Heavenly Father,

On this Memorial Day, we pray for those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the example of their sacrifice inspire

in us the selfless love of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their lives with your strength and peace.

In union with people of goodwill of every nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace

and justice, and thus, seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe.

We pray through Christ our Lord.

Amen

Education Fund

Scholarship Program

St. Peter’s Youth Ministry will once again be heading to Orlando for the Steubenville Youth Conference July 27-29th. This conference is open

to all teens entering High School in the fall of 2018.

What is a Steubenville Youth Conference you ask? Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio seeks to

provide an opportunity for teens to come to know the saving love of Christ by providing a powerful

experience of the Catholic Church and its sacramental life. This conference is specialized to address the

resources and needs of today’s Catholic youth, organized on a national and a regional level. With an exciting

lineup of speakers, musicians and presenters, the High School Youth Conference will challenge Catholic

Youth to stand firm in their faith, rely on the awesome power of Jesus Christ who is their guide, friend and

Savior, and show that faith to the world.

The Sacraments are the highlight of the conference. Teens will join in a dynamic Eucharistic Liturgy during

the weekend and will be given the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There is

also a powerful time of Eucharistic Exposition and Adoration. Many teens encounter the Holy Spirit for the

first time. This leads to a tremendous conversion for many young people. The theme for this years

conference is: “In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that

we might have life through Him.” (1John 4:9).

Anyone interested please contact Barbara Jackowski at 305-304-8191.

Fr. Jets congratulates Austin Threlkeld who recently received his Eagle Scout Rank, the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouts. Only 4% of Boy Scouts are granted this rank after a lengthy review. Austin earned 31 merit badges in total (21 required for Eagle, and 10

extra--earning him a Bronze and Gold palm).
