Summer Choral Theatre 2016
Prince of Peace Catholic Church and School
Monday, June 13 – Friday, June 17, 2016
Performances Saturday, June 18, 2016 at 11:00
Attention elementary and middle school parents! Last year’s inaugural Summer Choral Theatre was a rousing success by any measure, so make sure to get your child registered for the opportunity to enjoy a week of fun, singing, acting, and games! Each participant will join with others from our parish and school in learning and performing a faith-building musical drama. Each half-day session is an all-inclusive activity that will include themed snacks, social activities and even outdoor time in addition to the rehearsals of singing, staging, and basic choreography. Both performances will be Saturday, June 18, at 11:00, and will conclude the week. Family and friends are welcome to come and enjoy the performances!
Francis: The Poor Little Man of God (rising) Grades 1-4 – Monday, June 13 thru Friday, June 17 – 9:30-12:00
This charming retelling of St. Francis of Assisi is a heartwarming performance to watch. It depicts Francis’ love of God’s creation and gives the young performers a model of how to always be thankful for everything in our lives, down to the smallest bird in the sky. Our younger participants will engage in a fully staged production that includes enchanting animal costumes!
The HitThe Rock Slinger and His Greatest Hit (rising) Grades 5-8 – Monday, June 13 thru Friday, June 17 – 1:30-4:30
The story of David and Goliath, a brave tale of courage and trust in God, makes a powerful impact in this musical production. The formidable combination of Allen Pote’s dramatic music and Tom Long’s lively dialogue makes for an exciting and enjoyable production for all ages. With a stage overrun with sentries, kings, commanders, spears, flying rocks, shepherds, and even a giant, your child won’t want to miss this hit of a musical!

Knights of Columbus 9184 Foothills Council presented Birthright of Greenville with a check for $23,000 to help fund their ongoing work supporting women experiencing unplanned pregnancies.
The charitable Catholic fraternal organization hosted their second “Luck of the Irish” Casino Night in Greer.
Attendees enjoyed an evening of casino-style games, a silent and a spirited live auction, food and fun.
”It has truly been a privilege to work with Birthright,” said event director Greg Pirochta. “It is such a worthy organization, reaching out and supporting women and babies in our community in such a personal and loving way. This event has really helped our council become more connected to their needs.”
Birthright of Greenville continues their 36-year mission offering loving alternatives to abortion for women in crisis.
“Birthright of Greenville is so very grateful for the support of the Knights of Columbus Foothills Council 9184 through the ‘Luck of the Irish’ fundraiser,” said Birthright of Greenville Director Meg Kocher. “The Knights hard work and dedication will assist Birthright in our mission to help many women facing unplanned pregnancies with loving alternatives to abortion.”
The Knights of Columbus support Birthright as part of their ongoing Culture of Life initiatives.
The council looks forward to offering an expanded evening of Irish themed Las Vegas style games, music and fun.
The 2017 event is scheduled for March 25 at the Cannon Centre in downtown Greer.

Summer Opportunities for Adult Christian Formation
Dante’s Divine Comedy – Back by popular demand! We are going to begin reading Dante’s Divine Comedy, widely regarded as among the greatest pieces of world literature ever written. The Comedy is a description, rich in philosophical and theological content, of one man’s journey through the afterlife – Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. While many non-Catholics tend to associate Dante with his vision of Hell, he in fact spends most of his Comedy among the saved. Dante has been rightly called the “poet of the popes” as many pontiffs have encouraged Catholics to read his masterpiece. Pope Paul VI went as far as to call Dante “the poet of theologians and the theologian of poets” and Pope Benedict XV called the Divine Comedy “the fifth gospel.” Pope Francis has recommended Catholics take up this book during the Year of Mercy, calling Dante “a prophet of hope, herald of the possibility of redemption, liberation and the profound transformation of every man and woman, of all humanity.” Join us on Tuesday evenings (7p – 8:30) from 31 May to 30 August as we journey from the depths of sin to the very face of God! Email Nathan Barontini at nathanbarontini@gmail.com with any further questions.
