Main: 404-241-5862 A Time of Transition Fax: 404-241-5839 My dear sisters and brothers in Christ, The last year and a half has been an unprecedented time for us. The pan- demic has been an ordeal, but while not out of the woods yet, there is a www.stspandp.com sense over the course of this summer that things are getting back to a more functional place. I know many of you have felt the ache of being away from your parish community and every week I rejoice when I see people return. Many of you have done so and I’m so glad! An integral part of the Peter & Paul experience is the presence of our Welcome Ministers. Your hospitality and dedication ABSOLUTELY make a difference!!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Maria Mora for her 17+ years of dedication to this ministry. She has been a tireless and steadfast presence at the 5pm Vigil. Maria is stepping down and we all wish her joy in her ministerial retirement. This is also an opportunity to let you all know that Mrs. Barbara Cormier has graciously accepted to take on this mantle. Most of you know her and DePorres and I’m very thankful for her willingness and also feel like we’ll all be in good hands. As the title indicates, this is a time of transition. As many of you are now coming back to Mass more regularly, I hope you will please consider picking up the sash again and being part of the team that makes this such Second Collections an amazing parish.
