the parish, attend Mass on Sundays and Holy days of the year, participate in the sacraments, go to confession at least once a year, take part in the activities of the parish, and contribute to the offertory in a recognizable way (envelope or check) as a means of verification of attendance. Parish subsidy (Catholic tuition rate) for Catholic Schools will not be granted unless you are an “active, participating, registered Catholic.” Any family who is registered in St. Peter the Apostle Parish who chooses to send their child to another Catholic school in Savannah will be charged an additional $1,000 by that school.

a day in which we commemorate those

brave men and women who have died while

serving in the American military. Mass will be celebrated that day at 9:00 a.m. There will be no 7:30

a.m. Mass. The parish office and school will be closed in observance of

the holiday.

PRAYER AND ACTION This is the second year that the Diocese of Savannah will be hosting the Prayer and Action mission program and St. Peter the Apostle Parish will be their host. The program will reach out to various communities in the Savannah area, providing for those most in need. This is done by the laboring hands and open hearts of high school students and their adult leaders. They will paint, clean, do yard work, and perform other meaningful tasks for the poor, disabled, and the elderly. If you know of anyone who could benefit from their assistance, please contact Paula Hubert in the parish office at 897-5156 or phubert@spacsav.net.
