The Feast of the Chair St. Peter
Lenten Mission
Monthly Parish Holy Hour
In order to gain a Plenary Indulgence for the remission of punishments due to sin, one must visit one of these designated churches, receive the sacraments of Holy Communion and Confession, pray the Apostle’s Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be for the intentions of the Holy Father. As the indulgence may be applied for oneself or for the poor souls in purgatory, you may want to consider visiting each of these pilgrim churches during this Jubilee Year. Since our parish is one of these pilgrimage sites, this can be done as often as you desire when coming to Mass as long as all the requirements are met to receive the indulgence.
I ask that all our parishioners extend a word of welcome when encountering visitors who join us for Mass and have come to St. Peter Church as part of their Jubilee pilgrimage.

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.
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.
