Saint Peter Claver
Welcome To Our Parish Family!
Parish Membership
Through baptism we become God’s sons and daughters, and brother and sisters of each other in Christ. Every
family in the parish should be properly registered and each family should receive a set of envelopes. New
parishioners should register at the Parish Office. Single adults over 21 years of age should register separately
from parents. This registration is our only means of certifying anyone as a member of our parish family.

THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
First Reading: Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a
Moses reminds the Israelites that when they were starving in
the desert, the Lord fed them with “manna” -- a food not
known to them.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Paul points out to the Corinthians that through the sharing of
the cup and the breaking of the bread, they are all one in
Christ Jesus.
Gospel: John 6:51-58
After Jesus feeds the five thousand people with barley loaves
and fishes, he tries to make them understand the significance
and the meaning of what he has done. He tells them, in
mysterious and beautiful words, that the bread he gives is his
flesh and says, “I myself am the living bread... If anyone eats
this bread, he shall live forever.”

 A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE 
Parenting is a Eucharistic activity because from the first
moment of conception children consume us, our flesh, blood,
energy, time and resources. If we don’t sacrifice ourselves,
our children would not have life. This is the priesthood of
parenting. Christ is present in this self sacrifice.
