Members of the Parish Pastoral Council of St. Peter’s have expressed concern about the spread of the Covid Virus in the city and have decided to extend the suspension of Masses with physical attendance till perhaps the end of this month, in order not to put our Parishioners in danger. The live streamed Masses will be held as usual: Saturday evenings : 6.00 pm; Sundays: 8.00 am (Children’s Mass); 9.00 am and 6.30 pm. Weekdays: 8.30 am and 7.00 pm. The Church will be open from 9.00 am to 11 am and from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm only from Monday to Friday, for personal prayer and adoration. Confessions on Saturdays will not be held. You may approach our priests personally in the parlour, if necessary.
The 18 minute session on Searching the Scriptures by Fr. Fio Mascarenhas was much appreciated and will continue to be available on our YouTube Channel. He initiates us into the Ignatian method of ‘Application of the senses’ to Scripture. This is a good preparation for the theme of next Sunday 23rd Jan, which is the Sunday of the Word of God.
Christian Unity Octave begins from this Tuesday the 18th till the 25th of January. Do we do anything more than say a prayer? What would you propose is neededto build bridges of fellowship and common action with our sisters and brothers of other Christian denominations?
