stop at the Shrine’s gift store to view some of the other displays. If time permits, some of you may want to
view the Laser Show (separate charge of $3.00). We will be back at St. Peter around 8:30 PM.
Cost for the bus and dinner is $30.00. Since we have a limit of 36 reservations, you need to get your
payment (check or cash) to our Treasurer, Charlene Henke, as soon as possible. You can pay her at our
November meeting or mail a check to her (439 N Geyer, 63122.) Reservations will close when we receive 36

promises, but perhaps we can arrange to see some photos
from the Rome pilgrimage.

also in Holy Hours of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

them, but also of making their intercession for us
effective." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 958)

Christmas Adopt-A-Family – We Need You!
It’s time once again for our annual adopt a
family program, sponsored by the St. Peter
Beyond Housing Ministry.
We have accepted a total of twelve area
families this year. All of the families have
children, all are struggling. All are working
towards independence through the services of
Beyond Housing and the support of people like you.
Our goal is provide new clothing items and items from a “wish
list” for each person in every family.
There are many ways you can help:
Adopt an entire family with a group of friends, neighbors or
other members of a parish ministry. Adopt one member of a family. Purchase items all families can use like towels, sheets,
kitchen supplies, etc. Donate gift cards for gasoline or for grocery, discount or
home supply stores.
Contact Julie Bruns at juliebruns@sbcglobal.net or 314-803-7855
for more information.
ATTENTION ST. PETER TEENS: DO YOU NEED SERVICE HOURS?
The St. Peter Beyond Housing Ministry could use 10-12 teen

children in the Beyond Housing program. The event will be
Saturday, December 4 and we would need you from
approximately 8:00AM – 1:00PM at Beyond Housing’s
