Opportunity to bid open for a Contractor,
Mason and Painter at St. Peter
The Maintenance and Beautification Committee of St.
Peter has been working on plans for the enhancement of
the church sanctuary. A new, larger corpus has
arrived. This was gifted by a former parishioner. Plans
are to have someone help to build the cross, to hold this
on our sanctuary wall. Additionally, the wall will be
covered in a dry, stacked stone and framed on its sides
with a cherry wood to match the altar and blend with the
other stone work (the baptismal font) in the church.
Committee members have begun requesting bids on this
project, however would like to offer this opportunity to all
parishioners, in case there is someone out there that
would LIKE TO help with this project and/or donate some
of their time. We are also looking for bids to paint the
church proper and fellowship hall. Anyone interested in
helping in any way, may contact the church office.
OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES GO TO:
The family of Julia Snively, whose Funeral Mass
was Friday, January 16. Please remember Julia
and her family in your prayers. Eternal rest grant
unto her O, Lord. May she rest in peace.

The Catholic Schools Week Collection
The theme this year is “Catholic Schools: Communities of
Faith, Knowledge and Service.” This theme encompasses
several concepts at the heart of a Catholic education.
First, schools are communities — small families in their own
right, but also members of the larger community of home,
church, city and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are
three measures by which any Catholic school can and
should be judged. In the Diocese of Superior, Catholic
Schools Week is an opportunity to focus our shared efforts
on helping to ensure the vitality of our 15 Catholic
elementary schools. Our Catholic schools are an important
part of the mission of the Catholic Church. Please use the
envelope in your packet in the regular collection next
weekend. Thank you for your generosity!

January 22nd ~ Day of Prayer for the Legal
Protection of Unborn Children
“Even the weakest and most vulnerable,
the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor,
are masterpieces of God’s creation,
made in His own image, destined to live forever,
and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.” Pope Francis’ Day for Life Greeting
Dear God,
we see life cheapened every day
through abortion and other forms of abuse,
through terrorism, and other acts of violence,
and through neglect of children, the poor,
and the elderly.
In a world of plenty, we can forget
that there is nothing more precious than human life.
Give us the grace to see how we can make a
difference, and encourage change in our culture.
When we are discouraged,
remind us of the Catholic monk Telemachus
who stopped the gladiator games with an
act of charity.
Inspire us with the stories of Mary
and other mothers of unexpected pregnancies,
who knew that every child is a gift of God's grace
and is wanted by you in this world.
Encourage conviction in the hearts of those
who do not yet know or understand
that a desire for choice is no reason to end any life
and that you desire that all life
come only to a natural end in you.
Amen.
Please pray for the health of:
All of our cluster parishioners in hospitals, at home
and in the nursing homes & our prayers are extended
to those serving our country in the Armed Forces.
Especially for: Will Simon, Joan Tabernacki, Kevin
