Estate Donation: It is with great appreciation and gratitude that
the Estate of Td Carson has sent the final bequest from his Will in
the amount of $48,000.00. St. Peter’s Church is blessed with the
generosity of its members. In the near future consider St. Peter’s
Church as a beneficiary of your Will as she continues to provide
the spiritual and pastoral care of the People of God.
Some people do not believe in God. Why?
Certain people do not believe that God exists. They are called
‘atheists’, that is, ‘without God’. Often they cannot believe in God
because of all the evil in the world, especially because of war.
Sometimes, also, their own lives are so difficult that they cannot
believe in a good God. Some have been let down or disappointed
by believers, churches, and religions. Some have confidence only
in reason or science: they see that is it is impossible to prove the
existence of God ‘scientifically’ and hence do not believe in God.
Others, also, are simply caught up with the apparent consumerism
and materialism of daily life.
How to get more from the Mass.
Pray and sing with enthusiasm. Just imagine if you were to say,
“I love you” to your spouse or your children in a bored voice,
looking as though you were going to a funeral or itching to leave
the room. Who would believe you? (to continue)

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moment, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Gospel Matthew 21:28-32 www.cyberfaith.com
Gospel Reflection
Jesus tells a parable to a group of religious leaders. He wants them
to figure out which one of the sons did his father's will. Was it the
one who said yes but never showed up? Or was it the one who said
no but later repented and carried out the father's wishes. Sometimes
people can deceive us by smooth talk. But God is never deceived.
Like Jesus, our lives can be a "yes" to God the Father in word and
deed.
Discussion Questions for Gospel
Have you ever said, "yes" to someone and then not done what you
agreed to do? Did you ever say "no" to someone who asked you
(like a parent or teacher) but then regretted it and changed your
mind? Jesus is making it clear that sinners who repent are entering
the kingdom before the priests and elders who did not repent and
believe. What do you think of this?
Sports – any slightly used summer sports equipment (basketball,
volleyball, baseball, football, etc.) as well as baseball caps and
jerseys that you want to dispose of can be dropped off in the
Church. They will be sent to the village of Fr. Vic in the
Philippines.
Hygiene Kits – (toothbrush, 20ml toothpaste, face towel, comb,
nail cutter, small bar of soap, shampoo, etc.) Kits are to be sent by
the end of this year to poor elementary school children in the
Philippines. If you are able to donate, kindly bring them to the
Church. Thank you for your generosity! Fr. Vic.
Food Containers – there are several in the Church Basement
kitchen – please take yours home.
