An Invitation to Friends from St. A's, St. L's, St. J the D, Ascension and Holy Spirit,

St. Peter's has long celebrated our Feast of Title (the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul) with a festive party in mid/late June. This year we would like to welcome all our friends from around South County to party with us, and so we are renaming the event from St. Peter's Day to Celebration by-the-Sea. We hope your church will join us.It will go down on Sunday, June 13 at 5pm at Memorial Park in Narragansett, which is the grassy park right next to the Narragansett Towers We've rented a huge tent to provide shade or protection from any rain (it rained last year, driving us indoors, as we didn't have a tent). We will again welcome the musical talents of a nine-piece calypso steel pan drum band, Pan Xpressions, who last year absolutely made the event. Tables, Brickley's Ice Cream, amazing live music, and a seaside Eucharist are all provided. All folks are asked to bring are lawn chairs, and their own food and beverages.We hope you'll spread the word to your congregations, so that this event will become an area-wide event. We are seeking ways to draw our parishes closer together, through fellowship and education. We must begin to move beyond parochial boundaries if we are to become the active, vibrant church I believe God is calling us to be in Rhode Island.Questions and offers of help for this even can be directed to the Chair of our Community Life Council, which is coordinating the event, BJ Carrangia, or the Church Office. Questions or comments to me are always welcome: 783-4623.
I pray God is blessing your work and life, and that we might all praise God together this June
