This is graduation time. It is a time for all of us to thank God for the blessings of the past and to look forward to the future.
There are graduates from many different levels of education. There are Pre Kindergarten and Kindergarten graduates, Elementary and Secondary graduates, College and Graduate school graduates. All of them deserve our congratulations and our prayers for their future.
Today, I would like to personally congratulate all graduates of all levels of education who are members of Saints Peter and Paul Parish. Know that I as your pastor, and all of us as a parish, are very proud of you.
I pray that God will bless all of you who worked with sincerity to reach this great accomplishment. I pray also that you will always recognize the graces and the gifts God gives you and use them for your own good and the good of those around you. We count on you to make our world a better place. Please know that wherever your future takes you, Saints Peter and Paul Parish is always here for you. I hope you will always consider this your home.
On behalf of all of us here at Saints Peter and Paul Parish, I congratulate and wish you God’s blessings as you finish one phase of your life and begin another. We love you and are very proud of you.
Congratulations to the Class of 2022.
God bless us all!

A Prayer For Our Young People
God our Father, you see your children growing up in an
unsteady and confusing world: Show them that your ways
give more life than the ways of the world, and that
following you is better than chasing after selfish goals.
Help them to take failure, not as a measure of their worth,
but as a chance for a new start.
Give them strength to hold their faith in you,
and to keep alive their joy in your creation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
