St. Peter's Building Repair Fund

DEAR PARISHIONERS, The second collection will be for the building fund. Last year, we raised over $100,000 and complete nearly all of what was a very ambitious and much needed list of maintenance items. The last of the 2025 projects will be completed this spring. Recently, the electrical panel box in the Hall (original equipment) has presented several problems. Use of many of the circuits is now limited. We are increasing the goal to $170,000 for 2026 to support provision of a new breaker box, replacing a large portion of existing wiring, and replacing all of the original receptacles and switches. A new primary service line may be required. Thank you for supporting and maintaining the physical plant requirements of our wonderful parish. 

COMPLETED PROJECTS: Roof Repairs; $25,000, Church Pavers; $6,700, Parking Lot; $22,000, School Boilers; $54,000. UNFINISHED: Hall Air Conditioners; $14,000 and Electrical Work: $50,000

Eucharistic Adoration

On the first Friday of every month, you have the opportunity to spend time with our Lord beginning after 7AM Mass in Eucharistic Adoration. Spening time with Jesus, fully present in the Eucharist, is an intimiate experience that Christ desires to have with you. "A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spend sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."
