Scripture Study: Explore the upcoming Sunday readings each Wednesday at noon while enjoying a simple meal.
Children’s Liturgy of Word is offered every Sunday during the 5:00 Mass at our St. Peter’s Church site so our youngest parishioners can more fully understand the readings at Mass. Participants will be called forth before the first reading and gather in the library to listen to the word at their level returning to the Mass during the offertory.
Confirmation preparation is offered on various Sunday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm for those young people in 11th or 12th grade who are preparing to receive this sacrament
