Saint Peter's Celebrates 400 Consecutive Months at SOME
The Catholic Standard features an article about Saint Peter's
dedication to helping SOME.
"On the first Tuesday of every month at St. Peter Parish in Olney,
a group of dedicated volunteers gathers in the parking lot between
the church and parish school to collect pans of chili prepared by
parishioners in their homes and brought to the parish. The food
is then delivered to So Others Might Eat (SOME) and becomes the
noon meal for the nearly 1,000 people fed daily by the interfaith
organization that serves the District's homeless and poor.
"This month marked the 400th consecutive month - more than
33 years - that St. Peter's volunteers have provided the meal,
and the manpower to serve it, to the Northeast Washington kitchen."

New Roman Missal
On November 27, 2011, the first Sunday of Advent, Roman Catholics in
the United States began praying the Mass using a new translation of the
third edition of the Roman Missal. While many of the prayers that have
become so familiar to us have changed, the Mass itself remains the same.
To help us learn more about the new translations and changes, the
Archdiocese of Washington has an 'e-learning' workshop, based on a
series of workshops produced by the Office of Worship for clergy and
parish liturgical leaders. Each video features Father Mark Knestout,
Director of the Office of Worship, explaining the New Roman Missal, and
contains a helpful follow-along presentation. To experience the training,
plus view helpful notes, side-by-side comparisons, and other information,
simply open the online workshops and follow along as the video plays.
