Dear Friend(s) in Christ,Our Parish Directory is made available to you online, so as to have it accessible to our parishioners and friends.
As you can see, ministries abound at St. Peter Parish! As members of the Body of Christ, each of us has a contribution to make to the building of God's Kingdom. He blesses us in abundance with his grace and mercy, as we share our time, talent, and treasure with His people!
Please take time to reflect on the many hours of service that our generous parishioners offer on your behalf. Perhaps there is some way you would like to become involved. We welcome your service and value your talent! By becoming involved in our parish community, you will meet others, share stories, offer support, and grow in faith. That is what a parish community is all about--growing in love for God and our neighbor.
May the Lord continue to bless you in every way! Let us pray for each other, and gather regularly at the altar in our parish church to be nourished by the gift of the Eucharist!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Gregory R. Hite
Pastor
Welcome to St. Peter'sOur mission statement says: "We, the St. Peter's Parish Family, called by the Spirit to holiness, strengthened by Word and Sacraments, strive in our different ways to participate in the mission of Jesus, to share His Good News, pray together, serve others, teach, and be a witness of His healing love to all people." Our Mission statement invites, encourages and challenges all of us to be part of the Mission of Jesus Christ in our world today. Christ is experienced through our Sacraments, Scriptures and God’s people . . . you and me. All of us need to seek where we are called to become active. No one should be excluded, everyone should sense belonging. It would be “great “ if all we HAD to do was to attend Sunday, give our financial support and walk out until the following Sunday…but this is not the reality. We, because of our baptism need to be who we are, Christ's presence in our family, parish family, community and world today. Give a call to one of the contact persons listed in this directory…you’ll be glad you did. It will make a difference in your life and that of our parish family. Also, please read the weekly church bulletin and various newsletters for additional news about meeting times, activities, or new programs.
