MUSIC MINISTRY UPDATE

The Contemporary Group and Adult Choir will lead music next weekend in Beaver.
On Saturday, May 21, at the 6:00 p.m. Mass at Saints Peter and Paul Church, the Contemporary Group of our parish will contribute their musical talent. A couple modern hymns, such as "Love is Here" and "Go Out, Go Out" will be led by this adept ensemble.
In mid-April, the parish's Adult Choir reverently sang for each of the Triduum liturgies. For the Sunday, May 22, 10:00 a.m. celebration, the choir will provide harmonies for the hymns and responses. After the Communion song, the choir will present an Easter themed meditation.

A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Mary, Queen of Peace, we turn to you, our Mother. Into your hands we place our prayers.
For our men and women serving in the military, protect them.
For innocent victims of war and violence, spare them. For those who mourn and are injured, comfort them. For people of all nations, unite them in the love and
peace of your Son, the Prince of Peace.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
