Excerpts of the peoples parts from the Roman Missal ovember 6, 2011 Part 6 of 7 On November 27, 2011, the English speaking Church in the USA will begin using a new translation of the prayers used at Mass (The Roman Missal). In order to become familiar with these changes before they are implemented, samples of the new texts will be printed here. Please check here weekly. Memorial Acclamations Priest: The mystery of faith. People: We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again. or When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup, we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again. or Save us, Savior of the world, for by your Cross and Resurrection, you have set us free.

Excerpts of the peoples parts from the Roman Missal ovember 13, 2011 Part 7 of 7 Priest: People: Priest: Communion Rite The peace of the Lord be with you always. And with your spirit. Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. Concluding Rite Priest: People: The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.

Mother ature
Within the past two months we have all endured the loving caresses of Mother Nature Hurricane Irene and the recent Noreaster. Unfortunately, both storms hit over the weekend making it difficult, if not impossible, for parishioners to come to Mass on those two Sundays. Consequently, our parish budget has taken a severe hit because of reduced collections and the unplanned snow removal expense and repairs to parish facilities. Due to these two storms, we already find ourselves at least $25,000 in the red for our fiscal year, which is a tremendous concern. Recognizing that everyone has had extraordinary expenses under the circumstances, we still need to make an appeal. If you were unable to maintain your monthly or weekly contribution due to the storms or if youve been away, it is never too late to put the envelope in the basket; please consider doing so during the month of November. If you are current with your envelopes and are in a position to make an additional contribution, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!

RCIA
Our Lady of Peace has had an active RCIA program since 1989. We have helped over 65 people finish or start their journey toward becoming Catholic. Many of these individuals are now active in our Parish and involved in different ministries. WHO ARE WE? WE ARE YOU! Parishioners who have volunteered their time as team members and sponsors. And we could use your help. We are in need of additional team members and sponsors, individuals who would like to help their neighbor in Christ find their way fully into the Catholic Church. Team members would work with the group on a weekly basis from September to April. Sponsors for the catechumens and candidates are asked to walk with the candidates during their journey towards full initiation and a place at the Lords table. Please keep in mind that the commitment need not be on going but would be for one year. If you are interested or would like to learn more about the RCIA process, please contact a priest at the Rectory or Rosemary Murphy at 908-4646699.
