It s important to say thank you on a regular basis. It makes one feel good! Here are a number of thank you messages I don t want to overlook: a. Thank you for your support of the Building Improvement Fund. Our church basement restrooms are finished - with the exception of a few hooks, deodorizers, and signs. If you didn t see them last weekend, stop by to inspect them! I hope you are pleased! Thanks to all our parishioners and volunteers who helped bring the project to completion. b. Thank you for your donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal this year. We have reached 86% of our goal (same as last year), amounting to $46,360.02, representing gifts from 354 households. Your tax deductible gifts are still accepted until the end of June, should you still wish to donate. c. Thank you to all who have beautified our property by planting and maintaining the flower beds! It s so pleasant to see every day. Beauty is a reflection of God! All glory and honor belongs to Him. Thanks to ALL who maintain our parish church and make it a noble house for worship. d. Thanks to those guys who change our light bulbs in the church and sanctuary. They climb to the heavens only to bring light to those of us who otherwise would be in darkness! e. Thanks to those who have worked so hard to offer a new Parish Pictorial Directory. Many hours went into hosting the company who took pictures, making phone calls, taking individual pictures of those who could not make it to church, and offering designs. f. Thanks to those who take care of our vigil lights to assist in the devotion of our prayer. g. Thanks to those who open the church every morning, devote time and careful attention to the altar linens, and those who take the recyclables out to the dumpster. h. Thanks to all our committees who offer their time and talent for the continued viability of our parish life these committees and groups are too numerous to mention. i. Thanks to our altar servers who show up for weekend Mass! To our readers, distributors of Holy Communion (both at weekend Mass and those angels who take Holy Communion to the hospital and shut-ins), liturgical music personnel, and those who keep the church clean. May the Lord bless you! May the Lord let his face shine upon you and be gracious to you!! Fr. Gregory R. Hite, Pastor

Mr. Bernat studied ecclesiastical painting in Hungary and other countries, and had been a winner of the Prix de Rome. He used parishioners as well as high school students for models for the apostles and Christ as depicted on the ceiling and rear walls. Mr. Bernat was the co-founder of the Mansfield Fine Arts Guild (now Mansfield Art Center.) Martha Milligan Bernat, his wife, carved the Stations of the Cross in basrelief from Philippine mahogany. These stations were highlighted in the redecorating of the church in 1992. The first scaffolding for the centennial redecoration was erected on January 25, 1944 and the last removed November 9, 1945. With the completion of the redecorating of the church and the return of the men and women from military service, the parish was ready for its centenary celebration November 3, 1946. That same year (1946) marked the 75th year that the Joliet Franciscan Sisters taught in St. Peter s School. Information taken from the 2011 St. Peter s Parish Jubilee of Anniversaries commemorative booklet and Sister Paula Bingert. Picture by www.richlandsource.com A Family Perspective: Just as the apostles in today s Gospel were amazed at the power of Jesus so our children are amazed at our lack of fear of dark rooms or monsters in closets or under beds. As the apostles depended on Jesus, children depend on us to restore quiet to their lives. Getting out of bed at night to quiet a child s fears is the stuff of holiness.
