Church guide

To prepare ahead of time for this Sunday's readings, take a listen on FORMED to this short lesson on the Gospel reading from Luke. We'll hear the miracle of Jesus multiplying fish and loaves of bread to feed thousands of people. The speaker in the video asks us how we can take what have, little as it may be, and offer it up to God and our neighbors. Enjoy!

If you or the kids are off from school for the #summer consider coming to #morning #mass during the week. Mass is held each weekday (except Wednesday) in the #chapel at 8:30 am and runs until roughly 9am. It’s a great way to start your day before heading to summer activities! Exposition of the most blessed #Sacrament follows mass on Tuesdays until noon.

Reminder that the parish office is closed on Fridays in the summer months. See you at masses! 5pm Saturday 7am, 9am, 11am Sunday

Here are some words on the upcoming Gospel Reading from John from the series "Opening the Word" on FORMED. Take a listen before mass this weekend! To create a free login on FORMED, type saintpeterchurch.formed.org into your web browser.

We asked Father David O’Brien Jr. what it means to him to become a Priest... this was his answer. Congrats to Father Dave, the O’Brien family, and the entire church family for this historic time. “Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, Take my memory, my understanding, and my entire will. All that I am and all that I call my own, You have given to me. To you, O Lord, I surrender it. Everything is Yours; do with it what You will. Give me only Your love and Your grace. These alone all are enough for me. Amen” - St. Ignatius of Loyola

Today at the Masses celebrated at the parish, we prayed this Litany for Healing, calling upon the Lord's Mercy of those impacted by child abuse. It is a very powerful, public witness, to call those responsible for child abuse to repentance. Please pray along with us, often, for those impacted by child abuse. We pray for the victims and their healing.
