the first woman Doctor of the Church.

“Let nothing disturb you; Let nothing frighten you. All
things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains
all things. Nothing is wanting to him who possesses God.
God alone suffices..”
~St. Teresa of Jesus

CJC SANCTITY SERIES:
Navigating the Spiritual Life by Using the Means to Holiness
A Series of lectures designed to help Catholics grow in their spiritual
lives will be held on select Fridays at Our Lady of Sorrows Retreat
Center, 103 Railroad Avenue, St. Martinville.
Scripture
 Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
(Isaiah 25:9)
 You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
(Psalm 23:5b)
 My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord
with His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians
4:19)
 Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the
feast whomever you find. (Matthew 22:9)
Reflection
 Who is invited to the feast?
 Why will God bring the feast?
 Are you attending the feast?
 Who did you bring to the feast?
This rests in the conviction that the life and ministry of Jesus was
focused on those at the margins of religious and social
institutions to such a degree that He Himself identified with them
unto death and into hell. In this view Christ’s Spirit is to be
discerned in the struggle for liberation among those who have
been cast to the margins of Church and society, making it
possible to embrace marginalized existence itself. (Michael Downey)1

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS AND
STEWARDSHIP! BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT, WE
HAVE A WONDERFUL PLACE OF WORSHIP.
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
There are certain Bible verses Christian stewards have memorized. One
of them is in Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians found in today’s second
reading – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (4:13).
Most people define themselves either by their problems or their
possibilities. Fearful people wake up each morning ensnared by their
problems. Christian stewards wake up reflecting on their possibilities with
confidence and hope. Some stewardship reflection questions for the week:
What challenges do you back away from because you doubt that you are
up to them? What would you attempt tomorrow if you were sure God would
help you?
PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY!
For the week of October 13th – October 19th:
October 13 Rev. Rusty Richard
October 14 Msgr. Robie Robichaux, JCL, VJ
October 15 Rev. Raymond Robitaille
October 16 Rev. William Rogalla
October 17 Msgr. Robert Romero, VE
October 18 Rev. Mario Romero
October 19 Rev. Siprianus Rotok, SVD
Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the world.
Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of
Your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing
to You. In Jesus’’ name we pray. Amen.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

Sunday. This year we are invited to reach out and help build

Church, as well as local churches throughout the Missions, in
the most remote areas across our world. Through the work
of these churches, and their witness to Christ, the poor
receive practical help and experience God’s love and mercy,
His hope and peace. Please keep the Missions in your daily
prayers. Please come prepared next weekend to give
generously in the collection for the Society for the Propagation
of the Faith.
For more information, please visit

ROSARY FOR PEACE
The Rosary for peace for our country and our soldiers
will be prayed every Thursday before 6:30 a.m. Mass.
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in
You will be glad and forever will shout for joy. Protect
these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect
them with the shield of Your strength and keep them
safe from all evil and harm. May the power of Your
love enable them to return home in safety, that with all
who love them, they may ever praise You for Your loving care. We
ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
