FROM OUR PAROCHIAL VICAR

Our First St. Peter’s Men’s Group BBQ & A

The Bible speaks about Jesus’ brothers, but did Mary have other children other than Jesus? We pray to God, but can we also pray to Mary? Jesus is the Son of God and Mary is His Mother, but can we call Mary the Mother of God?

Join us for our first St. Peter’s Men’s Group BBQ & A this

Tuesday, September 24 th! You’ll have a great opportunity

to get to know other guys, eat good food, and get

answers to these questions and have a chance to ask

others you have.

Men, 21+. Need not be Catholic or a parishioner to

attend.

Join us for our first St. Peter’s Men’s Group BBQ & A. It will be a great way to get to know other guys, eat a good meal, and grow in your Faith.

God bless you,

Fr. Ben
