St. Peter Parish From the Director of Faith Formation Cambridge, MA Spring is the season for the Sacraments of Initiation. Many of our young parishioners have been preparing for several years to receive Eucharist for the first time or to be confirmed. This Saturday, 51 children and their parents will attend a 1st Communion Retreat. They will experience hands on the real and tactile aspects of the Mass: making unleavened bread, crushing grapes to make wine, and re-enacting the Last Supper. They will also tour the inside of the church, our worship space, and they will make banners, to be displayed at their 1st Communion Masses, with symbols of the Eucharist. The retreat is the highlight of their learning year, which culminates in their liturgies the weekends of May 8th and 15th. On April 13th, 25 of our high school students, from St. Peter s and the Francophone Catholic Community, will be confirmed at St. John the Evangelist Church, along with students from St. John s and St. Paul s. Each will bring his or her God-given graces and talents to our community, the wider Church, and the world. I have no doubt that God s love, mercy, and justice will manifest itself in the lives of these fully initiated young people throughout their entire lives. God s Holy Spirit works in exactly that way! This is a season for our entire parish community to celebrate the vitality of our Catholic Church! Please pray for those receiving 1st Communion and being confirmed and share in their joy!

March 26, 2016 If we open ourselves up to accept God s mercy for ourselves, in turn we become capable of forgiveness. April 2, 2016 4
