Parishioner Katie Bird has organized a new Facebook group called "Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul (TN) - Buy Nothing Group." Basilica parishioners are encouraged to join and post items or services that they are offering to give away or looking to receive for free. The hope is to provide a convenient channel for practicing charity and solidarity within the Basilica community. Click for details.

Attention, rising 5th through 8th graders: Registration is now open for the annual summer God Camps, sponsored by the Diocese of Knoxville, that will be held at Adventure Ocoee in July 24 - 29. Click for more information and to register.

The Cause for Sainthood for former pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul, Fr. Patrick Ryan, has many costs associated. The Ombrellino Gift Shop now has mugs, pens, pencils, as well as medals to offer for a donation to the Cause of Sainthood of Fr. Patrick Ryan. If you would like to make a monetary donation to support the Cause, you can do so on our Online Giving or by donating cash or a check to the Basilica, marked "Cause of Fr. Patrick Ryan".
