A Virtual Gathering on Saturday, November 13,2021 10 am to 12:30 pm
Would you like to make a difference in the life of a sick child by being part of a 5 hour commitment in helping families of a very illl child who may not survive another year? We are speaking of Camp-Nan-Ke-Rafe located on 31 acres at Nickerson State Park in Brewster.
You can perform a service of mercy for sick and dying children, and their families, who deserve to seek a small amount refuge from round-the clock care, and daily hospital and physician visits, by connecting with other children and their families who understand what they're going through. Camp-Na-Ke-Rafe (www.dreamdayoncapecod.org) is just the place where this can happen.
St. Peter's is looking for volunteers to help prepare the camp for winter on Saturday, October 16th from 10AM to 3PM. The camp desperately needs our help. All ages are welcome and Family Volunteering is also welcomed. A picnic lunch will be provided.
Please email Greg Krantz at gpkrantz@gmail.com or Dave Brown at 1943davidbrown@gmail.com. to sign-up or ask questions.
For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one.

Today, Allen tells an ordinary story of extraordinary love—one that will show you the mystery, depth and true essence of marriage.

On October 2nd we celebrate the Memorial of The Holy Guardian Angels. Many of us learned about guardian angels as a child. We learned the prayer and spoke to them often. As an adult, are you still connected to your guardian angel? In this article, we are reminded of the importance of staying connected to our Guardian Angels

Spotlight on Afghan Refugees
Help Is Needed!
Communities in Southeastern, MA are coming together to help resettle some of our Afghan brothers and sisters recently evacuated by US forces. A team of volunteers called the Southeast Massachusetts People Open to Welcoming Immigrants and Refugees (POWIR) Team has committed to receiving two families, one to settle in the Upper Cape area to include Hyannis, and the other in Plymouth. They have asked us to join them as they pull together everything needed to welcome and support these two families. This is a monumental task, but, with the support of God’s faithful, a joyful one.
Calling all singers to this beautiful ministry of song!
