Every year, the opening of a new Mass Intentions Book invites parishioners to reserve dates for dedicating Masses in memory of their deceased loved ones over the next year — often selected on special anniversary dates which are important to them. The name will be printed under Masses for the Week in the weekly bulletin, and read aloud for prayer during Mass.

Because we are a large parish and Mass dates are limited, we arrange a special process to do our best accommodating everyone’s requests. The morning of Thursday, May 22nd from 9:30am-12pm is when requests will first be processed in the Parish Center — on a first come, first serve basis — by bringing in the form and a minimum $10 donation per dedication. Only three Mass intentions per parishioner will be allowed on the day the Mass book opens. Any mailed-in requests will be processed afterwards.

Please refer to the 2026 Guidelines for detailed information, which includes the downloadable form to record your Mass intention requests to bring with you to the Parish Center on May 22nd.

Our St. Peter’s Communications Ministry serves our parish through spreading awareness of what’s happening in our faith community and building connections and spiritual support beyond the Mass. This small team of volunteers runs our Facebook and Instagram pages, website, bulletin, and media screen. Your talents and passions are needed — selecting scripture quotes, designing graphics, writing prayers, editing videos, researching saints, photographing events, and more.

New and returning faces are always welcome to join our monthly meeting in the Parish Center at 7:30pm.

St. Peter’s is thrilled to share that 17 of our high school students will attend Notre Dame Vision 2025—a 5-day summer faith retreat held on Notre Dame’s beautiful campus.

To support them, we’re launching a Ministry Partnership: an opportunity for parishioners to help cover the cost of airfare (around $650–$800 per student). No gift is too small — it will all go towards supporting our youth! In return, each donor will be paired with a student who will pray for them or their intentions throughout the retreat—including at sacred sites like the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. After the retreat, students will write thank-you letters sharing how the experience impacted their faith.

How to Donate:

• Venmo St. Peter’s (write Vision 2025 in the description)

• Check payable to St. Peter the Apostle with Vision 2025 in the memo (drop off at the rectory)

Prefer to stay anonymous? No problem—just note it when donating.

Deadline: Sunday, May 11th

Thank you for investing in the spiritual growth of our youth! If you have any questions, please reach out to Hannah Schmitz at hschmitz@saint-peter.org.
