New St. Peter's Pictorial Directory We will be preparing a new pictorial directory for St. Peter's. Sharon Crane and Danny Huntington will be taking the pictures beginning on Sunday, April 28th through the end of May. In your 20 minute session we'll gather the information you want in the directory, choose your photo, and have the photos emailed to you. These photo sessions are free of charge. Sign-up at www.stpeterspoolesville.org and click the Sign Up Genius link, or on a paper sign up sheet in the foyer. Contact Danny at dhuntington@rfem.com or (202) 256-5255, and Sharon at scrane@rfem.com or (202) 256-5954 with any questions or to set up an alternate appointment time. Please sign up as soon as you can. It has been several years since we last prepared a directory, and so we are looking forward to the updated directory. In addition to paper copies, there will be an electronic version that will allow us to keep it updated in real time.
