The Light Is On For You
Wednesday Evening Confessions Across the Diocese this Advent
On the first three Wednesdays of Advent (December 4th, December 11th and December 18th) from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm we will be offering confessions here at St. Peter Parish, together with all the Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Lafayette. This outreach is called “The Light Is On For You,” and is an effort on the part of our Diocese to highlight the importance of the Sacrament of Confession in the life of Catholics and to make it as easy as possible for every Catholic to come or to return to this great source of God’s mercy and healing love. You are welcome to come here or to go to any other Catholic parish in the Diocese. Please make plans to come yourself and please invite others to take advantage of this great opportunity to be reconciled and begin anew your journey in faith this Advent.

Parish Vocations Cross
Each week, a family or an individual from our parish receives the vocations cross. During the week they pray for vocations not only from our parish, but throughout the diocese for vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, religious and consecrated life. If you or your family would like to receive the vocations cross, please scan the QR code below or click here.

The Power of Prayer
Prayer does not need to be done on our own. We can invite others to pray for our specific intentions.
A prayer journal has been placed in the vestibule of the church near the newly hung crucifix. You are welcome to write your intentions in this journal, and we invite parishioners as they enter the church to join in prayer for your intentions.
Eucharistic Adoration: Answering God’s Call
Adoration Chapel
The Chapel of Divine Mercy has an exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from Sunday evenings at 5:00 pm until Friday mornings at 7:00 am.
Homebound Ministry
St. Peter Parish has many ministries that are often not known by many of our parishioners. Did you know that we currently have six parishioners who tend to our homebound parishioners on a weekly basis by bringing Holy Communion? Currently there are fourteen homebound parishioners that regularly receive visits.
If you know of a family member or a neighbor who is a parishioner that is either permanently or temporarily homebound and cannot attend Holy Mass, please see if they would like to receive Holy Communion at home. Our normal process is to assign a new person to one of our homebound ministers. Fr. Nathan will make the initial pastoral visit to speak to the homebound parishioner and hear their confession if warranted. A family member simply needs to call the parish office to initiate the process.
