Seminar on End-of-Life Issues
Why is it that we have such a hard time discussing “final” things? In this season of the Resurrection, we know that we have a finite amount of time on this earth and that our ultimate goal is heavenly glory. Addressing our “final” wishes in advance is a great gift that we give to ourselves and our loved ones. Finality shouldn’t be the motivating factor in the decisions that are made – it should be practicality.
On Saturday, May 4, 2024, from 8:30 am to 11:00 am St. Peter Parish will be holding a Legacy Seminar in the parish hall. There will be presentations on end-of-life directives (health care directives and a living will) planning your Catholic funeral; preparing a will. St. Peter Parish is participating in a diocesan pilot program on these issues, and things learned from this presentation will be used to model other such future programs in the Diocese of Lafayette.
Death is going to happen. Having a plan helps your loved ones to deal with their grief as well as to celebrate the life that has passed. Decisions during this time should not be determined by guilt and uncertainty. Honestly, these decisions should be made by you and not your loved ones. All are invited to this very informative morning that will give you the tools to make educated decisions when it comes to these very important issues.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award
Congratulations to two of our parishioners, Donnie and Cassandra Watson, who received the Dr. Martin Luther King award from Bishop Deshotel on January 12, 2024. This award was bestowed upon them for their commitment to working for the poor and needy in the New Iberia community. Congratulations to this wonderful couple!
Prayer Blanket Ministry
Do you know of someone who needs healing or would benefit from prayer? Consider enrolling that person in The St Peter Prayer Blanket Ministry. The recipient will receive a blessed prayer blanket, a healing prayer, enrollment in the Church prayer request book and remembrance of those enrolled in the ministry at the weekend Masses. There is no charge to receive a blanket. In addition to these benefits, a candle can burn in Church for a week for $5.00. If you would like a blanket or would want to volunteer to sew, crochet or knit for this Ministry, please contact Eileen in the Parish Office at 337-359-4848.
