Holy Hour of Reparations Holy Hour is the Roman Catholic Devotional tradition of spending an hour in Eucharistic adoration in the presence of the Exposed Blessed Sacrament. Holy Hour is in the Church on the 13th of each month at 6:00pm. When the 13th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Holy Hour is the Friday prior. 

Lectors This ministry serves the parish by bringing the Word of God to life. Ministers must be baptized and confirmed, registered members of St. Peter Church, practicing Catholics and active in the sacramental life of the Church. Lectors need to exhibit a love and respect for the Word of God and be willing to spend the time necessary in prayer and preparation for proclamation. Training is provided. 

Liturgy of the Word for Children Here at St. Peter, we follow the practice of a separate Liturgy of the Word with children during Sunday's 10:30am Mass. The Purpose of dismissing children (before the readings and returning after the homily) is to provide them with an environment and a time to hear God's Word at an appropriate level. Therefore, each  child is more likely to become an active listener and responder to God's Word with awe, praise, and thanksgiving while giving them an opportunity to understaind the Gospel message and consider how to practice it in life. Adults and teens contact Alisha Giles for questions and training. All materials provided.  

Ministers of Hospitality/Greeters This ministry is one of Hospitality to all who enter our church as it assembles for the Liturgy. The greeters are the first of Christ's faces to greet God's people as they assemble for prayer. 

Music This ministry supports the celebration of the Mass with music and reflection. The choir sings at the 10:30am Mass and practices 11:45-1:00pm on Sundays. All parishioners are welcome to join the music ministry through singing or playing an instrument. The children's choir sings at special Masses and practices at assigned times/days.
