I have had this idea since arriving at Holy Savior that it would be nice to celebrate our namesake in a bigger way. As Holy Savior, we certainly celebrate Jesus every day and throughout the year as is right and just, but we also have St. Peter Claver as a patron. St. Peter Claver’s feast day is September 9th, which is coming up soon, and I thought this year might be a great year to celebrate it in a more intentional way. Thus, we will have a week of activities for our parish to participate in to celebrate St. Peter Claver and our parish. We don’t have the details for everything yet, but here are two big ones:

Wednesday Sept 9 - 6:00 p.m. Mass at the St. Peter Claver Complex followed by Adoration: Let’s have Mass and Adoration at St. Peter Claver for St. Peter Claver! I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.

Saturday, Sept 12 - Parish Picnic from 1:00-3:00 p.m.:  And then we can party with burgers and games at our annual Parish Picnic! Bring the whole family and a side dish and we will have a great time. We will also need some volunteers to help set up and tear down. Please consider helping! We plan to have a few more activities that week, so keep your eyes open for more information to come.

 All for God’s glory,
